2 unusual facts about Palazzo Marino


Palazzo Marino

In 1781, the palace was once again bought by the State (the notable Milanese scholar Pietro Verri had an important role in convincing the authorities to buy the palace) and became the seat of administrative and tax offices.

In the courtyard, sculptures were erected representing the Labours of Hercules and the Metamorphoses.
