Description

In the first episode of the itinerary on architecture in Milan we discover one of the most characteristic styles of Milan, the "Liberty" style.

First we explore it in the Porta Venezia district, and then we appreciate its more radical consequences in the Quadrilatero del Silenzio, the "Quadrangle of Silence", with Palazzo Fidia, the unfinished dream of the brilliant architect Aldo Andreani and Palazzo Berri Meregalli, the flamboyant creation of Giulio Ulisse Arata.
