    Manzoni, Italy’s greatest 19th-century writer (see I Promessi Sposi (The Betrothed)), lived in this Neo-Classical palazzo , now a museum of “Manzoniana”.

  • This massive complex – originally a hospital, now part of the University of Milan – took 400 years to complete.

  • Founded in 1336 as a chapel for the town hall.
