Formerly owned by the noble Lodi-Mora family, the palace was built in the second half of the 17th century by merging several important pre-existing residences, at the behest of cavaliere Gian Battista Lodi and his son Pietro Antonio II.

The exterior features simple exposed brickwork, giving it a sober and austere appearance that contrasts sharply with the interior, which is richly decorated with stucco, quadrature and paintings (attributed to Francesco Boccaccino and Giuseppe Natali). Two unusual architectural elements characterise the building: a cylindrical turret in the right-hand corner of the façade and another cylindrical turret, which is taller.

The central door leads to a portico with Doric columns and an overhanging gallery that leads to the double staircase of honour, richly decorated in the vault with a valuable painting, “Aurora che lascia Pittone per correr dietro a Zeffiro”.
