Address: Piazza Missori

The building is in Piazza Missori. It is a relevant example of modern architecture in Milan.

It was built in 1931 after the project of the architect Marcello Piacentini, an emblematic figure of the architecture of the fascist period in Italy.

The specular figures on top of the gate draw inspiration from classical iconographic models and represent Providence (Providentia) and Social Welfare (Praevidentia), whereas the figures on the lateral door jambs symbolise Domus, Labor, Amor, Fides, Salus and Virtus.

Through the monumental helicoidal stairs before a pair of black marble columns embellished with a wooden figure of a young boy with cornucopia at the beginning of the balustrade of the stairs created by the Milanese designer Mario Quarti, you can access the meeting hall. Here there are 4 lunettes above the door painted on plywood.

They were carried out by the Roman artist Cipriano Efisio Oppo and represent: maternity, work, savings and old age.
