Palazzo Serbelloni, Neoclassical palace in Porta Venezia, Milan, Italy

The palace features a grand porticoed courtyard, an ornate helical staircase, and multiple rooms decorated with detailed mythological frescoes on the main floor.

Constructed between 1765 and 1793 under architect Simone Cantoni, the palace served as a temporary residence for Napoleon Bonaparte and Josephine for three months in 1796.

The Serbelloni family regularly hosted intellectual gatherings with notable figures such as Pietro Verri and Giuseppe Parini in their refined reception rooms.

Guided tours of Palazzo Serbelloni, located at Corso Venezia 16, last 90 minutes and are conducted by licensed guides and an art historian from Fondazione Serbelloni.

The palace suffered extensive damage during World War II air raids in 1943, resulting in the loss of 75,000 books from its library and valuable Traballesi frescoes.
