THE HISTORY
The divergent forms of Renaissance architecture in parts of Europe, peculiarly in Italy, has added to the difficulty of defining Neo-Renaissance architecture. A colossal historic building in the heart of Milan: under the broad designation Neo-Renaissance architecture , Palazzo Turati was built in the eighteen-century by the engineers Ponti and Bordoli on behalf of Count Francesco Turati. Under the commission of della Camera Commercio Di Milano, architect Paolo Mezzanotte renovated the Palazzo in 1929-1931. Palazzo Turati retained its appearance and structure until the Second World War when the bombings of August 1943 damaged the internal structure which initially had colonnaded courtyard typical of the Milanese tradition, was thoroughly remodeled.
