Palazzo Feltrinelli was built between 1898 and 1899 as the private home of Giuseppe Feltrinelli. This imposing structure has a rectangular plan and is believed to have been the work of Alberico Belgiojoso, although some have attributed it to Francesco Solmi, who designed Gargnano’s cemetery. The palace has a particularly prominent entrance and central hall which is lit through the roof. At one time it was requisitioned by the Fascist government, who converted it into Benito Mussolini’s headquarters. It is now part of Milan’s public university and used as an international conference centre.
