History and description

Although the origin of the palace dates back to the 15th century, the façade was rebuilt in the 19th century with a typically neoclassical appearance: the ground floor has a smooth rusticated ashlar, with a round arch portal enclosed between two pairs of pilasters supporting a balcony. The first and second floors are marked by pilasters of Corinthian order: the main floor has windows decorated with rectilinear mouldings, while the second floor has French windows with simple cornices. Remains of the Renaissance palace can be seen in the portico of Tuscanic order columns, while in the smaller courtyard there are remains of the demolished Milan lazaretto. [1]

Palazzo Rucellai is a palatial fifteenth-century townhouse on the Via della Vigna Nuova in Florence, Italy. The Rucellai Palace is believed by most scholars to have been designed for Giovanni di Paolo Rucellai by Leon Battista Alberti between 1446 and 1451 and executed, at least in part, by Bernardo Rossellino. Its splendid facade was one of the first to proclaim the new ideas of Renaissance architecture based on the use of pilasters and entablatures in proportional relationship to each other. The Rucellai Palace demonstrates the impact of the antique revival but does so in a manner which is full of Renaissance originality.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Neoclassical architecture in Milan</span> Medieval artistic movement

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. Neoclassicism also led to the development of monumental city gates, new squares and boulevards, as well as public gardens and private mansions. 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.
