Staircase, Palazzo dell'Arengario
Piazza del Duomo
Milan, November 2016
“The Palazzo dell'Arengario is a Fascist-era complex of two symmetrical buildings in Piazza del Duomo, the central piazza of Milan, Italy. It was completed in the 1950s and currently houses the Museo del Novecento, a museum dedicated to 20th-century art. The word ‘arengario’ refers to its original function as a local government seat in the Fascist period. The Arengario was designed by Piero Portaluppi, Giovanni Muzio, Pier Giulio Magistretti e Enrico Agostino Griffini. Construction began in 1936, but experienced several delays and suffered from the World War II bombings; it was eventually completed in 1956. The façade is decorated with reliefs by Arturo Martini.” (Palazzo dell'Arengario, Wikipedia)
