    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.

  • 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.

    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.
