Casa degli Omenoni is a historic 16th-century palace located at Via degli Omenoni 3 in Milan, Italy, just steps from Piazza della Scala and the San Fedele church. Built around 1565 by the sculptor Leone Leoni as his private residence and studio, the building is renowned for the eight massive stone figures—called telamons or “omenoni” (meaning “big men” or “giants” in the Milanese dialect)—adorn its dramatic façade. These monumental statues, sculpted by Antonio Abondio, likely represent defeated barbarian warriors and were inspired by classical Roman statuary as well as the works of Michelangelo, a friend of Leoni.
