Palazzo del Banco di Sicilia is a historic building located in Milan, Italy.
The building, designed by architect Carlo Polli, was constructed in 1930 after demolishing a pre-existing structure, to serve as the Milan headquarters of Banco di Sicilia. The competition notice, published in 1927, explicitly required an architecture "of a perfectly Italian style," in line with the cultural and political directives of the Fascist era.[1][2] Polli complied with these guidelines by adopting a classicist language, drawing on forms and proportions from the Italian architectural tradition.[2]
More recently, the property was acquired by a fund managed by Kryalos and later underwent renovation works between 2016 and 2018.[3] In 2019, the building was sold for €102.5 million to a fund subscribed by a club of investors organized by Mediobanca.[3][4]
