Casa Radice Fossati' is a historic building in Milan located at via Cappuccio no. 13
The palace is one of the oldest examples of aristocratic residential architecture in Milan: in fact, the building dates back in its primitive forms, most of which have been preserved on the outside, to the 13th century. On the contrary, the interior was remodelled in the 17th century. [1]
The façade is in terracotta with various openings resulting from the various remodelling and restoration work that the palazzo has undergone over the years: the structure is very sober as typical of Romanesque architecture; the only decorated element of the façade is in fact the arched portal with alternating terracotta and stone ashlars. The entrance to the interior is through a hallway decorated with a coffered ceiling. The inner courtyard is defined on three sides, one of which is porticoed with Tuscan order columns and a coffered ceiling, by the building, while the fourth side faces the garden of the dwelling. [1]

Neoclassical architecture in Milan encompasses the main artistic movement from about 1750 to 1850 in this northern Italian city. From the final years of the reign of Maria Theresa of Austria, through the Napoleonic Kingdom of Italy and the European Restoration, Milan was in the forefront of a strong cultural and economic renaissance in which Neoclassicism was the dominant style, creating in Milan some of the most influential works in this style in Italy and across Europe. Notable developments include construction of the Teatro alla Scala, the restyled Royal Palace, and the Brera institutions including the Academy of Fine Arts, the Braidense Library and the Brera Astronomical Observatory.

Latterly, two churches, San Tomaso in Terramara and San Carlo al Corso, were completed in Neoclassical style before the period came to an end in the late 1830s.
