Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei headquarters
FEEMs headquarters are located in Milan, in an aisle of Palazzo delle Stelline, a former XV Century monastery (the site of the Benedettine of Santa Maria della Stella) fully restored in 1998.
The Palace is located in Corso Magenta, the heart of Milanese elegance. Opposite the Palace is one of the most beautiful churches in Milan, Santa Maria delle Grazie, of great renaissance memories and hosting the Cenacolo; one of the most impressive frescos by Leonardo da Vinci.

The staircase of the former convent of Saint Chiara, University of Brescia.
The building complex, which from the 12th to the 19th century hosted female Franciscan convent communities, was rebuilt in the second half of the 17th century by Lazzaro Bracchi. Then, designed by Ascanio Girelli in 1756, the majestic staircase was built at the center of that complex. In the central niche we find the marble sculpture of Saint Chiara, attributed to Antonio Calegari (1699-1777).
