Palazzo Citterio, also known as Palazzo Furstemberg, is an elegant 18th-century mansion located at 12-14 Via Brera, in the heart of Milan. Acquired by the state in 1972, the palace was to become the centerpiece of the \u201cGrande Brera,\u201d a visionary project conceived by Franco Russoli, then director of the Brera Art Gallery.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Due to the spatial continuity between the Brera and Citterio palaces through the latter’s garden and botanical garden, it presented itself as an ideal candidate to solve the space problems of the Brera Picture Gallery and its offices. Among other things, the rooms of the Citterio palace housed the famous collection of Emilio Jesi. Since then there have been several projects for its recovery.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
