Palazzo Borromeo, Renaissance palazzo in central Milan, Italy
The palazzo occupies a city block with two courtyards, featuring exposed brick walls and a grand portal made of Candoglia pink and Verona red marble.
The Borromeo family arrived in Milan from Tuscany after 1370, establishing their residence and banking headquarters at this location during the late 14th century.
The main hall contains medieval frescoes depicting aristocratic games and leisure activities, painted by the Master of the Borromeo Games in the 1440s.
Located at Piazza Borromeo 12, the palace stands near the Church of Santa Maria Podone, which the Borromeo family supported as patrons since the 15th century.
The courtyard of honor displays asymmetrical double arches supported by octagonal pillars, with walls bearing the Borromeo family motto 'Humilitas' and heraldic decorations.
