Palazzo Berri Meregalli is a magnificent example of eclecticism. Built in 1913 byarchitect Giulio Ulisse Arata, the structure combines a powerful structure withgracious and elegant decorations. A fusion of many different materials, fromglass to metal, from stone to brick and mosaic tiles, a weave of forms that gothrough the centuries, from Romanesque to Gothic, from the Renaissance toLiberty. The building surprises and captures us with special light and shadowtricks given by the hollows and ledges of its structure, a phenomenon that isparticularly noticeable in the early hours of the morning or in the dim lightof dusk.
The entrancehall hosts the Vittoria Alata (i.e."WingedVictory") by Adolfo Wildt, sculptor, decorator and medalist, a master inthe history of Italian art. A short walk away from this building, there is Cà dell'Oreggia (i.e. “House of the Ear”),whose intercom is shaped in a large bronze ear, always by Wildt.
A melting potof styles, embellishments and volumes, combined skillfully and without anyprejudices by Arata and by his many collaborators, because both in art and inlife if you let yourself intrigue by new and unconventional roads, you canreach beauty.
