Palazzo Frette, Italian national heritage palazzo in Monza, Italy.

The palazzo features two symmetrical towers and a central circular hall, with the main entrance marked by a large eagle with spread wings.

Count Ercole Durini commissioned architect Carlo Amati to construct the palazzo in 1851 on the site of the former Visconti Castle.

The building represents the architectural transitions of the 19th century, combining multiple design elements in its structure and decoration.

Located at Largo Giuseppe Mazzini 1, the palazzo currently houses La Rinascente department store and remains open to the public.

The Frette textile company acquired the building in 1860 and doubled its original size in 1911, adding the second tower to match Amati's design.
