ROYAL WAITING ROOM

saletta reale d'attesa

REAL HALL OF WAITING PRESSED AT MONZA RAILWAY STATION
Saturday, September 20 and Sunday, September 21
from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. guided tours by appointment - maximum visit duration 15 minutes
A 19th-century neoclassical jewel built to accommodate the Savoy royal family.
The Saletta was built between 1882 and 1884, and is a small jewel of Lombard art. Intended to be used as a waiting room for the royal family, it was used by the sovereigns until August 8, 1900, when, after the July 29 regicide in Monza, it was from here that the King's body was transported to Rome. In the small room, the Neoclassical style takes center stage and time seems to stand still, thanks to the period furnishings and the allegory of the Genius of the Savoy family that adorns the ceiling.
The spaces, luxurious furnishings, upholstery and paintings that embellish the rooms contribute to the structure's majestic and sumptuous appearance, making it a true museum that the FS Foundation now preserves and manages.

CHAPTER LIBRARY OF THE CATHEDRAL OF MONZA

BIBLIOTECA CAPITOLARE

The Capitular Library of the Cathedral of Monza preserves a very rich patrimony of over 1000 volumes including manuscript codices, incunabula, cinquecentine, diplomas, parchments and printed volumes.

ROYAL EXPIATORY CHAPEL

CAPPELLA ESPIATORIA

The monument was commissioned by Victor Emmanuel III in memory of the assassination of his father Umberto I on July 29, 1900 at the hands of the anarchist G. Bresci.

The design was drawn up by arch. G. Sacconi and completed after his death (1905) with substantial modifications by arch. G. Cirilli. The mausoleum, completed in July 1910, is characterized by a monumental staircase leading to the chapel, above which rises a structure, enriched by L. Pogliaghi's bronze Pietà. A terrace leads from the chapel to a secondary staircase leading to the crypt, decorated with mosaics, in which some 180 bronze votive wreaths are kept.
In the central vault is placed an alabaster disk below a black marble memorial stone at the spot where the king was assassinated. Crowning the memorial is a garden concluded by a mosaic exedra. Framing the memorial are gates designed by artist A. Mazzucotelli, which connect it to the two side access propylaea. The symmetrical composition is strengthened by the road axis, flanked by two large garden areas, which accompanies the visitor and frames the monumental complex from afar.

The visit will take place compatibly with the ongoing restoration works

VIMERCATI HAT FACTORY

CAPPELLIFICIO VIMERCATI

Hat-making experienced a great increase in Monza between the 1800s and 1900s, so much so that it became one of the city's main manufacturing activities.
A visit to the cappellificio Vimercati, founded in 1953, will allow you to go back in time, venturing into the history of this artisan excellence.

CANESI HOUSE

CASA CANESI

In the first half of the nineteenth century the Canesi family-Giovanni Battista and his wife Giulia Veronelli-came to live in Monza, at via Carlo Alberto 11: their three children were born here.
To the two-story house is attached a wide garden designed by the architect. Villoresi, one of the most important gardeners of the Park. Giovanni Battista is the founder of the Cotonificio of the same name, which will expand to five hundred employees with his son Ernesto. Historical and autobiographical references are taken from the book Diario di Nonna Giulia "by Carla M. Casanova ed. viennepierre, 2008. Grandmother Giulia (1867-1936) who writes the diary about all the events of the Canesi family is Ernesto's wife. Spiritual director of the women of the Canesi family is Monsignor Talamoni.

On the night between December 31, 1898 and January 1, 1899, new electric light fixtures were illuminated in Monza; there were 80 bulbs placed in the city, the first being lit in the cavern of the Canesi family's front door at 11 Via Carlo Alberto.

COMPLEX OF SAN GERARDINO

SAN GERARDINO

Contemporaneously with the National Day of Historical Hospitals called by the Cultural Association of Historical Italian Hospitals, IRCCS San Gerardo dei Tintori with the collaboration of the FAI Delegation of Monza offers the following program:

Cultural Visits to the Church and Complex of San Gerardino in Monza

The Complex of San Gerardino stands on the site where in 1174 St. Gerard founded the hospice for the poor sick, adapting his own home. The architectural structure consists of a main body with double loggia, inner courts and oratory, originally dedicated to St. Gerard Inframurano, now St. Gerardino.

The church was erected between the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries and was renovated, with the entire complex, in Baroque forms in 1776; inside the church is a valuable Annunciation attributed to Bernardino Luini, also on the ground floor of the old hospital is preserved the pictorial cycle dating from the eighteenth century with the Stories of the Life and Miracles of St. Gerard, a work attributed to Giovanni Maria Gariboldi.

COMPLEX OF SANTA MARIA AL CARROBIOLO

THE LONGOBARD TOWER IN THE CATHEDRAL OF MONZA

TORRE LONGOBARDA

Next to the northern transept and the sacristy is the oldest part of the structures that make up the present cathedral of Monza: the "Longobard Tower," a probable defensive element of the palace that Queen Theodolinda had built in the sixth century next to the oraculum dedicated to St. John the Baptist. The tower, used since the 9th century as a bell tower, was incorporated into the Gothic basilica and partly reduced to make way for the present Chapel of Theodolinda at the end of the 14th century.
