Description

Imagine medieval Milan, a city that, despite the beauty of its churches and palaces, was governed by strict rules and tight control. This was reflected in the large number of prisons, which were supposed to ensure strict security... but the reality, as is often the case, was much more complex. On our tour, we will retrace the history of some of these prisons, revealing the secrets of their management and the powerful figures who commissioned them. One of the most feared names is that of Bernabò Visconti, the 'evil' lord of Milan, who exercised his power from his residence in Piazza Missori. But that's not all. Over the centuries, Milan has woven its stories with dark legends, some of which feature the Devil himself. And to conclude, we will tell you the story of a truly unique character: Manfredo Settala, a man shrouded in mystery, who perhaps, in some way, had dealings with the devil.
