 Turati Palace (Chamber of Commerce of Milan)
Built in 1880 by the engineers Ponti and Bordoli commissioned by Count Turati who in 1876 had already had the adjacent palazzo built. The architects used the palazzo della Cancelleria as a model to follow. The external aspect is characterised by the regularity and linearity of the facade, with rich decorations that echo the Florentine and Roman examples. After repeated transformations and war related damage, the historically important building which could not be demolished or modified in any way was adapted by the Castiglioni brothers, who succeeded in proposing a solution which enabled the external facade of the building to be maintained. After four years Palazzo Turati finally became the official headquarters of the Milan Chamber of Commerce. The building is currently able to host more than 300 people, offering itself as a technologically advanced convention centre and the ideal meeting place for businesses who want to stage conferences, round table discussions and seminars in a prestigious setting.

 Villa Corbella Martinelli Sioli
The numerous names traditionally attributed to the villa indicate the just as numerous changes of ownership that the monument was subject to during the course of the centuries. The Martinelli family took over from the Corbella family and subsequently left the dwelling place to the Archbishops of Milan, it then became the property of Angelo Sioli. From this moment onwards, the building lost all connotation of being a noble building.

 Villa San Carlo Borromeo
An interesting noble dwelling, planned in a u-shape, set in the heart of a large English-style park, with an abundance of various botanical species. The first building was built at the wishes of Federico Borromeo, who lent hospitality there to some religious during the plague of 1630; but it was Gilberto IV Borromeo, the bishop of Novara, who planned the restructuring of the old noble residence. The transformation of the villa into a monumental palace, built around an open courtyard, was completed with the participation of the Milanese architects Fausto and Giuseppe Bagatti Valsecchi. The sumptuous interior contains some wooden ceilings and the Rome room, with portraits of popes and cardinals.
