Palazzo Arese

Palazzo Arese (also known as Palazzo Arese Lucini and Palazzo Arese Pallavicini) was the 18th–19th century seat of the House of Arese in Milan, Italy. It was located adjacent to Casa Fontana Silvestri near the Porta Orientale (today Corso Venezia n°8). The palazzo was demolished in 1943 following damage sustained during the bombing of Milan in World War II.[1]

The palazzo was home to Antonietta Fagnani Arese (1778–1847), the subject of Ugo Foscolo's ode "All'amica risanata." Foscolo describes the palazzo in numerous letters to the countess of Barlassina.[2] The current building at 8 Corso Venezia is said to retain one of Palazzo's neoclassical balconies in its facade.[3]
