The Magazzini Contratti is a historic commercial building in Milan, Italy.
History
[edit]Construction works started in 1903. The building was designed by architect Luigi Broggi, who designed several other notable buildings in the area surrounding Piazza Cordusio.[1][2]
Description
[edit]The building is located in the centre of Milan, and is adjacent to the Palazzo del Credito Italiano. Realized in the new stile moderno or Art Nouveau style, it features a reinforced concrete structure. This technique, highly innovative at the time of construction, allowed for the presence of large windows on the façade interspersed by ornate cast-iron columns.[3]
