Palazzo Gonzaga di Vescovado, Romanesque Revival palazzo in Via Carducci, Milan, Italy.
Description
Palazzo Gonzaga di Vescovado is a Neo-Romanesque residence on Via Carducci in Milan. The building has a recessed central body flanked by two wings that frame a courtyard enclosed by an iron fence.
History
Prince Emanuele Gonzaga commissioned architect Cecilio Arpesani to design this residence, which was built between 1897 and 1901. The palazzo emerged during a period when Milan was rapidly transforming into a modern city.
Culture
The building draws on architectural forms from the Basilica of Sant'Ambrogio and displays typical Lombard Neo-Romanesque elements throughout. You can see these references in the details and craftsmanship when you walk through the courtyard.
Practical
The building now houses several classrooms of the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore and is located at Via Carducci 28-30. Its position on this central street makes it easy to reach on foot.
Did you know?
The entrance features a porter's lodge designed to resemble small chapels in Romanesque churches, decorated with terracotta bricks. This design choice gives the entry a spiritual character despite it being a private residence.
