Lonely Planet review for Palazzo Reale

Empress Maria Theresa’s favourite architect Giuseppe Piermarini gave this old town hall and Visconti palace a neoclassical overhaul in the late 18th century. Its supremely elegant interiors were all but destroyed by WWII bombs; the Sala delle Cariatidi remains unrenovated as a grim reminder of war’s indiscriminate destruction. The palazzo has a small permanent art collection, but brings in the crowds with blockbuster shows from artists as diverse as Balla, Bacon and Vivienne Westwood.
