A collaborative project involving architects Roberto Menghi and Marco Zanuso and the painter Lucio Fontana, this palazzo – built between 1947 and 1948 – is the earliest manifestation of the synthesis of the arts envisioned by the Milanese architects in the aftermath of the Second World War. Fontana produced the scratched-ceramic panels that sit under the windows, and the five polychromatic ceramic bands that punctuate the glass wall above the entrance with recurring geometric motifs.
