As part of the Fuorisalone programme, the maison Giorgio Armani will open its headquarters since 1996 – Palazzo Orsini, in via Borgonuovo 11, near Brera – to present its new outdoor collection in its main courtyard, with Tuscan columns combined.

Palazzo Orsini is one of the most prestigious noble buildings in Milan. Built, and never finished, in the mid-seventeenth century by Secco-Borella family, it owes its current name to the Orsini marquises, who settled there in 1662. The house was then given to the princes Pio, then Falcò-Pio, of Spanish origin, who remained until 1918 and to whom we owe the current neoclassical facade, designed by Luigi Clerichetti in the mid-nineteenth century. The interiors created by Luigi Canonica and frescoed by Andrea Appiani with the motif of “Triumphant Love” are instead of late eighteenth century.

On the noble floor, also open to the public, there is the atelier of the Giorgio Armani Privé Haute Couture collection.
