The monumental entrance portal of Barni Palace consists of a couple of ionic marble columns over moulded plinths with rear pilasters from which a rounded arch spreads out. Over the capitals two shelves decorated with leaves of acanthus,  support the balcony at the first floor.

The Laudense Library is located in the historical centre of Lodi and it safeguards the charming Library of the confraternity of the Filippini.
The aim of the renovation was to increase the value of the place, making it welcoming and functional, and  blending the aesthetic characteristics with the materials used, thus transforming the library spaces into a fascinating spot.
