"Il Lazzaretto" is a novel by Italian author Mario Puccini, first published in 1909. The work is set against the backdrop of the Lazzaretto of Milan, an institution historically used for the quarantine and care of plague victims, which by the time of the novel's setting had evolved into a multifaceted community space. Puccini, known for his realistic and sometimes naturalistic portrayal of life, delves into the lives of the poor and marginalized individuals who inhabit the Lazzaretto area, offering a vivid exploration of their struggles, hopes, and daily experiences.

The novel is notable for its detailed depiction of early 20th-century Milanese society, particularly focusing on the socio-economic disparities and the harsh realities faced by the lower classes. Puccini's narrative weaves together multiple characters and stories, creating a rich tapestry of human life and emotions. Through "Il Lazzaretto," Puccini not only provides a critical social commentary on the conditions of the poor in Milan but also reflects broader themes of suffering, resilience, and the quest for dignity amidst adversity.

"Il Lazzaretto" is considered an important work in the canon of Italian literature for its historical context, its innovative use of language and style, and its deep humanism. Puccini's ability to capture the essence of Milanese life, combined with his empathetic portrayal of his characters, has earned the novel a lasting place in Italian literary history. The work is also a valuable document for understanding the social dynamics and urban landscape of Milan at the beginning of the 20th century, offering insights into the transformation of the city and its people during a period of significant change.
