Those who love the charm of simple things must visit this house, which the FAI has completely restored.
The charm of this house, which was neither a palace nor a farmstead, consists in the smallest details, frozen in time, showing the authentic life of a Lombard dwelling.

A bit of history:
The house was built at the turn of the 19th and early 20th century in the centre of the village.
It was inhabited by the Macchi family until 1970, when the last owner Mrs Maria Luisa moved away.
The lady bequeathed the house to the FAI in 2015.
In 2022, after long restoration, the house opened its doors to numerous visitors.

A note:
Morazzone is a tiny municipality, about 4000 inhabitants, located about 6 mi from Varese.
As in other similar sites, there is a gradual and sad closure of businesses in the village.
Until 1975, there were at least 25 shops, a bakery, a butcher, a stationery shop and others.
Most of them closed their doors.
The Emporio Macchi, a real shop, was therefore created to revitalize the centre of Morazzone.
