The large bronze sculpture was commissioned from Francesco Confalonieri (1850-1925) by the Citizens' Committee, chaired by Antonio Stoppani, to commemorate the famous writer and was inaugurated in 1891.

Considered Confalonieri's greatest masterpiece, the work interprets the Romantic-Realist aesthetic of the 19th century.

Alessandro Manzoni is captured in a moment of reflection, seated in an armchair with the manuscript of The Betrothed on his knees.

The face, pose, clothing, and furnishings are rendered with great realism.

The sculptor also created the three Scapigliatura-style high reliefs on the base, depicting The Abduction of Lucia, Renzo at the Lazzaretto, and The Marriage of Renzo and Lucia. Giosuè Carducci delivered a commemorative speech at the official inauguration ceremony.

The monument still stands today in its original, scenic location, with the Resegone mountain behind it.
