CORSO VENEZIA

One of the most aristocratic streets in the city. Here, in fact, noble families and, later, those of the Milanese upper middle class built their palaces of great architectural merit. Here then is Casa Fontana-Silvestri one of the very few Renaissance mansions left standing in Milan and then Palazzo Serbelloni, neoclassical style, with a beautiful ballroom in the Napoleonic hall. And again Palazzo Saporiti, with its scenic loggia surmounted by 10 statues and Palazzo Chiesa and Villa Invernizzi ... Recently, in one of these imposing palaces, Casa Cipriani (with entrance from Via Palestro) opened, one of the most prestigious and elegant club hotels in the world. Today Corso Venezia combines this noble heritage with a modern vocation for design, particularly Italian design. Indeed, the showrooms of Fornasetti, Armani Casa and Dolce&Gabbana home also face here.
