Museum of the Risorgimento Museum

The museum was founded in 1878, shortly after Italian unification, although its first permanent display was not until 1908. Originally located in the Mole Antonelliana, it was relocated to its current location in 1938. (which had previously housed the Subalpine Chamber of Deputies, from 1848 to 1860, and then the first Italian Chamber of Deputies, from 1861 to 1865).

This modest specialty museum, housed in a stately townhouse in the heart of Milan's historic center, focuses on the birth of Italy as a nation, often known as the Risorgimento. The permanent collection, which includes prints, paintings, sculptures, weaponry, and various souvenirs, chronicles key events from Napoleon Bonaparte's first expedition to Italian territory (1796) until the Kingdom of Italy's capture of Rome (1870). The book not only provides an excellent summary of modern Italian political history, but it also provides deep insights into Lombardy and Milan, touching on period fashions, crucial conflicts, key individuals, and art. There is no admission fee.
