WKND Travel: Inside The Ambrosiana, Milan's historic library


Mariella Radaelli
Filed on May 6, 2021
In the age of the Baroque, the Archbishop of Milan Federico Borromeo (1564-1631) would send burly, yet educated men to sea on a hunt for manuscripts.
Cardinal Federico was a younger cousin of the zealous prelate Carlo Borromeo, the eventual guardian saint against the plague, who played an important role in the Counter-Reformation. They both belonged to the Borromeo family, a noble Milanese house that left a strong mark in Northern Italy.
But Federico was a ‘universal’ bibliophile, who sent out solo emissaries to chase manuscripts throughout the known world because of his great obsession: the Ambrosiana. In his mind, it had to become one of the most important cultural institutions in Europe, a public library (the Veneranda Biblioteca Ambrosiana) an art gallery (the Pinacoteca Ambrosiana), an art school, and an ecclesiastic college. Federico planned its foundation and grand opening for 1609.
