Duomo di Monza

ChiesaDuomo di MonzaIron Crown of Lombardy, Zavattari fresco cycle, striped Gothic facade, royal coronations since CharlemagneMonza's cathedral was founded, tradition says, by the Lombard queen Theodelinda around 595, and its treasury still guards the object that made the town a royal stage: the Corona Ferrea, a slender gold and jeweled circlet built around a thin iron band that legend holds was forged from a nail of the Crucifixion. Kings from Charlemagne to Napoleon Bonaparte were crowned with it as King of Italy, the last coronation in 1805. In Theodelinda's own chapel, the Zavattari family covered the walls in 1444 with a fresco cycle of 45 scenes from her life, painted in the courtly, gold-heavy style known as International Gothic. The striped marble facade outside, added between the 1300s and 1600s, mixes Gothic tracery with a later Baroque portal.Pianifica la visita

PalazzoVilla Reale di MonzaPiermarini's neoclassical design, 28 restored royal rooms, 14 km walled park, Monza Grand Prix circuitEmpress Maria Theresa of Austria had this summer palace built starting in 1777 for her son, and Giuseppe Piermarini, fresh off the commission, went on to design La Scala with the same restrained neoclassical hand you see here. The Habsburgs gave way to Napoleon's viceroys, then to the House of Savoy, who used it as a royal retreat until King Umberto I was assassinated in Monza in 1900 and the family never properly returned. The 28 restored rooms open to visitors move from Habsburg state rooms to the Savoys' more private apartments, including quarters once kept ready for the Duchess of Genoa and the German Emperor as guests. Outside, a 14-kilometer wall, built in 1807 and 1808 from the stones of a demolished Visconti castle, encloses one of the largest parks in Europe, now shared by farms, gardens and the Monza Grand Prix circuit.
