The seat of government in the city was originally the Royal Palace of Milan, where the municipal institutions were located. It became a noble residence during the rule of the Torriane and Visconti families, who gave it its shape that can in part still be seen, based on a system of two courtyards. Partially demolished to make way for the Cathedral nave, the building was refurbished after 1452 by Francesco Sforza. Used as the seat of power by the Spanish rulers, it underwent substantial modifications until the late 18th Century, in particular, the extensive work by Giuseppe Piermarini. Alongside the volumes of the Palazzo there is the Arengario, seat of the Palazzo del Turismo, with its two pavilions designed in 1939 (and completed in 1956) by the architects Enrico Agostino Griffini, Pier Giulio Magistretti, Giovanni Muzio and Piero Portaluppi. A feature of interest - on the first floor of the Palazzo, there is the famous 'Sala delle Cariatidi', in the location of the ancient theater destroyed by fire in 1776. This hall is now undergoing restoration.

The building of the private Luigi Bocconi university was designed between 1937-41 by architect Giuseppe Pagano with Gian Giacomo Predeval. Inspired by the plan for the Bauhaus school by Walter Gropius, it is one of the buildings in Milan most influenced by European rationalism. The complex, to which many additions were made after WW2, occupies the entire block between via Sarfatti and via Toniolo. It is in the shape of a cross: the arms are used for services and connections, while the ends provide office space and classrooms. The open arrangement of the various sections, the connections between the volumes and the white surfaces marked at regular intervals by square windows lined with lythoceramic tiles divide up the rooms of the university through rational architecture conceived by Pagano as "service" and as an answer to concrete needs.
