Palazzo Berri Meregalli is one of the greatest examples of eclectic architecture in Italy and Europe, skilfully combining different architectural styles ranging from Romanesque to Art Nouveau through Gothic.
Built between 1911 and 1913 by the architect Giulio Ulisse Arata for the entrepreneurs Nebo Berri and Innocente Meregalli, it is considered his masterpiece.

Occupying a corner lot right in the centre of Milan, only one block from elegant Corso Venezia and the Palestro station of the underground, the building's corner facade conveys a unique and powerful aura of monumentality.
Palazzo Berri-Meregalli's eclectic design skilfully combines different architectural styles: the Romanesque style evocative of the Byzantine architecture of Ravenna, is evident in the refined stonework, the exposed bricks, the arches, the loggias, and the mosaics; the Gothic style, transpires from the rough ashlar, the vertical development and the individually hand-sculpted "gargoyles" that overlook the street from above; and finally, the Art Nouveau style, which is expressed by the cherubs, the precious ceiling frescoes, the mosaics, and the wrought ironworks, created for the Palazzo by a master of its time: Angelo Mazzucotelli.
This "mix" of both forms (including sculptural decorations by Calegari and Prendoni) and historical periods give the building a magnificent and mysterious atmosphere.
Access to the Palazzo is through an original wrought iron gate, also by Mazzucotelli, which leads to an enchanting atrium, a symphony of rustic bricks and sumptuous mosaics, frescoes that decorate the ceilings, and fine stained glass by Angiolo D'Andrea and Adamo Rimoldi. The precious flooring, all in original mosaic tiles arranged in geometric patterns, along with the wrought irons beaten by Mazzucotelli, lead the visitor to the "Winged Victory," of the most iconic sculptures by Adolfo Wildt: a marble with gilding sculpture designed and sculpted between 1918 and 1919 to celebrate the end of the First World War.
The art critic Elena Pontiggia wrote of this work, "immediately after the end of the war, Wildt represents the thousand-year theme of "Nike": instead of identifying it with a winged creature, according to classical iconography, he identifies it only with a face and wings without a body, to symbolize the spiritual dimension in its ideal thrust and cry".
Integral part of the sculpture is also the cylindrical rod, surrounded by a crown of flames and raised on a cubic pediment.
The palazzo is still in use as a private residence and houses several luxury apartments and the external facades of the building have been recently restored, under the supervision of the Superintendence.
