Palazzo Morando Attendolo Bolognini
On the first floor is currently housed the Art Gallery: a collection of paintings, sculptures, prints that originated in 1934 from the acquisition by the Municipality of the Luigi Beretta collection and bears witness to the urban and social evolution of Milan between the second half of the 17th century and the early 19th century.
In the adjoining rooms, the representative halls of the noble house have been rearranged, a suggestive path that exemplarily documents the 18th-century taste for domestic furnishings, through a core of decorations, furniture and objects recently reassembled in their original appearance with a thorough recovery activity of a heritage over time dispersed in various deposits outside the palace.
In January 2010, the new arrangement of Palazzo Morando was inaugurated aimed at giving new visibility to the extraordinary artistic heritage of the Museum of Milan and to the historical heritage of the Applied Arts Collections which constitute a cornerstone of the municipal historical and artistic collections.
The interventions carried out have in fact enhanced, as well as the textile heritage of the Historical Collections, also the collections of clothes, accessories and uniforms preserved in the deposits of the Applied Arts Collections of the Sforza Castle which have found their suitable placement in these environments.
Since 1995, the desire to document the main aspects and protagonists of Milanese cultural life between the 18th and 19th centuries, thus integrating the documentary value of the collections, has guided the organization of some fundamental exhibitions, from “Pietro Verri and the Enlightenment Milan“, dedicated to the Verri brothers, to “Oh days of our redemption. Milan from the Restoration to the Five Days“, up to “The Milan of the Young Gentleman. The Arts in Parini’s 18th Century” and “The faces of Carlo Cattaneo 1801-1869. A great Italian of the Risorgimento“. The Palace is located at Via Sant’Andrea, 6 – 20121 Milan.
