The 18th century Palazzo Moriggia houses a collection of artwork and objects that illustrate the history of Italian unification, from Napoleon's first Italian campaign of 1796 up to the annexation of Rome in 1870. The permanent display chronologically traces the events of the Risorgimento, complete with weapons, photographs, paintings, and a vast collection of documents from the period. Of particular interest are the green and silver velvet cloak and regal insignia from Napoleon's coronation, the banner of the Legione Lombarda Cacciatori a Cavallo (Lombard Legion on Horseback), and the first Italian flag. There are multimedia and interactive centers, as well as constantly changing exhibitions.
