Palazzo Durini di Monza stands at Via Santa Maria Valle 2 in central Milan, preserving a noble residence with medieval roots. Its architecture combines styles accumulated across centuries. The building remains associated with the Durini family and houses the Fondazione Alessandro Durini, established by Antonio Durini Litta. Its courtyard and rear garden served Antonio Canova during his stays in Milan. Baroque stuccoes attributed to Martino Knoller enrich the interiors, while the first noble floor presents Barocchetto Teresiano. Giuseppe Bossi lived in the palace. During Bossi’s residence, the building became an early Milanese house museum, displaying Mantegna’s Cristo Morto and drawings by Leonardo. The Napoleonic government supported a painting academy here. Ground-floor rooms contain historical paintings and furnishings from the Durini collection, while Milanese museums display many related works. The palace therefore connects aristocratic interiors with Milan’s artistic history. Its architectural character brings together a courtyard, a garden, stuccoes and a neoclassical façade. The building records the city’s links with Canova, Bossi and the Durini family.
