Casa Grondona is a historic building at Corso Italia 47 in central Milan, Italy.

History

The palace was commissioned by Felice Grondona, a wealthy industrialist, who employed the architect Enrico Terzaghi. Designed in a Neo-Renaissance style, the building was completed in 1876.

Description

The ground floor is made from rectangular blocks of stone; it has protruding porticos supporting three balconies. An interlaced frieze separates the ground and first floor. The facade has little decoration, consisting of repeated lion-face masks in roundels and on the brackets supporting the roof.
