Villa Manzoni in Lecco hosts a collection of paintings and engravings dated back to the 18th up to 20th century.

The Civic Art Gallery is located on the second floor of Villa Manzoni in Lecco and hosts a selection of works belonging to the Civic Museums of Lecco and counts four hundreds paintings and two thousands engravings, divided chronologically in thematic rooms.
A very interesting feature is that each painting has its coeval frame.
