Palazzo Moriggia
Milano Outside/Inside, a journey through Valextra for Milano
In the heart of the city of Milan, the Palazzo Moriggia was designed by Giuseppe Piermarini in 1775. Today, its 14 rooms are a collective treasure trove of artefacts that comprise paintings, sculptures, documents, and relics that document the history of Italy, each an inspiration to the Valextra atelier that features its own archive of Italian icons.
"For me, Milan is a city of contrasts, some love it, some hate it, but it’s undeniably a place where you can achieve your dreams. Even if you weren’t born here, Milan embraces you if you embrace it. Its diverse community means you see faces like yours and find representation. Here, you can feel at home and a part of a vibrant, supportive community. Milan certainly means fashion, art, culture, creativity, and memories for some, but it can be home for everyone."

Inside The Palazzo
Since 1951, the Palazzo Moriggia has hosted a historical archive that features works once belonging to Carlo Cattaneo, Cesare Correnti, and Agostino Bertani, in addition to an extensive library with over 130,000 volumes, and a Museo del Risorgimento, refurbished in 2011 on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the Unification of Italy.
