Napoleon's Milan, 1810
Milan in 1810 is the capital of the Napoleonic Kingdom of Italy, a city reshaping its medieval plan with broad neoclassical ambitions and state patronage. The walk passes new building sites, gala theatre nights, completed work on the Duomo façade and the reworked cultural quarter around Brera, showing everyday commerce and civic display under imperial rule.
36 scenes — 22 streets, squares and views, 14 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Milan as it stood in 1810 (“History of Milan”).
