Originally, this architectural gem was situated in the heart of Milan, on the vast gardens of the Sant Agostino Neri monastery. After Count Arese's passing, the palazzo was sold to the Bethlen family from Hungary. With its prime location and expansive gardens, the property was eventually divided and sold to different developers.
Over time, the palazzo was transformed into smaller apartments, losing its grandeur. Sadly, during World War II, Milan suffered severe bombing, and although only the central part of the building was damaged, it was enough for developers to demolish the entire structure.
Though Palazzo Arese-Bethlen may no longer grace Milan's skyline, its legacy lives on in the memories of those who had the opportunity to see its splendor.
