Milan and Stendhal, A Double Portrait. Itinerary 2: Silvio Pellico

At the start of the 19th century, Milan is a vibrant, restless city swept by winds of change. It is here that Stendhal, the French writer enamored with Italy, moves through the streets—an ironic and passionate observer. This podcast recounts his walks through Milan: real or imagined encounters with historical figures such as Metilde Dembowski, Silvio Pellico, and Alessandro Manzoni. But it is also a sentimental guide to the city's iconic landmarks—the Duomo, Brera, San Fedele—seen through the eyes of an era suspended between the fall of Napoleon and the dawn of the Italian Risorgimento. A journey through time, where history and literature intertwine. Produced by Artglass and Biblioteca Sormani, with writing, narration, and music curated by eArs, made possible with the support of the PR FESR 2021–2027 program of Regione Lombardia, through the Innovacultura grant.
