  • Lezione 12 – Da Montenapoleone in Duomo (Dia 1) Lasciamo Ancora Una Volta Montenapoleone Per Entrare a Sinistra in Via S
    Lezione 12 – Da Montenapoleone in Duomo (Dia 1) Lasciamo ancora una volta Montenapoleone per entrare a sinistra in via S. Andrea dove al n, 6 troviamo (Dia 2) il PALAZZO MORANDO ATTENDOLO BOLOGNINI, al cui interno si trovano la COLLEZIONE COSTUME MODA E IMMAGINE e il MUSEO DI MILANO. Pare che la contessa Bolognini fosse addirittura l'amante del re Umberto I; Edificato nel ‘500, il Palazzo fu residenza di alcune tra le più importanti famiglie milanesi, tra cui i Villa che nel corso del XVIII secolo fecero eseguire sull’edificio numerosi interventi, conferendogli l’impronta rococò, che tuttora lo caratterizza. Nei primi anni del XX secolo la dimora, che allora apparteneva alla famiglia De Cristoforis, fu acquistata dai coniugi Gian Giacomo Morando Bolognini e Lydia Caprara Morando Bolognini, che riempirono le sale con un’ampia collezione di arredi e dipinti. (dia 3) La Contessa Lydia, rimasta vedova nel 1919, morì senza eredi nel 1945 e nel testamento volle donare la sua residenza milanese, con tutto il contenuto, al Comune di Milano, che secondo l’uso dell’epoca smembrò le collezioni per unirle a quelle di altri edifici comunali. Nel 1958, dopo un lungo restauro dovuto agli ingenti danni subiti dall’edificio durante la II Guerra Mondiale, Palazzo Morando aprì le sue porte al pubblico col nome di “Museo di Milano”. Al piano nobile fu collocata la collezione Beretta (tuttora esposta), una ricca raccolta di dipinti e disegni dedicata all’iconografia urbanistica e architettonica di Milano, anch’essa divenuta di proprietà del Comune grazie a una donazione. Al pian terreno invece trovò sistemazione nel 1963 il Museo della Guerra e della Resistenza, poi denominato Museo di Storia Contemporanea.

Nevertheless it is one of the most beautiful examples of Milanese Art Nouveau. A tour around the masterpieces left to the city“ by this great artist – sought out by the finest architects for his creativity and his ability to give iron the lithe and “flowery” look so typical of Art Nouveau – has to begin at Casa Ferraro in the city centre. On this building, which has one of Milan’s most popular fine food shops on the ground floor, the complex floral motifs of the balustrades climb upwards to link the various balconies. On the front of the imposing Palazzo Castiglioni (47 Corso Venezia), the first real example of Art Nouveau in Milan, Mazzucotelli’s twisted ironwork is perfectly integrated with the circular openings hollowed into the rough stone for the small ground-floor windows. Inside, the same artist’s “dragonfly lamp” can be admired in the entrance hall, as well as the balustrade of the main double staircase. Mazzucotelli also designed the wrought-iron terraces of Casa Galimberti, with brightly coloured ceramics covering the façade, and those of the adjacent Casa Guazzoni; as well as the gate and large woven leaves of the balconies of Casa Campanini and the naturalistic elements of Casa Moneta.

    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.

  • The Iron-Glass Roof of the Milan Gallery Vittorio Emanuele II: Knowing the Past, Understanding the Present and Preservation for the Future
    Structural Studies, Repairs and Maintenance of Heritage Architecture XIV 75 The iron-glass roof of the Milan Gallery Vittorio Emanuele II: knowing the past, understanding the present and preservation for the future I. Stoyanova Department of Architecture and Urban Studies, Polytechnic University of Milan, Italy Abstract Past research discussed the genesis of the Milan Gallery Vittorio Emanuele II and its importance as an emblematic example of 19th century glazed arcades. The iron-glass cover was hailed as a significant technological accomplishment at the time. Previous personal studies highlighted the reinforcing system which integrated the iron roof into the surrounding masonry structures and the glazing system as characteristic technological aspects which were closely related to the monumental vocation of the Gallery and survived until the present day. This paper deepens the knowledge on the reinforcing and the glazing systems respectively as solutions for lateral thrust management and as a complex of glazing techniques which obtained architectural value in the case of the Gallery. The introduction outlines the complex Gallery genesis in relation to its monumental vocation. The paper then explains the elements and the logic of the two systems in view of the 19th century building practice. Next, these studies argue that the roof reconstruction after the Second World War conserved the primary roof system and improved the long-term performance of the original glazing technology with technical alterations such as dilatation joints and trapezoidal laps instead of triangular ones. The paper also documents the present- day state of the reinforcing and glazing systems and discusses which aspects complied with the original technology and which were introduced in the post- war reconstruction.
