Municipio, Town hall palace in Piazza Trento e Trieste, Monza, Italy
The Municipio is a four-story palace with a granite base and exposed brick facade, organized around two inner courtyards with decorated window frames and pediments. The architecture combines solid construction with carefully crafted details that convey the prestige of a municipal administrative building.
Construction began in 1926 under architect Augusto Brusconi and finished in 1937 with contributions from engineer Giovanni Sacchi. The project reflects Monza's municipal expansion during that period.
The representative hall displays an engraving of Raphael's 'Marriage of the Virgin', showing the city's commitment to sharing artistic heritage with residents and visitors. This exhibition space reflects how the building serves as a keeper of cultural treasures for the community.
The main entrance faces Piazza Trento e Trieste, with an additional portico access toward Piazza Carducci providing an alternative way in. The inner courtyards offer natural light and help with orientation as you move through the building.
An additional portico was added in 1935 facing Piazza Carducci, representing a departure from the original design concept. This later modification expanded the building's accessibility and created a second facade.
