Palazzo Cusani, Baroque palace in Brera District, Milan, Italy.

The external facade of Palazzo Cusani displays late Roman Baroque elements, including ornate window frames and prominent balconies along Via Brera street.

Between 1694 and 1719, architect Giovanni Ruggeri redesigned the exterior facade under Gerolamo Cusani's direction, followed by Giuseppe Piermarini's interior renovation from 1775 to 1779.

The palace interiors maintain numerous 18th-century decorative elements documented in the 1808 property deed, representing the architectural preferences of Milanese nobility.

Located at Via Brera 13-15, the building now functions as NATO's representation in Milan and houses the Lombardy Army Military Command since 2012.

Three cannonballs remain embedded in the rear wall from Radetzky's artillery during the Five Days of Milan uprising.
