Casa degli Omenoni is a historic palace of Milan, northern Italy, located in the eponymous street of Via degli Omenoni. It was designed by sculptor Leone Leoni for himself; he both lived and worked there. It owes its name to the eight atlantes decorating its facade, termed "omenoni", which were sculpted by Antonio Abondio, most probably on a design by Leoni. Lions are a recurring theme of its decorations; in particular, a large relief placed under the cornice depicts two lions tearing a satyr into pieces. The overall style of the palace and the decorations have been noted to include several references to the art of Michelangelo. The internal courtyard, modified in 1929 by Piero Portaluppi, has a colonnade with metopes and triglyphs.

The imperial mausoleum of San Vittore al Corpo was a circular funerary monument in the Roman city of Mediolanum. Built towards the end of the fourth century at the time when Mediolanum was the capital of the Western Roman Empire and located outside the Roman walls of Milan near the Roman Porta Vercellina, it probably housed the tombs of the family of Emperor Valentinian. According to medieval episcopal lists, the bodies of the first Milanese bishops Mirocle (313-314) and Protasio (343-344) were also laid inside the imperial mausoleum. Transformed into the chapel of San Gregorio between the ninth and tenth centuries and annexed to the church of San Vittore al Corpo, the mausoleum was demolished in the sixteenth century on the occasion of the late-sixteenth-century reconstruction of the aforementioned Christian church.

The church and monastery of San Vittore al Corpo were an ancient monastery of the Olivetan order built in the early 16th century. The site was once a fourth century Roman imperial mausoleum of Maximian, that may also have held the burials of the emperors Gratian and Valentinian II, though they were more likely buried in another mausoleum, now the Chapel of Saint Aquilinus in the Basilica of Saint Lawrence. The basilica was enlarged in the 8th century to house the relics of the saints Vittore and Satiro. A Benedictine monastery soon was attached to the church. In 1507, the monastery was transferred to the Olivetans, who began a major reconstruction. Reconstruction of the church was begun in 1533 by Vincenzo Seregni, and completed in 1568 by Pellegrino Tibaldi. The façade remains incomplete. The dome was frescoed in 1617 by Guglielmo Caccia. In the chapel of St Anthony is a 1619 canvas by Daniele Crespi. In the transept on the left, is an early 17th-century cycle of canvases of the Stories of San Benedetto, by Ambrogio Figino while the right transept has three altarpieces by Camillo Procaccini. Other chapels have paintings by Pompeo Batoni and Giovanni Battista Discepoli.
