Palazzo del Banco di Roma

Palazzo del Banco di Roma, Monumental palazzo in Milan, Italy.

Palazzo del Banco di Roma is a monumental building in Milan with a triangular layout and a concave facade featuring a tower element facing the central Piazza Tommaso Edison. The structure displays carefully proportioned stone surfaces and rhythmic architectural details.

The palazzo was built between 1939 and 1940 to a design by the Udine-born architect Cesare Scoccimarro. It replaced Casa Lancia, a Liberty-style building erected in 1905 by the Milanese architect Manfredini on a wedge-shaped plot and used from 1907 as the seat of Banca Jarach; it was demolished in 1939. The plot had been created at the end of the 19th century when the former convent of Bocchetto was cleared for the new business district around Piazza degli Affari.

The facade displays a large bas-relief of the she-wolf nursing Romulus and Remus, alongside high reliefs of the Goddess Roma and Saint Ambrose. These carvings reflect the connection between ancient Roman history and Milan's own patron saint.

The building stands on Piazza Tommaso Edison, occupying the wedge-shaped block between Via Bocchetto and Via della Posta. The concave tower facade faces the square, so the reliefs are best seen from the open space in front. The surrounding streets are public and can be walked at any time.

The structure embodies Stile Littorio, an architectural style defined by symmetrical patterns and classical Italian features that was widespread during this period. Such stylistic elements were not merely aesthetic but also reflected a broader urban planning vision of those years.
