This is a fascinating collection of documents, providing living testimony of important historical events in the city, and long-lost habits and customs from the Longobard epoch to contemporary times.

The archive includes documents from the Sforza’s Dukedom, the Spanish and Austrian rules, and from the Risorgimento period in which Italy conquered its unity.

The interiors include a study room for the consultation of documents, a mediathèque, and a computer room for consulting digital archives and microfilmed documents. Small events and exhibitions are organized in the library.

All this is part of an extensive architectural complex with large internal courts, a perfect setting for the wealth of documents and historic records that it contains in conditions of meticulously supervised conservation. www.turismo.milano.it/
