CASA MACCHI

Perfectly preserved in its furnishings and decorations, down to the knick-knacks and everyday objects, the house with its lovely garden is an extraordinary testimony to the way of life and taste in living of a middle-class Lombard family between the 19th and 20th centuries. The rooms house the portraits of the inhabitants of the house, part of an interesting archive also consisting of photographs, letters, diaries and postcards, which make it possible to reconstruct the family's vicissitudes against the backdrop of the main events in Italian history, from the Risorgimento to the Second World War.
To honour the generous and civilised gesture of the donor, FAI restored Casa Macchi, opening it to the public in 2022. In the meantime, in 2021, FAI opened the Emporio di Casa Macchi, a shop selling a variety of goods to serve the community.
The restoration and enhancement project of Casa Macchi is the subject of a Programme Agreement with the Lombardy Region and the Municipality of Morazzone aimed at the regeneration and revitalisation of the historic centre of the village.
