Casa di Lucia Mondella, Rural house in Olate, Lecco, Italy

Casa di Lucia Mondella is a two-story rural building with wooden balconies and exterior stairs located in Lecco. A traditional courtyard marks the entrance area and gives the house its distinctive layout.

The house became famous through Alessandro Manzoni's novel 'I Promessi Sposi', where it represents the home of the character Lucia Mondella in the 1600s. This connection to the classic work established it as an important site in Italian literary history.

The fresco above the entrance portal depicts the Annunciation and dates to the 16th century. It is painted on the Olate house that scholars of Manzoni's topography consider the most reliable residence of Lucia Mondella, though a rival traditional house stands in Acquate.

The Olate house is a private residence and cannot be visited inside; when the entrance door stands open, the front courtyard can be seen from the street. The rival traditional house in Acquate, on Via Lucia, houses an osteria open only to its customers. From that courtyard the Zucco hill is visible, where Don Rodrigo's Palazzotto once stood.

The house competes with another building in Acquate for the claim of being Lucia's actual residence. Both locations existed as separate settlements during the novel's time period and had different names in that era.
