Palazzo Sormani, Italian Baroque palazzo in Corso di Porta Vittoria, Milan, Italy.

The building features a rococo facade designed by Francesco Croce and an additional facade leading to gardens created by Benedetto Alfieri.

General Giovanni Batista Castaldo, the first recorded owner in the 16th century, acquired part of King Decebal's gold treasure from Transylvania.

Cardinal Cesare Monti utilized the palazzo to display his art collection during the 17th century before passing it to heir Cesare Monti-Stampa.

The palazzo functions as Milan's central public library since 1956, following extensive restoration work by architect Arrigo Arrighetti.

The inner garden, designed by Leopold Pollack, contains statues by Agenore Fabbri depicting boar hunting scenes, installed in 1955.
