Overview
Palazzo Marino, located in the heart of Milan on Piazza della Scala, has been the city's municipal seat since 1861. This 16th-century palace, designed by architect Galeazzo Alessi from Perugia, is a stunning example of Mannerist architecture.The palace was originally commissioned by Tommaso Marino, a wealthy Genoese banker, in 1558. However, Marino faced financial difficulties, and the palace was later acquired by the State in 1781. Over the centuries, Palazzo Marino has undergone several restorations and renovations, including significant work by Luca Beltrami in the late 19th century. The building suffered damage during World War II, leading to further restoration efforts.Today, Palazzo Marino is not only the seat of Milan's government but also a cultural landmark. Its interior boasts richly decorated rooms, including the Sala Alessi, and a beautiful courtyard adorned with Renaissance statues. While the palace is generally open to visitors, access to some areas may be restricted, and guided tours are available.
