The man who challenges himself is measured by his own habits, historical and cultural legacies. His daily adventure shapes the thinking of a universal humanity. Cradle of The Betrothed, Lecco is identified with the first novel written in the Italian language. A historical, sociological and cultural heritage to be discovered through the places of the protagonists and the villa that hosted the writer Alessandro Manzoni summer after summer. This makes Lecco a historical-literary destination for scholars, literati, professors and pupils: not just school trips, but wanderings along the paths of our history.
