Palazzo Resta-Pallavicino, Baroque palazzo in Milan, Italy

Palazzo Resta-Pallavicino stands at via Conservatorio 7 in Milan, a Baroque building whose neoclassical facade was redone between 1837 and 1839. The first piano nobile holds frescoed rooms, among them the family chapel. Since 1946 the architect Emilio Lancia has led restoration of these halls after the 1943 bombings. It now houses the University of Milan's Faculty of Political, Economic and Social Sciences.

Carlo Resta, a nobleman, bought the building in 1724; it later passed to the Pallavicino marquises, who had it almost entirely rebuilt. The neoclassical facade on Via Conservatorio was redone between 1837 and 1839, when the interiors were also renovated. Badly damaged by the 1943 bombings, it was restored from 1946 by architect Emilio Lancia, starting with the first-floor rooms.

The palazzo's first piano nobile holds frescoed halls, among them the family chapel, decorated when the interiors were renewed in 1837–1839. The building now houses the Faculty of Political, Economic and Social Sciences of the University of Milan, so its rooms are used for study and teaching rather than as a noble residence.

The palazzo stands at Via Conservatorio 7, a short walk from the Duomo and San Babila metro stops. It is a working university building, so the frescoed first-floor halls and the private chapel are not open as a museum; access depends on faculty hours and events. Look up at the neoclassical facade from the street.

The first-floor rooms keep their 1837–1839 frescoes, and among them is the palazzo's own private chapel. After the 1943 bombings, architect Emilio Lancia began restoring these halls only from 1946. The building now houses the University of Milan's Faculty of Political, Economic and Social Sciences.
