Tourism in Milano

GUIDED TOURS (Let us know what you like best and we鈥檒l organize a tour for you!)

Hey, once you are in Milano, you might wish to consider visiting Venice, and/or Florence, and/or Rome. Venice and Rome do not need any advertising. As for Florence, this is the city of Leonardo da Vinci, the religious fanatic Savonarola (who governed Florence for five years and had books and art publicly burned during his tenure; was repeatedly summoned by the Borgia pope to be judged for blasphemy and similar sins; was finally hanged and burned, but in Florence itself since the governing body of the city wanted it so, not in Rome), of Machiavelli, of the Medici dynasty of politicians (and, later on, also popes), where Brunelleschi built a big double dome for the unfinished Florence cathedral (without the use of a prohibitively large scaffolding, an innovation unheard of at the time), etc. All that in just in the 15th century.

The cultural treasures that Florence has to offer can make you gasp in admiration at the achievements of the human spirit and the vast heritage of the Renaissance in Europe. Florence is so artistically rich that, if not careful, you might acquire the psychosomatic disorder that affects some people from exposure to so much art. It is called the Florence or Stendhal syndrome. This prominent French essayist and novelist wrote after visiting the town in 1817: 鈥淚 was in a sort of ecstasy, from the idea of being in Florence, close to the great men whose tombs I had seen. Absorbed in the contemplation of sublime beauty. I reached the point where one encounters celestial sensations. Everything spoke so vividly to my soul鈥�. Michelangelo, Masaccio, Rafaello, Donatello and Botticelli are just a few of the names you will read under the breathtaking masterpieces.

Don鈥檛 be shy. Just ask for your preferred sites to visit. Chances are that other participants may ask for the same topics, so personalized tours can be arranged! Nevertheless, below are a few tours you can choose from when in Milano.

• #1 Sforza Castle
  (Italian: Castello Sforzesco) was built in the 15th century by Francesco Sforza, Duke of Milan, on the remnants of a 14th-century fortification. Later renovated and enlarged, in the 16th and 17th centuries it was one of the largest citadels in Europe. Extensively rebuilt by Luca Beltrami in 1891-1905, it now houses several of the city鈥檚 museums and art collections, including , , (with an art collection which includes Andrea Mantegna鈥檚 Trivulzio Madonna and masterpieces by Canaletto, Tiepolo, Vincenzo Foppa, Titian and Tintoretto), and
• #2 The Piet脿 Rondanini
  The is the last incomplete work by (1475-1564). The Piet脿 is a meditation on death and the salvation of the soul. In this work the sculptor discards the perfection of the human body and its heroic beauty and transforms the dead Christ into an emblem of suffering. The physical arrangement of Mary and Jesus, the mother鈥檚 head above that of the son, is suggestive of various moments of the life of Christ: the deposition from the cross; the burial and even the resurrection: in the dissolution of Christ鈥檚 body in the mother鈥檚 embrace. Left incomplete due to the death of Michelangelo, the Piet脿 is a testament to the last period of the great master鈥檚 creative genius (see more below).
• #3 Sala delle Asse
  A remarkable record of the presence of (1452-1519) at the Sforza Court, the is the most iconic room in the Sforza Castle. The room owes its name to the wooden wall covering that was used at the time of the Sforzas to render the temperature and ambience of the rooms more comfortable. Formerly painted with heraldic motifs for Galeazzo Sforza, under Ludovico il Moro in 1498 it was transformed by Leonardo鈥檚 renowned decoration. Situated on the first floor of the Falconiera tower on the north-east corner of the castle, the Sala delle Asse is Room VIII of the Museum of Antique Art.
• #4 Highline Galleria
  path suspended along the rooftops of . A 250 meter path that allows you to touch the dome of the Galleria with one hand and the the sky with the other, leaving you fascinated by a 360 degree view over Milan and the surrounding Alps. An exciting path but also a place rich of events and initiatives where you could taste a fantastic aperitif, a funny lunch and memorable dinner.

A glance at Milano
Milano comes from the latin name Mediolanon (ancient Greek) or Mediolanum (Latin), meaning a city in the middle of the flat land, or, a city located between the waterways. Located in the Po Valley, between Turin (W) and Venice (E), the Alps, or the main European mountain chain (N), the Apennines and the coast of Ligura (S), Milano is surrounded by enchanting scenarios of flat lands, riversides, the lakes听and听, hills and picturesque towns and places. Founded by the Celts in 400 B.C., the Romans gave it the name Mediolanum, meaning 鈥渋n the middle of the lands鈥�. Because of its geographic location, since the beginning it has been one of the most international cities of Italy, a natural crossroad between the Nordic and the Mediterranean cultures.

Michelangelo, Raffaello, and Leonardo in Milano:
The Signature of Complexity in Sublime Imperfection

The perfection of work of arts reflects the听perfection of human body and mind expressed by the artist. However,听imperfect works can give us a breakthrough in the complexity hidden听behind. You will find three marvelous examples in Milano: two by听Michelangelo and Raffaello, almost unknown, the third one by Leonardo,
most celebrated.

Michelangelo鈥檚 鈥淧iet脿 Rondanini鈥� 鈥� Holism

The young Michelangelo had already reached perfection by the renown 鈥淧iet脿鈥� of the Vatican.

The marble he personally selected in the mountains over Carrara (Tuscany) was shaped to live and silent sorrow, to the dereliction of
death, and the gentleness of vests, which makes it a world鈥檚 masterpiece.

It鈥� hard to believe that Michelangelo had more to say in this very subject, but he did by the 鈥淧iet脿鈥� in Florence and next by the 鈥淧iet脿 Rondanini鈥� in Milano: a life-long, dramatic travel to imperfection, from his first masterwork to the last one.

You can see the 鈥淧iet脿 Rondanini鈥� at the 鈥淪forza鈥� Castle ()听and the contrast with the former 鈥淧iet脿鈥� will strike you. Michelangelo听worked intermittently on it over more than a decade. He conceived a听daring vertical composition and when it was almost at the end, after two听years, he completely turned it within the same piece of marble, as only听he was able to do (see the Moses). But he never finished. As a result,听we can simultaneously admire the finished and the unfinished (see the听Prisoners). The power of his mind over raw matter comes out revealing听the imagination, the doubts, the suffering of creation hidden in his听first Piet脿.

Might this be a paradigm of a holistic approach to complexity in Life Sciences?

Raffaello鈥檚 Preparatory Cartoon of the School of Athens 鈥� Reductionism

Who does not know Raffaello鈥� most famous fresco in the Vatican听rooms: the lively and colorful representation of the intellectual life听of Renaissance through the Greek philosophers?

Conversely, very few do probably know the preparatory cartoon to be admired at the (site also of Leonardo鈥檚 Atlantic Code).

However, even if color is missing, Raffaello鈥檚 genius jumps to your听eyes and you see his creative process, which in the finished artwork is astonishing.

Might this be a paradigm of a reductionistic approach?

Leonardo鈥檚 Last Supper 鈥� Always Problems with Methods and Technology

Leonardo kept the same sublime and unique painting style along his entire life.听But he was also curious about natural sciences and technology, which听made him听 听kaleidoscopic talent.听The mix, however, gave him several troubles in the art of fresco painting, since he wanted to deal with new color techniques and artistic creativity at the same time. Furthermore, he hated the immediacy of fresco work, where the painter must be more rapid than the drying cement on the wall. His experiments led him to disaster in Florence (see The Battle of Anghiari, lost fresco) and almost to, concerning the Last Supper. In fact, the masterpiece immediately started fading and nowadays, after a challenging restoration, it is kept much like in a hospital ICU. Only few visitors are admitted at a time in a strictly conditioned ambient. For this reason, you should book your visit several months ahead.听

Territorial Conclusion

In case the reader came to the conclusion that in Milano we do have听mainly defective items, while all the polished ones are elsewhere (Rome,听Florence, Venice, Paris, etc.) he or she might be absolutely right.听Nonetheless, we are very proud of them, wishing to show the sublimity of听imperfection, as a true paradigm of human complexity.
