Built between 1826 and 1831 by the Reina Family, the Palazzo eventually passed into the hands of the Municipality of Milan in 1921. In 2014 a property investment company acquired the Palazzo and has faithfully restored it respecting its authentic and historical significance. The interior design project expresses the contrast between history and future showing the many layers of time in the texture of the interior walls juxtaposed with futuristic colored aluminum. The blue, orange and green symbolize the energy of nature, and also delivers a sense of translucency, as Yoshioka explains.
