Tailor's house, Historic building in Chiuso, Lecco, Italy

The Casa del Sarto is a 17th-century stone building in the Chiuso district of Lecco, with a stone portal. It has been restored and now operates as an extra-hotel accommodation called La Casa del Sarto – Rooms & Apartments, offering rooms and apartments for short stays.

Built around 1600, this house became known through its connection to a celebrated novel set in the region. The structure reflects rural building practices from that era in the Lecco area.

Manzoni names the tailor's house in chapter XXIV of I promessi sposi, when Lucia Mondella is freed from the Innominato's castle and taken to the village of Chiuso. The tailor's wife shelters her there, and Lucia is reunited with her mother Agnese. The house also appears in the first draft, Fermo e Lucia.

The house is easy to find at the street corner and visible from both sides. You can view the exterior stonework and details from the sidewalk without disturbing the current residents.

Manzoni named the small Chiuso block in the first draft of the novel, Fermo e Lucia, and the district still keeps the features he described. The house itself was later renovated and turned into short-stay rooms and apartments called La Casa del Sarto - Rooms & Apartments.
