Built by the sculptor, Leone Leoni between 1562 and 1566 as his Milan residence, this building is famous above all for it's façade, which has eight telamons, known as the "omenoni" (great men in Milano's dialect), sculpted in solid stone. The rest of the decoration is highly ornamental and reflects the cultured style of its architect.
In that building was conserved for more than 300 years the Codice Atlantico of Leonardo da Vinci.
