Palazzo dell'Aeronautica, Monumentalist building in Piazza Novelli, Milan, Italy.

The Palazzo dell'Aeronautica spans five floors with a marble tower, straight sections along Via Verrocchio, and a curved section at Via Gaio.

The construction of this Italian Air Force headquarters started in 1935 under architect Luigi Lorenzo Secchi and continued through World War II until 1948.

The building features a chapel dedicated to Virgin Lauretana and contains a memorial for fallen aviators relocated from Cascina Malpensa in 2005.

The complex includes four main structures: the Command Palace, the Generals' Palace for senior staff, and two barracks accessible from side streets.

During construction, the building exclusively used national materials, including Apuan marbles, following strict ministerial guidelines to minimize metallic components.
