UNIQUE SYMBOLS IN HISTORY OF ART AND CULTURE

W

hereas the Duomo of Milan is among the most famous cathedrals in the world and Leonardo’s Last Supper is mostly known to everyone, only few know about the other Milanese churches. They are all rich in history and art and share a very particular devotion: that of Saint Ambrose. It is connected with the music and the hymns simplified by Ambrose precisely to allow a greater and more joyful participation. After all, it is in this city that the Carnival lasts a few more days, and so does Advent. It perfectly shows the enterprising and reserved spirit of the Milanese people who are always reluctant to reveal their churches. It is a great opportunity to discover a different Milan, more intimate and linked to its ancient traditions that are intertwined with the figure of Saint Ambrose, bishop by chance and statesman by vocation. But also the capital of the Western Roman Empire (from 286 to 402) and the idea

of a united Italy conceived by the far-sighted Gian Galeazzo Visconti who wanted to build the largest church in the world (now the third): the Duomo.

Dedicated to the Nativity of Saint Mary, the Cathedral was built from the early Christian churches of Santa Tecla and Santa Maria Maggiore. The project started in 1386 when the Milanese, wanting to reaffirm the importance of Milan compared to Pavia where the Visconti resided, designed it like the others, made of brick.

But soon, the ambitious Gian Galeazzo took over the works and built it in marble. And majestic, in European style, for it had to become the heart of the Kingdom of Italy. He called in master builders from Europe and chose the pink-grey marble of Candoglia coming from the quarries in Val d’Ossola owned by the Visconti. Thus, throughout six centuries and eventful times, the cathedral became the only Italian example of late northern European Gothic, but with unique dif-

Here you’ll marvel at the superb frescoes by Simone Peterzano, Caravaggio’s teacher.

ferences such as the capitals on the pillars and windows inserted in solid walls. The current appearance of the façade instead was only realised in the 18th century by various designers, including Filarete, Bramante, Leonardo, Giulio Romano, Bernini and Vanvitelli. The end result is a building with five naves, rich in spires and windows - 55 between the end of the 14th century and the 1980s. The famous bronze Madonnina statue - covered with rags during the war to prevent a lighthouse effect - was made in the second half of the 1700s, while the church was completed by Napoleon who wanted to be crowned king of Italy in it.

There is little space between the naves and the two-pitched façade in travertine mottled bricks also in the Cathedral of Sant’Ambrogio. Built between 379 and 386 by Ambrose himself and dedicated to the martyrs, it still features an early Christian structure with a large four-sided courtyard overlooked by the large façade

and on two bell towers, one of the monks and one of the Canons. In the presbytery under the octagonal lantern tower, there is a ciborium in brass and a 9th-century gold-laminated altar by Vuolvino with engravings depicting stories about the life of Ambrose. The saint is buried, and portrayed in the Sacellum of San Vittore on a golden sky with the dome decorated with gold leaf mosaics. And it was here that the Manichaean Augustine became a Christian.

Built by Ludovico il Moro to be used as the family mausoleum, Santa Maria delle Grazie is famous for Leonardo’s Last Supper. It is the second Dominican church in the city and also the second to become a UNESCO heritage site. Its construction started in 1459 on land belonging to Vimercati, a rich leader from the Sforza family. The project included a chapel for him and a cloister for the soldiers. It was built

by Guiniforte Solari, the most popular architect at the time,

and completed by Bramante with the addition of an imposing cubic tribune and the hemispherical dome that gives light to the entire church. Besides the Last Supper, it was also famous for some portraits of the dukes made by Leonardo himself, unfortunately destroyed. But the ultimate proof of the creativity and genius of Bramante is the fake apse of Santa Maria presso San Satiro, a small but charming church in Via Torino. It was built in the 9th century in honour of Ambrose’s brother. When Bramante renovated it at the end of the 1400s, he added a unique optical effect: he was able to create the illusion of an apse almost 10 metres deep, like the sides of the transept, in just 97 cm of space. And if the perfect acoustics of the church of Sant’Eufemia made Maria Callas choose it for recording numerous arias, San Lorenzo Maggiore in Porta Ticinese is a gem of perfect geometry. Originally a Palatine cathedral at the time when Milan was cap31

LET US VISIT THE CATHEDRALS OF ETERNAL BEAUTY ital, it was the first to be built as a square inserted in a circle.

That is, a centrally planned church. And although there is little information about it, the theories are incredible: from the temple of Hercules to the spa of Nero. A well-preserved example of Roman architecture is its large colonnade. The last church with a Greek cross plan inspired by Bramante (before the Veto Tridentino) is the baroque church of Sant’Alessandro in Zebedia. Located very close to the Duomo, the church was built on what was originally the Roman prison of Zebedeo where the young Saint Alexander of Bergamo was imprisoned and martyred.

Today, it is considered the link between late Mannerism and Baroque.

Built in the mid-1200s, as a sign of gratitude to the Venetians who helped Milan in the battle against Frederick I, the Augustinian church of San Marco is the second longest church in the city after the Duomo and one of the

dearest to the Milanese. He housed Luther and Mozart who, a teenager at the time, practised a long time with the precious sixteenth-century organ; also Verdi in 1874, who here wrote and directed the Mass in Requiem in memory of Manzoni. It features the beautiful chapel Foppa with frescoes by mannerist painter Lomazzo and statues of Saints Ambrose, Mark and Augustine

by Giovanni di Balduccio at the entrance. Remains of the Magi, instead, could be found in the church of Sant’Eustorgio, built in the place where the oxen which carried the relics collapsed from fatigue. They remained there until the 12th century when Frederick I took them to Cologne. They were partly given back in 1904 and placed in the sarcophagus in the right transept. Only a gold medal remains of the Magi, exposed at Epiphany. From the thirteenth century, it is the main seat of the Dominicans who also used the square for burning people at the stake

during the Inquisition period.

It is also the burial side of Saint Peter Martyr, the arch-enemy of the Cathars, buried in an altarpiece by Balduccio that was later moved to the chapel Portinari. And it is really a gem the church of San Maurizio al Monastero Maggiore. It is a church with a single nave, completely frescoed, which still features the partition wall.

It belonged to the Benedictine nuns (the monastery closed by Napoleon is now an Archaeological Museum) and had early Christian origins: It was restored in the 16th century and frescoed by the Leonardeschi painter Bartolomeo Luini for the powerful Bentivoglio family that is also portrayed. In the counterfacade, there are frescoes by Simone Peterzano and also frescoes by Arcimboldi in the chapel of the Baptist.

The nave of the nuns features instead a beautiful Ark of Noah

by Vincenzo Foppa. Another gem is the sixteenth-century organ by Gian Giacomo Antegnati, entirely mechanical.

vibrant city, known everywhere as one of the world’s fashion and shopping capitals. Here, where art also plays an important role, with gems such as Castello Sforzesco, Leonardo’s Last Supper and the Academia di Brera to name but a few, there is a particular district that attracts tourists and shopping lovers from all over the world.

We are talking about the Fashion Quadrilateral, famous for being the area chosen by the world’s leading fashion houses for their stores and showrooms. The district is so named for the four styli-

sh streets that define its boundaries - Via Monte Napoleone, Via Alessandro Manzoni, Via della Spiga and lastly Corso Venezia.

AS WELL AS LEADING FASHION HOUSES, THERE ARE JEWELLERS, PERFUMERIES AND ATELIERS As well as leading fashion houses, the Fashion Quadrilateral is also studded with jewellers, perfumeries and ateliers where visi-

tors can discover the latest trends simply by browsing the window displays.

And then there are restaurants and cafés perfect for an aperitif, brunch or a stop for a first rate dinner.

Every year for some time now, Main Streets Across the World, the annual report listing top shopping streets across the globe, ranks the Fashion Quadrilateral among the top positions, on a par with the likes of Fifth Avenue, New York and Avenue des Champs Elysees, Paris. It’s hardly surprising – it’s a special place, with a refined, elegant atmosphere that seems unchanging, but which on 37

Just watching the people who frequent its pavements is a considerable lesson in style!

Any luxury brand you can think of has its flagship store here - Armani, Versace, Alberta Ferretti, Dolce e Gabbana, Prada, Fendi, Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Bottega Veneta, Gucci, Bulgari, Cartier, Valentino… and many others.

The district’s most famous street is Via Monte Napoleone. As the name implies, it was dedicated to Napoleone and was inaugurated in 1804, at the height of Napoleonic rule.

However, it became one of the world’s leading shopping streets only some years later, starting in the 1950s. Making this area even more appealing are the numerous historic buildings, house museums, cinemas, bookstores, and antiques shops.

Via Sant’Andrea is a small street that intersects Via della Spiga, parallel to Via del Gesù: we are thus in the heart of the celebrated district where ancient courtyards are occupied by ateliers and showrooms.

The street hosts a real gem, Palazzo Morando - inhabited over the centuries by various families of the Milanese aristocracy, the first owners were the Casati, who bought it at the end of the sixteenth century. Traces of the seventeenth-century decoration of the building from this family’s time remain in two salons on the main floor, located in the rear wing overlooking the garden. Today the building houses the Milan Fashion Museum.

In the nearby Via del Gesù we find the lovely Bagatti-Valsecchi House Museum.

It is the third oldest in the world after the legendary Indianapolis circuit and the less known Brooklands circuit

A

llmost six kilometres of asphalt crossing one of the largest fenced parks in Europe. It has been the set of epic challenges, great victories and unforgettable tragedies.

It witnessed glorious eras and unique moments for the world of sport and for all of Italy. When it was first built, it was the emblem of an Italy that was inspired by Futurism and by man’s need for speed, and today it is the emblem of an Italy united under a red flag surmounted by a black prancing horse. The Monza Circuit adds a new chapter to its long history, a book that motor enthusiasts have been reading for exactly a hundred years: that is in fact the number of years that have passed since the circuit 44

was built – in just 110 days – and that makes it the third oldest in the world after the legendary Indianapolis circuit and the less known Brooklands circuit. On 11 September, the circuit celebrated its birthday with its “old time friends”: the Formula 1 racing cars that arrived in Monza for a decisive stage in the race for the top of the World Drivers’ Championship between Verstappen and Leclerc, as the Dutchman driver wanted to prove once again that he is one step, or maybe two, ahead of everyone else.

For three days, racing fans occupied the 130 thousand seats distributed between stands and court to watch the single-seater cars whizzing by, so different from those that a century ago

started the myth of Monza.

Monza, the city of the coronation of Charlemagne and Napoleon with the crown displayed in the Duomo; Monza with its 18th-century Royal Palace, the Arengario and its 700-hectare fenced park; Monza that recently celebrated its first historic promotion in the Serie A football league and it now adds the centenary anniversary of its racing circuit to its “royal” history, destined to last for many years to come. Since that first race on 3 September 1922 – won

by Pietro Bordino – many things have changed in the circuit, starting with its actual shape.

Today it is 5,793 metres long but over the years it has adapted, whether by choice or necessity to the change in cars and safety reg-

The circuit was built in just 110 days 45

HILTON MILAN Via Luigi Galvani, 12 - Milan milan.hilton.com 4 places for food and fun in Monza: • Saint Georges Premier: a historic restaurant in the Royal Park of Monza, perfect for weddings and aperitifs with friends.

• Carrobiolo Brewpub: famous for its craft beer produced by the Barnabite monks of Monza. A great place for a hamburger or an after-dinner beer.

• Via Bergamo: the main drag for nightlife. Stop for a drink at Alla Stanga or Turnè, where you’ll often find live music.

• Vineria dei Tintori: for an utterly relaxing aperitif or dinner.

ulations. An indelible trace has remained of the 5.5-kilometre ring connected to a 4.5-kilometre one, as well as the Parabolica, one of the most iconic bends of the F1 world, today dedicated to the unfortunate Michele Alboreto, a former Ferrari driver.

In 1961, there was the final decision to exclude the High-Speed Ring from the Gran Premio race for single-seater cars: the choice was due to the tragic accident of Wolfgang von Trips on Ferrari, who lost control of the car right at the entrance of the Parabolica bend, killing himself and eleven spectators. And the list of the great drivers who died driving a car in Monza also includes Alberto Ascari, who in 1955 crashed his Ferrari on the bend now dedicated to him.

But speed is always the essence of the Monza circuit: the record for the highest speed ever reached, 370.1 km/h by Kimi Räikkönen on the McLaren in 2005, which has never been beaten for 17 years; the greatest display of courage and technology never again reached by any

Formula 1 car. As a sports venue of international value, the Monza Circuit opens its doors to racing enthusiasts on the days of the races of the various categories but also when the large royal park is quiet. The racing circuit well deserves its position among the most popular tourist destinations in Lombardy, and consequently in Brianza, also thanks to a program designed specifically for speed and car lovers. The offer includes a tour of the most iconic locations including a visit to a photographic exhibition, the press room, the briefing room and the podium, as well as the direction room and even a ride on the track; not with a Formula 1 car of course, but on board a mini-van or tourist bus along the track in all its length. Those who want to have a more thrilling visit can choose the combined ticket-visit access and go on a tour of the circuit during the days of the race accompanied by motorsport celebrities that will reveal interesting anecdotes and secrets of the circuit to the group.

Today there is Niccolò, son of Mauro, who carries on the family tradition and offers the best dishes of his homeland Tuscany.

CASA DEGLI ATELLANI & LEONARDO’S VINEYARD

While Leonardo da Vinci was in Milan, Duke Ludovico il Moro gave him a vineyard in the centre of the city in appreciation for the magnificent works he was creating to embellish the ducal city.

This was Leonardo’s Vineyard: reopened to the public for Expo 2015, the vineyard is located near Santa Maria delle Grazie, in the courtyard of Casa degli Atellani, the fifteenth-century residence of Ludovico il Moro and the last remaining trace of the ancient Borgo delle Grazie.

Corso Magenta, 65 ph. +39 02 25061895 casadegliatellani.it

It was originally a fortress built by Gian Galeazzo Visconti in the 15th century. One hundred years later, Francesco Sforza made it his noble residence after taking possession of Milan. Ludovico Sforza founded one of the most sophisticated courts in Europe and called the best artists of the time to embellish the castle, including Leonardo da Vinci and Filarete.

The imposing building today is a unique museum complex divided into the Civic Museums, which house permanent exhibitions and a rich program of temporary art shows and events. It includes the Museum of Ancient Art, the Egyptian Museum, the Museum of Prehistory and Protohistory, the Museum of Applied Arts, the Museum of Musical Instruments, the Museum of Furniture and Wooden Sculptures, the Trivulziana Library, the Pinacoteca, and the Pietà Rondanini.

PALAZZO INA

There are many entrances with a recognisable appearance scattered throughout Milan, all designed by some of the most famous architects of the 20th century. But the most instagrammed? The entrance hall of Palazzo Ina by modernist architect Piero Bottoni, who also designed Monte Stella and Qt8. An atrium with Palladian Carrara marble flooring, while the walls are covered with powder pink and cobalt blue tiles: a perfect mix for Instagram.

Corso Sempione, 33

VIA LINCOLN

Low-rise houses, pastel shades, small balconies and flower gardens.

The houses in Via Lincoln, a former working-class district now known as the Rainbow district are all painted in different colours. Some even gave it the nickname of Milanese Burano, and it is a sought-after place by those who, in addition to the monuments, want to discover the city’s secret and unusual places.

FONDAZIONE PRADA

The architecture of the museum offers a varied choice of views and panoramas to take a good photo. For example, the Upside Down Mushroom Room: a dreamlike installation by Carsten Höller that enriches the Atlas, the permanent collection of the Fondazione Prada, and attracts the curiosity of many visitors. But also the Bar Luce, designed by film director Wes Anderson: pastel tones, jukebox, pinball machines and a refined vintage atmosphere to feel like being in a film while sipping a cup of coffee.
