Where exactly is the statue located:

In the spring of 1807, Minister Charles-Jean-Marie Alquier, French ambassador in Rome, by order of Prince Eugene de Beauharnais, viceroy of the Kingdom of Italy and stepson of Napoleon, commissioned Canova, for the sum of five thousand French louis, to make an exact bronze copy of the marble statue. The statue found a place only in 1859, when it was placed in the center of the courtyard of honor of the Brera Palace, on the occasion of Napoleon III's visit to Milan.

Here's where the courtyard is located:

The courtyard, like the entire building, dates back to the first half of the 17th century and was originally built as a cloister for the monastery of Santa Maria di Brera, governed by the Jesuit order, until the religious institute was suppressed and made property of the state, which transformed the building into the headquarters of the new academy of fine arts and art gallery.

Rolli Palaces: Gio Vincenzo Imperiale Palace

Palazzi dei Rolli: Palazzo Gio Vincenzo Imperiale.
After many times when, during the Rolli week, I was away from home, this year I managed to see at least one.
Built by Doge Gio Vincenzo Imperiale, it was, together with the Imperial Villa of Sampierdarena, a jewel in Genoa's crown.
This is the splendid entrance courtyard (with the ceiling now closed by some panels) between columns, stairs and black and white checkered floors.

Vero e proprio capolavoro dell’architettura civile fiorentina del Rinascimento, fu iniziato per volere di Filippo Strozzi, un ricco mercante appartenente a una delle famiglie più facoltose di Firenze, per tradizione ostile alla fazione dei Medici.
