Palazzo Orsini

Palazzo Orsini, Neoclassical palace in Borgonuovo district, Milan, Italy.

Palazzo Orsini is a neoclassical palace at via Borgonuovo 11 in Milan. Its facade was designed by Luigi Clerichetti in the mid-19th century, while the main courtyard and two symmetrically placed service courtyards date to the late 17th century. Inside, Luigi Canonica completed the interiors and grand staircase at the end of the 18th century, with frescoes by Giovanni Antonio Cucchi and Andrea Appiani.

Begun in the second half of the 17th century by the Secco-Borella family and left unfinished, the palazzo was occupied by the Orsini in 1662 and completed with lavish interiors. After the Orsini line died out it passed to the Falcò-Pio, who held it until 1918. Luigi Clerichetti gave the facade its present form in the mid-19th century, and Luigi Canonica finished the interiors at the end of the 18th century.

The frescoes inside were painted by Giovanni Antonio Cucchi and Andrea Appiani, artists who shaped Milan's visual heritage. These wall paintings show how art and architecture came together in the city during that period.

The building is located centrally on Via Borgonuovo but remains a private space with limited public access. You can admire the facade from the street, and the halls occasionally open for special events and design exhibitions.

The building now serves as the headquarters of Giorgio Armani SpA and houses the Armani Privé atelier, making it a living example of how historic architecture adapts to contemporary design. During Milan Design Week, the halls open to showcase new collections against their frescoed backdrop.
