Palazzo Bricherasio

The building, built in 1636, belongs, ca. 1760, to the Solaro of Monasterolo, who commissioned to the architect Carlo Emanuele Bovis some transformations.

Palazzo Bricherasio

To those years belong the big staircase (later decorated with paintings of the 19th century), the hall with columns, which now has partly disappeared, two rooms and a boudoir with 17th century decors.

In 1855 it was bought by the Cacherano of Bricherasio, who cured the interior embellishment according to an eclectic taste that melt itself with the pre-existent ones.
For some environments there is the work of the painter Rodolfo Morgari, while, in the courtyard, Barnaba Panizza realised in 1863 a porticoed terrace against the body towards via Lagrange.

In the occasion of the renewal of via Roma (1936) some parts of the building were demolished; those parts were not congruent with the urban transformations, and the façade on via Teofilo Rossi was rebuilt on a project by Annibale Rigotti.

Restored starting from 1990, it is now seat of the Palazzo Bricherasio Foundation and it hosts contemporary art exhibitions.
