Milan - Scala Square and her Palaces |
Crossing the Vittorio Emanuele II Arcade from
south to north, we come out in the famous Scala Square. On the far side
of the square we see La Scala Theater
and opposite us is Palazzo Marino, today Milan's City Hall. The monument in the
center of the square portays Leonardo Da Vinci sourrounded by his pupils.
Galeazzo Alessi was commissioned by the 16th century Genovese
merchant Tommaso Marino - a real tycoon in his day - to design the palace.
One of its more striking features is the vast inner courtyard with an unusual
decorative scheme of human and animal head sculptures surrounded by carved
garlands and geometric patterns. |
