The Hall of Fame - Il Famedio

 

 

 

 

This building should have been a church, but in the end became something different: a temple, but devoted to fame, remembering people who were born or lived in Milan and made something important out of their lives.

The walls are covered with names and faces, and inside there are the tombs of Alessandro Manzoni, Carlo Cattaneo and Luca Beltrami. Giuseppe Verdi is remebered here but his rests are in the home for musician, Buonarroti square, while Giuseppe Mazzini is buried in Genova (Staglieno cemetery)
