n the course of his long life Alessandro Manzoni lived in many different properties, but the only house that may truly be considered his own is the one located in Via Morone 1, Milan<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

After his marriage to Enrichetta Blondel, and the birth of Giulietta, in 1810 the Manzoni family found a temporary home in Via San Vito al Carobbio no. 3883, and then in the Palazzo Beccaria in Via Brera: here, where Giulia had been born, the second son Pietro was born on 21 July 1813.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the desire for a stable home in Milan and a large family, Alessandro decided to buy a palace in contrada del Morone on the corner with piazza Belgioioso. The palazzo, owned by Don Alberico de Felber, was purchased on 2 October 1813 for 107,000 lire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among the winning reasons for the choice of the De Felber house was its location in the centre of the city, a centrality that made it possible to combine the needs of the scholar with the need to see his friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many works were carried out over the years, the house took shape for the needs of a family of 12 members with their servants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manzoni, in this palace full of rooms, had one reserved overlooking the garden, to meditate, write and receive his illustrious guests and close friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the death of Enrichetta in 1833 and the premature death of Giulietta, when he was only 26 years old, Manzoni entered a dark, gloomy period from which he struggled to emerge and his mind became inactive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was only after his marriage to Teresa Borri Stampa in 1837 that some happiness returned, which unfortunately did not last long due to the death of their twins. One was stillborn, the other followed a few hours later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only two of his children survived them, and in that place where Manzoni loved to meet people, he now only awaited death, which arrived on 22 May 1873.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The house was put up for sale by the heirs and was bought by Count Bernardo Arnaboldi Gazzaniga, who, respectful of Manzoni’s memories, allowed the studio and bedroom to be visited on the anniversary of the \u2018Illustre Defunto\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1919 the house passed to Attilio Villa and in 1922 to the Dubini brothers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1937, it became the property of the Cassa di Risparmio delle Provincie Lombarde, which donated it to the Municipality of Milan on condition that it was destined for perpetual and exclusive use by the Centro Nazionale Studi Manzoniani.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On 20 March 1941, the building was passed from the Centre to the City of Milan. However, the Centre found the house partly altered by successive ownerships, which had changed the distribution and destination of the rooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under the guidance of the then conservator Marino Parenti, restoration work was begun to restore the house to the condition it was in when Manzoni died.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The restoration work was interrupted due to the Second World War; it was resumed and completed in the 1960s and on 15 December 1965, the Manzoni Museum was inaugurated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fifty years later, a new renovation has been completed thanks to the support of Intesa Sanpaolo, with the intention not only to offer visitors a wider exhibition itinerary, but also to make Casa Manzoni an even more lively cultural centre open to scholars and the entire citizenry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dopo il matrimonio con Enrichetta Blondel, e la nascita di Giulietta, nel 1810 la famiglia Manzoni trova una provvisoria sistemazione in via San Vito al Carobbio n.3883, e poi nel palazzo Beccaria di via Brera: qui, dove era nata Giulia, il 21 luglio 1813 nacque il secondogenito Pietro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Con il desiderio di una dimora stabile in Milano,e di una famiglia numerosa, Alessandro decise di  acquistare un palazzo in contrada del Morone all\u2019angolo con piazza Belgioioso. Il palazzo, di propriet\u00e0 di don Alberico de Felber, fu acquistato il 2 ottobre 1813 al prezzo di L. 107.000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tra le ragioni vincenti per la scelta della casa De Felber vi era la sua collocazione al centro della citt\u00e0, una centralit\u00e0 che permetteva di unire le esigenze dello studioso alle istanze affettive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vennero eseguiti molti lavori negli anni, la casa prendeva forma per le esigenze di una famiglia di 12 membri con la rispettiva servit\u00f9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manzoni, in questo palazzo ricco di stanze, ne ebbe riservata una che guardava sul giardino, per meditare, scrivere, ricevere i suoi ospiti illustri e amici intimi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Con la morte di Enrichetta nel 1833 e quella prematura di Giulietta, a soli 26 anni, Manzoni entra in un periodo cupo, buio dal quale fatica ad uscire e la sua mente diventa inoperosa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solo dopo il matrimonio con Teresa Borri Stampa, nel 1837, torna un po\u2019 di felicit\u00e0 che purtroppo non dur\u00f2 molto a causa della morte delle loro gemelle. Una nacque morta, l\u2019altra la segu\u00ec dopo poche ore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solo due dei suoi figli li sopravvissero, e in quel luogo dove Manzoni amava incontrare le persone, ormai attendeva solo la morte che arriv\u00f2 il 22 maggio del 1873.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La casa venne messa in vendita dagli eredi e fu acquistata dal conte Bernardo Arnaboldi Gazzaniga, il quale, rispettoso delle memorie manzoniane, permise la visita allo studio e alla camera da letto nell\u2019anniversario dell\u2019\u00abIllustre Defunto\u00bb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nel 1919 la casa pass\u00f2 ad Attilio Villa e nel 1922 ai fratelli Dubini.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nel 1937 divenne propriet\u00e0 della Cassa di Risparmio delle Provincie Lombarde che la don\u00f2 al Comune di Milano purch\u00e9 fosse destinata in uso perpetuo ed esclusivo al Centro Nazionale Studi Manzoniani.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Il 20 marzo 1941 il palazzo venne passato dal Centro, in propriet\u00e0 al Comune di Milano. Il Centro trov\u00f2 per\u00f2 la casa in parte alterata dalle successive propriet\u00e0, che avevano modificato la distribuzione e la destinazione dei locali.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sotto la guida dell\u2019allora conservatore Marino Parenti vennero avviati i lavori di ripristino per riportare la casa nelle condizioni in cui si trovava alla morte di Manzoni.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I lavori di restauro vennero interrotti a causa della Seconda guerra Mondiale; furono ripresi e completati negli anni \u201960 ed il 15 dicembre 1965, venne inaugurato il Museo Manzoniano.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cinquant\u2019anni dopo una nuova opera di ristrutturazione \u00e8 stata completata grazie al sostegno di Intesa Sanpaolo, con l\u2019intenzione non solo di offrire ai visitatori un percorso espositivo pi\u00f9 ampio, ma anche di rendere Casa Manzoni un ancor pi\u00f9 vivace polo culturale aperto agli studiosi e all\u2019intera cittadinanza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
