  • LEZIONE 9 – Dal Cordusio Al Castello Sforzesco (DIA 1)
    LEZIONE 9 – Dal Cordusio al Castello sforzesco (DIA 1) ( DIA 2) Il nuovo itinerario di Milano che iniziamo oggi parte da piazza Cordusio, prosegue per via Dante, per raggiungere infine il castello sforzesco con le sue gallerie d’arte. Usciti poi dal castello, inizieremo la visita del Parco Sempione, il più grande giardino pubblico all’interno delle mura spagnole, con l’acquario, l’Arena, l’arco della Pace, e il palazzo dell’Arte. Ritorneremo poi in via Dante attraverso via Boccaccio, la stazione delle Ferrovie Nord Milano, il teatro e il palazzo Dal Verme. Piazza Cordusio ( DIA 3) ) è una delle più importanti piazze milanesi, anche per funzione viabilistica e strategiche. È da sempre centro storico e nevralgico della città, di elevato rilievo storico e artistico. Crocicchio già in epoca imperiale, il Cordusio divenne importante con l’avvento dei Longobardi. Infatti, trent’anni dopo la distruzione di Milano (538-539) ad opera degli Ostrogoti, scende in Italia nel 569, il re dei Longobardi, Alboino. Da allora l’area divenne Langobardia, e in seguito Lombardia. Con la scomparsa di Alboino nel 572, la Provincia venne divisa fra i tre generali (che divennero duchi). Ad Albino toccò la “desolata Milano”. Il suo palazzo, che sorgeva nell’odierna piazza, era detto “De curte ducis” (o “Curia ducis“, ossia la corte dei duchi lombardi), da cui per corruzione “Cortedoxi“, quindi “Corduce” e infine “Corduso” o “Cordusio“. La corte ducale venne subito soppiantata dal nuovo palazzo del Broletto vecchio (Palazzo Reale) e il palazzo al Cordusio venne smembrato e probabilmente attraversato dalla contrada delle Galline.

  • Parco Sempione Guida Arbusti-Parte 1
    Arbusti??? ‘Arbusto…? E chi era costui…??’ disse in realtà Don Abbondio. La versione riportata da Alessandro Manzoni è spuria. Il personaggio a cui si riferiva il nostro pavido curato di campagna altri non era che un vegetale pressoché ignoto alla maggior parte degli umani, un Carneade della natura che nella migliore delle ipotesi è conosciuto come ‘siepe’. Non ce ne voglia il sommo letterato nostrano. Il fatto è che noi addetti ai lavori (nonché inguaribili amanti della natura) siamo così frustrati da anni di tentativi di diffondere la conoscenza degli arbusti da arrivare al punto di scomodare e parafrasare persino il romanzo più celebre d’Italia. Fatto più grave ancora, siamo arrivati al punto di scrivere noi un libro. Arbusti, dunque. E non arbusti qualunque, ammesso che ce ne siano. Sono gli arbusti del Parco Sempione. Con l’importante intervento di riqualificazione degli scorsi anni, il parco è stato, soprattutto nella sua parte centrale, arricchito di una grande quantità di specie e varietà arbustive che hanno conferito nuove forme, nuovi colori, nuove attrattive al più grande spazio verde del centro di Milano. Fuori i nomi, si dice solitamente quando si vuole giustizia. E siccome questa pubblicazione è nata proprio per rendere giustizia agli arbusti, avrete i nomi (botanici). E non solo…avrete anche, e soprattutto, una ricca sequenza di schede descrittive delle singole specie e varietà, ciascuna dotata di bellissime fotografie che mostrano ora la foglia, ora il fiore, ora il frutto, ora l’intera pianta. Ciascuna scheda è, quindi, una vera e propria carta d’identità della pianta. Identità…è per l’appunto di questo che gli arbusti hanno bisogno.

  • Towards the Expo 2015
    Towards the Expo 2015 1 Towards the Expo 2015 An Expo is a large international event that aims at the enrichment of human knowledge and technological progress, to promote cooperation and dialogue with international press. Given the importance of these major events, for almost a century now the need has arisen to standardise some aspects, such as duration, frequency and above all quality. The Bureau International des Expositions (BIE), established in 1928 with the International Convention of Paris is the international organisation responsible for establishing the parameters that control the Expo; the objective of the BIE is therefore to guarantee continuity of these events and maintain the level of international prestige earned over the years, selecting venues and dates and organising new Expos. The members of this organisation, with official headquarters in Paris, are all the States that have signed the convention. There are two different types of Expo: "Universal Expositions" (World Expo) and "International Expositions" (International Expo). The Expositions in the first category involve topics that concern the whole of humanity and therefore are global in nature. States, International Organisations, NGOs, Companies and other institutions can participate in these events, there is no limit to the size of the Exposition venue, and participants arrange the set-up of their own pavilions. Since 1996 these events have lasted six months and take place every five years. A Universal Expo will take place in Milan in 2015. 122 On the other hand the “International Expositions" take place in the period between the two Universal Expos and last for three months. The possible participants are the same as for a Universal Expo while the theme is more specific.

    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 suggestion exercised by the American examples has been one of the strong suits of the Modern Movement, at least since the celebrated journey of Le Corbusier in the United States. Mesmerised by the dream of the vertical metropolis that would free man from the suffocating density of the traditional city, the Swiss architect pushed humanity to embrace without hesitation the skyscraper typology. A symbolic representation of a “drive toward the sky,” as the Promethean effort to annul the restrains of the gravity force, “the skyscraper can be considered as the model of the building magnificence typical of the homo faber of the twentieth century”(1).
