Monastero della Visitazione, Architectural ensemble and monastery in Quadronno District, Milan, Italy.

Monastero della Visitazione is an architectural complex in Milan's Quadronno district that combines the work of multiple master builders into a unified structure. The ensemble includes a church, cloister, and residential quarters arranged around a central courtyard.

The monastery was founded in 1713, and Visitandine nuns lived there without interruption until the last sisters left in November 2017. In earlier centuries it also ran a boarding school for daughters of noble Milanese families; Manzoni's daughter is said to have attended. Its art holdings include a Madonna and Child of 1500 and a Crucifixion by Titian.

The monastery was also a boarding school for daughters of noble Milanese families; Alessandro Manzoni's daughter is said to have attended. The community lived here continuously from the 1713 foundation until the last nuns left in November 2017.

The monastery stands at Via Santa Sofia in Milan, not Via San Calimero. The last nuns left in November 2017, so it is no longer an active religious community. The church and cloister are not open for regular visits; the artworks, including Titian's Crucifixion, are inside a closed complex.

The monastery's art collection includes a Madonna and Child Blessing known as the "Divina Pietà", painted in 1500 by a Lombard or Piedmontese Renaissance artist, and a Crucifixion by Titian. The complex stands on Via Santa Sofia, not Via San Calimero.
