Excerpt (in translation): Neo-Renaissance palace with diamond-point ashlars, built for Count Francesco Turati, next to the much more famous one (now the seat of the Chamber of Commerce) of his brother Ercole, both exponents of the nineteenth-century cotton industry. It is spread over an almost rectangular area with the longer side of c. 60 m. overlooking Via Meravigli. The faēade has friezes and frames in Molera stone from the Gotthard and mambro Nembro roofing. The large central courtyard is surrounded by porticoes on granite columns, with valuable capitals and vaults in the traditional Lombard style.
