  • Milan and the Lakes Travel Guide
    MILAN AND THE LAKES TRAVEL GUIDE Made by dk. 04. November 2009 PERSONAL GUIDES POWERED BY traveldk.com 1 Top 10 Attractions Milan and the Lakes Travel Guide Leonardo’s Last Supper The Last Supper , Leonardo da Vinci’s 1495–7 masterpiece, is a touchstone of Renaissance painting. Since the day it was finished, art students have journeyed to Milan to view the work, which takes up a refectory wall in a Dominican convent next to the church of Santa Maria delle Grazie. The 20th-century writer Aldous Huxley called it “the saddest work of art in the world”: he was referring not to the impact of the scene – the moment when Christ tells his disciples “one of you will betray me” – but to the fresco’s state of deterioration.

  • Renovating Teatro Alla Scala Milano for the 21St Century, Part I J
    Journal of the Acoustical Society of America / Volume 117 / Issue 4 Previous Article | Next Article Renovating Teatro alla Scala Milano for the 21st century, Part I J. Acoust. Soc. Am. Volume 117, Issue 4, pp. 2522-2522 (2005); (1 page) Higini Arau Travesera de Dalt, 118, 08024 Barcelona, Spain • Abstract • Related Content Full Text: Download PDF FREE | View Cart Teatro alla Scala of Milan, known simply as La Scala throughout the world, is an old but venerable opera house that achieved legendary status in the world of music. A great number of singers of Olympian status have sung there; and major operas, among them Verdi’s Falstaff and Otello and Puccini’s Turandot, premiered there. The 227‐year‐old theater is beloved with a passion by the Milanese and the Italians, but it has suffered the ravages of time. It needed to be renovated in order to reverse material decay, meet current fire codes and security requirements, incorporate a new HVAC system, and to accommodate badly needed modern stage machinery. This renovation project took 3 years during which the theater was closed, and it included the construction of an elliptical 17‐floor fly tower, designed by architect Mario Botta, for housing rehearsal rooms and serving as a scenery changing facility. The renovation proposal originally aroused a strong sense of melodrama among the extremely excitable Italian opera buffs who feared the desecration of their beloved edifice, but the acoustics and the beauty (carried out by Elisabetta Fabbri Architect) of the auditorium were preserved (and even enhanced). In this paper we explain how this project was achieved.

  • A Great Itinerary
    FODOR’S VENICE & THE BEST OF NORTHERN ITALY, 1st EDITION: A GREAT ITINERARY Day 1: Bellagio If you’re flying to northern Italy from overseas, there’s no better way to rest up after a long flight than a day on Lake Como, combining some of Italy’s most beautiful scenery with elegant historic villas and gardens. At the center of it all is Bellagio, a pretty village with world-class restaurants and hotels, as well as more economical options. From Bellagio you can ferry to other points along the lake, take walking tours, go hiking, or just sit on a terrace watching the light play on the sapphire water and the snowcapped mountains in the distance. Logistics: There are inexpensive bus-train combinations from Milan’s Malpensa airport. A limousine service, Fly to Lake (www.flytolake.com), leaves Malpensa four times per day (€35– €70 per person depending on the number of travelers, no service Sunday, late fall, or winter). The trip takes a little over two hours. In Bellagio you won’t need a car, since most of your touring will be on foot, by ferry, or by bus. Day 2: Milan After a leisurely breakfast in Bellagio, take the ferry to Varenna (15 minutes) and then the train (1 hour, 15 minutes) to Milan’s Central Station. Milan is a leading center of fashion and design, and many visitors keep to the area of elegant shops around Via Montenapoleone. But the city also houses some of Europe’s great art treasures in the Brera Gallery and has two churches by Bramante, perhaps the most refined of the Italian High Renaissance architects.

CONTATTI E TEAM TAM 3 Milano, 1 luglio 2021 Per oltre un anno siamo stati tenuti lontani da quei luoghi di elaborazione creativa e di proposta culturale. Quel 22 febbraio 2020 è stato l’inizio di un lungo vuoto emotivo, nel quale però non ci siamo annullati perché l’amore e la passione per il teatro ci hanno motivato a lavorare, a creare nuovi progetti, a sviluppare nuove straordinarie collaborazioni. In questi lunghi 15 mesi, abbiamo pensato a un nuovo Teatro Arcimboldi con l’ambizione di creare un sistema culturale allargato, un luogo di scambio nel quale il teatro si integra con realtà creative diverse come l’arte, la musica, il design, la formazione artistica, le mostre interattive, il cibo e l’ambiente come forme di piacere e di sostenibilità. La gestione del Teatro Arcimboldi è per noi un’occasione unica: per i suoi spazi, la sua programmazione trasversale, la sua vocazione internazionale e la poliedricità insita nel progetto. Lo immaginiamo come un grande cuore pulsante, che sentiamo la necessità di far battere il più possibile, anche in questo periodo di enorme fragilità e di insicurezza normativa sulle capienze. Il Teatro Arcimboldi è anche un luogo strategico per la città, un luogo simbolico che si fa collettore delle esigenze e delle suggestioni culturali di una metropoli ricettiva e dinamica come Milano.
