Monument to Alessandro Manzoni, Bronze memorial in Piazza San Fedele, Milan, Italy.
The bronze monument features Alessandro Manzoni standing in a contemplative pose while holding Virgil's Georgics, measuring 167 centimeters in height.
The Milan City Council approved the monument's construction in 1878, and sculptor Francesco Barzaghi completed the work for its inauguration in 1883.
The memorial stands near San Fedele Church, where Manzoni sustained injuries from a fall that led to his death on May 22, 1873.
The statue consists of 88 parts copper and 12 parts tin, weighing 18 tons, and was cast at the Barigozzi-Barzaghi foundry in Milan.
The monument's orientation was specifically adjusted to maintain clear views of the church entrance rather than aligning directly with the building.
