Monument of Manzoni, Bronze statue in Piazza Manzoni, Lecco, Italy.
The 280-centimeter bronze monument depicts Alessandro Manzoni in a meditative posture, with four relief panels on its granite base illustrating scenes from The Betrothed.
The monument, inaugurated on October 11, 1891, emerged from a civic initiative following Manzoni's death in 1873, with Francesco Confalonieri selected as the sculptor.
The statue stands as a centerpiece of Lecco's literary heritage, connecting visitors to the settings and characters of The Betrothed, Manzoni's influential novel.
Visitors can reach the monument by following the signs to Piazza Manzoni in Lecco's center, where numerous restaurants and shops provide services.
The monument's granite base contains inscriptions and the coats of arms of both the Kingdom of Italy and Lecco municipality, framed by laurel wreaths.
