The Museum of the Risorgimento in Milan is an exhibition space created in 1886 and dedicated to the Risorgimento period. The Risorgimento seen up close: the battles, the faces, the fashions of the period told through 16 rooms of Palazzo Moriggia, designed in 1776 by Giuseppe Piermarini near the buildings of Brera. Key events kept alive by paintings such as Garibaldi’s portraits, valuable relics such as Napoleon’s cloak, the first tricolor and the red shirts of the expedition of the Thousand.
Not only: medals, prints, sculptures and antique weapons of all kinds, book and archive collections dating back to the 18th century satisfy all curiosity and an insatiable passion for the past.
There are also temporary exhibitions, the Library, with over 120 thousand volumes from 1748 to the present day, and the Archive of the Civic Historical Collections.
