House of Visconti

The House of Visconti was a powerful Italian noble family that ruled Milan from the late 13th to the mid-15th century. They established their dominance through military strength, political savvy, and strategic alliances. The Visconti played a key role in shaping Milan’s political, cultural, and economic landscape during the medieval period. Their leadership helped transform Milan into a significant center of power in northern Italy. Over time, their influence waned, and the city moved towards new dynasties, but the Visconti legacy remains an important part of Milan’s history.
