Indubitably the masterpiece of the Milanese artist Alfredo Campanini. Even if the architecture is quite simple and it recalls somewhat some production of Giuseppe Sommaruga in Milano too, this building is quite impressive due to the outstanding decorations. Putti on the façade seem to dance around the two huge central figure at the main entrance. Every single detail was conceived by the architect and realized by well known artist such as Mazzucotelli for the irons. Quite unusual the glasses for the window, realized with a concave effect.

Interior are also fully decorated and every detail is minutely conceived and realized. A typical example of Milanese Art Nouveau (Liberty) style, where the traditional design of the architectural structure of the building is mitigated by the abundance of decorations and details.
