Palazzo Dugnani

In 1835. with the death of Teresa Dugnani Viani, the property was inherited by Count Giovanni Vimercati.

The collections are now stored in the nearby Civic Museum of Natural History also along the gardens of this palace on Corso Venezia.

[1] Circa 1731, Count Giuseppe Casati (1673-1740) had commissioned frescoes from Tiepolo, then working on Palazzo Archinto.

The Count also engaged the services of Cucchi, Magatti, Bortoloni, Ferdinando Porta to work along and under Tiepolo.

The frescoes are putatively events related to the History of Scipio Africanus as recounted by Livy.
