Casa degli Omenoni

MonumentLocal favourite

The house of sculptor Leone Leoni, remodelled from 1565, with eight giant stone telamons of defeated barbarians (the 'omenoni', big men) on the facade, carved by Antonio Abondio. Leoni's collection included Leonardo's Codex Atlanticus, now at the Ambrosiana. It is in a side street behind San Fedele that visitors from La Scala rarely take.
