Manzonian places

“A country that I would call one of the most beautiful in th world“, in this way Alessandro Manzoni defines our beautiful Lecco.

This town, once upon a time a village, has been the source of inspiration for the drafting of the one of the world’s best known novels: The Betrothed, the tormented love story between the young Renzo and Lucia, set in the districts of Lecco and surrounding areas in the seventeenth century, when Lecco was under Spanish domination.

Manzoni used to spend his summer vacation at Villa Manzoni in Lecco and the time spent in Lecco allowed him to appreciate and be impressed by the beautiful natural resources of the area and with excellent mastery and style painted them in the novel. The reader becomes the protagonist of the story, as if he was really present in the places where the events occurred.

From imagination to reality, experience the love story visiting the places Manzoni described. Take a step back in time and be carried away by feelings, to be protagonists in today’s Lecco of the timeless novel.
