Palazzo delle Poste, Historic palazzo in Piazza Cordusio, Milan, Italy

Palazzo Broggi, known as Palazzo delle Poste, is a palazzo at Piazza Cordusio 3 in Milan. Its pink stone facade in the Umbertine style has a porticoed ground floor with three portals topped by broken curved pediments; the central one carries colossal statues of Industry and Commerce by Achille Alberti. The first floor has windows with alternating triangular and curved pediments framed by Ionic pilasters.

Palazzo Broggi was built as Milan's new stock exchange, replacing the seat at Palazzo dei Giureconsulti used since 1809. Designed by Luigi Broggi, it opened in October 1901 as part of the redevelopment of Piazza Cordusio. The exchange remained here until 1932, when it moved to Palazzo Mezzanotte. The building then served as a post office until 2013.

The name Palazzo delle Poste recalls its use as a post office from 1932 to 2013, after the stock exchange moved to Palazzo Mezzanotte. The central portal carries two colossal statues of Industry and Commerce by Achille Alberti, a detail to look for at street level. Since 2018 the building has housed a Starbucks Reserve Roastery where coffee roasting is shown to visitors.

The building stands within easy walking distance of Cordusio metro station and is simple to reach on foot. From here, visitors can quickly reach the Cathedral or other central attractions.

The interior of the building now houses Europe's first Starbucks Reserve Roastery, a specialized coffee bar that has settled into this historic setting. This unexpected combination shows how Milan merges traditional structures with contemporary experiences.
