Milan hides countless traces of a dark past, woven with mysterious tales, haunting figures, violent crimes and chilling legends.
As we wander through the streets of the city, we will uncover its most unsettling and shadowy side, brought to life by the many spirits and ghosts said to roam its alleys. We will begin with the story of Ara Bell’Ara and the curse that still hangs over Palazzo Marino, before reaching the Duomo to encounter the legend of Carlina, the ghostly bride.
Not far from there, we will recall the tragic fate of Giuseppe Mengoni, the famous architect of the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, whose spirit is still believed to drift among its mosaics and majestic arcades. And what about the eerie tale of the decapitated angel seeking revenge, perched atop the bell tower of San Gottardo? Another mystery that makes Milan even more intriguing and unsettling.
Our tour will then continue with the enigmatic tale of Lucrezia Borgia – both captivating and elusive – whose spirit is said to drift through the halls of the Pinacoteca Ambrosiana under the cover of night.
As we approach the church of San Tomaso in Terra Mala, we will come across the ghost of the beautiful Cecilia Gallerani, the ill-fated lover of Ludovico il Moro and the celebrated muse of Leonardo da Vinci’s masterpiece The Lady with an Ermine.
Our final stop will be the imposing Sforza Castle, home to the lingering presences of Bona di Savoia, Beatrice d’Este and Isabella of Aragon, whose ghosts are still said to haunt its halls.
Amid unsolved crimes, eerie legends and restless souls, our Milan ghost tour will unveil the city’s most hauntingly dark and captivating side.
