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.

The works range from the Lombardy school of the 18^th and 19^th century to the still life of the 185^th century, landscapes of 19^th century, fine images of Lecco by Massimo Taparelli d’Azeglio (1798-1866), son-in-law of Alessandro Manzoni, Carlo Pizzi (1842-1909) and Giovanni Battista Todeschini (1857-1938).

On the first floor of Villa Manzoni you may visit the Manzonian Museum thanks to the unique entrance ticket.
