  • 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.

  • 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.

Among the things we are missing the most in our cities during the lockdown, one in particular remains a universal essential need: moving around. Although not immediate, the gradual reopening of the city is getting closer and closer. We will soon be able to move around again and integrate physical activity into our daily routines. Thus, it is more and more urgent to find solutions to adapt the city - particularly infrastructure and public spaces - to the new social distancing measures needed to coexist with the virus. This is a seemingly obvious, but unprecedented issue. Compliance with such measures will not be easy, especially when it comes to managing people's movements in densely populated cities like Milan. But in the coming months, mobility will have to change in an effort to find a new balance that manages the movements of people and ensures their protection from the risk of infection.

  • Uncorrected Proof
    Chapter 12 Luxury as a Driver for New Urban Identities in Milan: Geographies, Spatial Author Proof Practices, and Open Questions Mario Paris 1 Abstract In contemporary cities, the role of capital and private investors who finance AQ1 2 interventions in the field of urban regeneration has become an increasingly important 3 catalyst for the physical and social impacts of these transformations. This paper aims 4 to point out the role of urban projects developed by luxury companies or stakehold- 5 ers in consolidated urban regions. Starting by analysing the spatial distribution of 6 luxury firms in Milan and composing a tentative classification system based on a 7 variety of case studies, the author proposes a mental map of spaces shaped, occu- 8 pied, transformed and infected by the sector within the contemporary metropolis. 9 The resulting network of urban places sprawls out not only across centralized areas, 10 but also in peripheral neighbourhoods, which interact with existing contexts, spatial 11 and economic relationships as well as evident and hidden flows. From this basis, the 12 contribution reflects on a set of luxury-driven practices and their impacts on urban 13 identities. The reflection includes the role played by media technologies in these 14 transformations and in the study of their development. The conclusions then discuss 15 the role of luxury; whether it transforms the physical form of our city (its shape and 16 patterns) or rather influences processes of transformation. 17 Keywords Luxury · Identity · Global · Local · Urban 18 12.1 Introduction 19 As Amirtahmasebi et al. point out in their recent publication (2016; xxvii), ‘every AQ2 20 city has pockets of underused and underutilized land or distressed and decaying 21 urban areas.
