Casa del Manzoni Museum, Northeast Milan
19th-century townhouse, home of writer Alessandro Manzoni
Alessandro Mazoni, the famous literate and author of "I Promessi Sposi" or "The Betrothed", lived in this house from 1814 until 1873. It has been restored to show how it must have been when Manzoni died in 1873.
Andrea Boni is responsible for its façade which is a mixed 19th-century style. Inside, it houses a museum dedicated to Manzoni, including well-preserved rooms, paintings, illustrated books and his studio.
The exhibition and house were fully renovated in 2015. The house also contains the National Centre for Manzoni Studies and the Lombard Historical Society Library.
When to come
The house is open Tuesday to Friday from 10:00 to 18:00, and Saturday from 14:00 to 18:00.
