Originally home to the Visconti family, the palazzo was acquired in 1653 by the Clerici family. Ferdinand of Austria, representative in Milano of the Austrian empress Maria Theresa, resided here 1772 - 1778. In 1813 it was sold to the Kingdom of Italy and became the kingdom’s Treasury. From 1871 to 1940 the building housed the Court of Appeals.
Splendid testimony to 18th-century Milanese architecture, Palazzo Clerici is also home to important works of art. There’s the Galleria del Tiepolo, for example, which depicts the Sun Chariot’s race across the sky and the four continents known to Western man in that epoch (Africa, the Americas, Asia and Europa). Palazzo Clerici has served as headquarters for Studies on International Policy since 1941, the entity which since that time has worked to safeguard and promote this historical palazzo.
