Famiglia Visconti

Famiglia Visconti was a powerful noble family in medieval Italy, especially in Milan, from the 13th to the 15th century. They ruled the city and surrounding region as both dukes and condottieri (military leaders). Known for their political influence, military strength, and artistic patronage, the Visconti family shaped Milan’s development into a major cultural and commercial center. Their legacy includes impressive architecture and contributions to Renaissance Italy. The family eventually declined and was succeeded by the Sforza family, but their impact remains significant in Milan’s history.
