Palazzo Brentani, Neoclassical palace in Via Manzoni, Milan, Italy
The three-story palace features a symmetrical facade with decorative cornices and medallions depicting notable Italian figures between its first and second floors.
In August 1848, King Charles Albert of Sardinia survived an assassination attempt while standing on the palace balcony during civil unrest.
The palace displays medallion portraits of important Italian figures including Alessandro Volta, Leonardo da Vinci, Antonio Canova, Pietro Verri, and Giuseppe Parini.
The palace, together with the neighboring Palazzo Anguissola, houses the Gallerie di Piazza Scala and stands at Via Manzoni numbers 6-8.
The entrance door supports a ceremonial balcony designed for viewing street processions, making it a focal point for public gatherings.
