The Sarfatti Building (Italian: Edificio Sarfatti ) is an office and educational building on the Bocconi University campus in Milan, Italy at Via Sarfatti 25.[1][2]
History
The construction of the building, designed by Italian architect Giuseppe Pagano and his associate Gian Giacomo Predaval, commenced in 1937. The inauguration was held on December 21, 1941.[3] The structure was the first built and corresponds to the original nucleus of the Bocconi University campus after its seat was moved from a palazzo in largo Treves in Milan.[4][5]
Description
The building is considered one of the finest works of Italian Rationalist architecture.[6]
It features a cross-shaped plan, probabibly inspired from Walter Gropius' Bauhaus Dessau (1925-1926).[6] Two lion statues, created by sculptor Arturo Martini done in medieval style preside over the interior of building's main entrance hallway.[7] Below the porch alongside via Sarfatti some bas-reliefs by Leone Todi can be found.
