Overview[]

Milan[]

The Duchy of Milan was a constituent state of the Holy Roman Empire in northern Italy. It was created in 1395, when it included twenty-six towns and the wide rural area of the middle Padan Plain east of the hills of Montferrat. During much of its existence, it was wedged between Savoy to the west, Venice to the east, the Swiss Confederacy to the north, and separated from the Mediterranean by Genoa to the south. The Duchy eventually fell to Habsburg Austria with the Treaty of Baden (1714), concluding the War of the Spanish Succession. The Duchy remained an Austrian possession until 1796, when a French army under Napoleon Bonaparte conquered it, and it ceased to exist a year later as a result of the Treaty of Campo Formio, when Austria ceded it to the new Cisalpine Republic.

Gian Galeazzo[]

Gian Galeazzo Visconti, son of Galeazzo II Visconti and Bianca of Savoy, was the first Duke of Milan (1395) and ruled the late-medieval city just before the dawn of the Renaissance. He was the great founding patron of the Certosa di Pavia, completing the Visconti Castle at Pavia begun by his father and furthering work on the Duomo of Milan.

Dawn of Man[]

Prestigious lord of the noble House of Visconti, the loyal denizens of the great and ancient Milan speak your praises. You ruled the city of Milan at the dawning of the Renaissance, and elevated its status from a mere Lordship to an esteemed Duchy. A great patron of arts and home to immeasurable wealth, Milan would exist as one of the cultural centres of Italy for some 200 years, and its legacy for countless more.

Noble Lord, the great city of Milan beckons your leadership to bring upon her a great wealth of coin and culture. Can you fill her ancient vaults with gold and art beyond comparison? Can you build a civilization that can stand the test of time?

Treatise by Machiavelli[]

Throughout the court, our courtiers are speaking on a treatise written by the great philosopher Machiavelli, in which he praises our methods to secure our rule over Milan.
