Castle of Milan-Castello Sforzesco - 2009
Castello Sforzesco (English: Sforza Castle) is a castle in Milan, Italy, that used to be the seat and residence of the ruling family of Milan and now houses several of the city's museums and art collections.
The original construction on the site began in the 14th century. In 1450, Francesco Sforza began reconstruction of the castle, and it was further modified by later generations. A number of these rooms originally had elaborate internal decoration - the best known of these being the Sala Delle Asse with surviving ceiling paintings by Leonardo da Vinci
After the unification of Italy in the 19th century, the restoration of the castle was started following its transfer from military use to the city of Milan. The restoration work was directed by Luca Beltrami. The central Filarete tower above the main city entrance was rebuilt between 1900 and 1905 as a monument to King Umberto I.
The castle was severely damaged as a result of the allied bombardment of Milan in 1943 during World War II. The post-war reconstruction of the building for museum purposes was undertaken by the BBPR architectural partnership.
The best known of the current civic museums is the Pinacoteca del Castello Sforzesco, with an art collection which includes Michelangelo's last sculpture, the Rondanini Pietà, Andrea Mantegna's Trivulzio Madonna and Leonardo da Vinci's Codex Trivulzianus manuscript .
The Castello complex also includes The Museum of Ancient Art, The Furniture Museum, The Museum of Musical Instruments and the Applied Arts Collection, The Egyptian and Prehistoric sections of the Archaeological Museum and the Achille Bertarelli Print Collection

Milan (Italian: Milano) is financially the second most important city in Italy. It has the most populous city proper in the country, but sits at the centre of Italy's largest urban and metropolitan area. While incorrectly not considered as beautiful as some Italian cities, having been partly destroyed by Second World War bomb raids, the city has rebuilt itself into a thriving cosmopolitan business capital. In essence, for a tourist, what makes Milan interesting compared to other places is that the city is truly more about the lifestyle of enjoying worldly pleasures: a paradise for shopping, football, opera, and nightlife. Milan remains the marketplace for Italian fashion – fashion aficionados, supermodels and international paparazzi descend upon the city twice a year for its spring and autumn fairs. Don't get fooled by the modern aspect of the city, since it's one of the most ancient cities in Europe with more than 26 centuries of history and heritage!
Milan is famous for its wealth of historical and modern sights - the Duomo, one of the biggest and grandest Gothic cathedrals in the world, La Scala, one of the best established opera houses in the globe, the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele, an ancient and glamorous arcaded shopping gallery, the Brera art gallery, with some of the finest artistic works in Europe, the Pirelli tower, a majestic example of 1960s modernist Italian architecture, the San Siro, a huge and famed stadium, or the Castello Sforzesco, a grand medieval castle and the UNESCO's World Heritage Site Santa Maria delle Grazie Basilica, containing one of the world's most famous paintings: Leonardo da Vinci's The Last Supper. If you plan to visit it reserve a ticket online, as it is sold out for several months.
Milan, unlike most usually historical European cities which throw the sights in your face, requires quite a lot of exploring - take it as it is, and you might enjoy its fashionable glitter and business-like modernity, but might find it not very captivating. If you spend time, though, strolling through areas such as the pretty Navigli, the chic Brera district, the lively University quarter, or some of the smaller churches and buildings, you'll find a forward thinking, diverse city filled in every corner with history, and with a plethora of hidden gems. Plus, with such an established history in theatre, music, literature, sport, art and fashion, there's really not much you can miss.
The Metro (short for Metropolitana) has a big white M on a red background as a logo and has four lines, each commonly identified by a colour as shown below, and is the best way to get around Milan. Walking is definitely a possibility, and although Milan is a large city, many of the main tourist attractions are within an easy and pleasant walk from one another. In recent years, several tourist hot spots, such as the Corso Vittorio Emanuele or the Via Dante have been made pedestrian, so walking shouldn't be a problem.
A lot to see in Milan such as:
Duomo
Galleria Vittorio Emanuele
Sforzesco Castle
Santa Maria delle Grazie
Piazza Mercanti
Pinacoteca di Brera
Teatro alla Scala
Sempione Park
Central Station

Milan is home to many cultural institutions, museums and art galleries, that account for about a tenth of the national total of visitors and receipts. The Pinacoteca di Brera is one of Milan's most important art galleries. It contains one of the foremost collections of Italian painting, including masterpieces such as the Brera Madonna by Piero della Francesca. The Castello Sforzesco hosts numerous art collections and exhibitions, especially statues, ancient arms and furnitures, as well as the Pinacoteca del Castello Sforzesco, with an art collection including Michelangelo's last sculpture, the Rondanini Pietà, Andrea Mantegna's Trivulzio Madonna and Leonardo da Vinci's Codex Trivulzianus manuscript.

Places to see in ( Milan - Italy ) La Triennale di Milano
Places to see in ( Milan - Italy ) La Triennale di Milano
La Triennale di Milano is a design and art museum in the Parco Sempione in Milan, in Lombardy in northern Italy. It is housed in the Palazzo dell'Arte, which was designed by Giovanni Muzio and built between 1931 and 1933; construction was financed by Antonio Bernocchi and his brothers Andrea and Michele.
The Milan Triennial, an international exhibition of art and design, was held at the museum thirteen times between 1936 and 1996, and – after a break of twenty years – again in 2016. A permanent museum of Italian design, the Trienniale Design Museum, was opened in 2007.
The Palazzo dell’Arte, home of Milan’s Triennale, is situated among the greenery of the southwest part of the Parco Sempione. After the Sforzesco Castle, the civic Arena and the Arch of Peace, this building completed the circle of monuments around the old parade grounds, proclaimed a public park towards the close of the nineteenth century.
Inaugurated in Monza in 1923 with a two-year cadence, the Esposizione Internazionale delle Arti Decorative e Industriali e dell'Architettura Moderna (International Exhibition of Decorative and Industrial Arts and Modern Architecture) became triennial in 1930 and three years later moved to its new home in Milan to celebrate its fifth edition. Construction of Milan’s Palazzo dell’Arte was made possible by the Foundation created with the generous bequest of Antonio Bernocchi, Senator and industrialist of Milan who died in 1930, whose name still today stands proudly over the main entrance. Design of the building was entrusted to architect Giovanni Muzio, and the City of Milan made the area in the park available. Construction was started in the fall of 1931 and the work was completed in the spring of 1933.

( discovering Milan 1 ) the Castle of Milan
This video for yesmilano.com covers the long history of the Milan Castle, also known as “Castello Sforzesco”, (i.e. the Castle of the Sforzas). An Italian edition of this video is also available on the YouTube channel of Andrea Rui. The English text and narrating voice are that of Carlo Rolle, whose YouTube channel deals with medieval history.
In 1360, the Visconti family decided to build a fortress next to Milan’s walls. They ordered the construction of a citadel next to the Castle, and surrounded by a moat. The fortress was completed with ducal apartments. After the death of Filippo Maria Visconti in 1447, a power void led to the creation of the Ambrosian Republic, during which the Castle was demolished.
In 1450, Francesco Sforza became the new Duke of Milan. He reconstructed the fortress, starting with the part facing the city. Two projecting round towers were cladded by diamond-shaped stones that could withstand artillery fire. Their walls were nearly 7 m thick. In 1451 the Duke commissioned to “the Filarete the design of a great tower on the gateway towards the city.
Under Galeazzo Maria Sforza, a staircase was built in the courtyard, which could be climbed on horseback and gave access to residence of the Duke. In 1472, the Ducal Chapel was completed with richly decorated interiors.
When Galeazzo Maria was killed, his widow, Bona of Savoy, decided to reinforce the Castle to protect her son Gian Galeazzo Sforza. The core of the fortification was the Torre Castellana, or Treasure Tower. Another tower was erected in order to gain better control of the access to the Piazza d’Armi.
In 1480, with the exile of Bona to the town of Abbiate, Ludovico il Moro, another son of Francesco Sforza, assumed the role of Governor of the Duchy and of guardian of the young Gian Galeazzo, his nephew. The Moro invited to Milan great artists, such as Leonardo da Vinci and Bramantino.
Several drawings of the Castle by Leonardo da Vinci exist. One of them is a study of a huge lighthouse tower that should have replaced the Tower of Filarete. He had planned a large square in front of the castle, with a gigantic equestrian monument of Francesco Sforza in the centre, but Leonardo never managed to realize this statue.
In 1499, the Milan Castle, was handed over to the Frenchand Ludovico il Moro was finally defeated in 1500 by the French army, under the command of Gian Giacomo Trivulzio.
In 1521, lightning struck the Tower of Filarete and provoked an explosion that completely destroyed the tower and part of the Castle.
Upon the death of the last of the Sforzas, in 1535, the Duchy of Milan was annexed to the Empire of Charles V. In the following years, the city walls were enlarged. Straight ramparts were built and connected by huge bastions.
The Spanish governors were aware of the need to surround the Castle with bastions in accordance with modern fortification techniques, transformed by the development of artillery. Six huge bastions were constructed. These fortifications are described in the video. Milan eventually passed under the control of the House of Habsburg of Austria.
In 1796, with the arrival of Napoleon’s armies, the dismantling of the bastions began. The two round towers of the Castle were lowered and the ditches facing the city were filled up. A project foresaw the demolition of the Castle, and the erection of a large column celebrating Napoleon. The project was never completed and the Castle remained for decades an area of military barracks. In 1803, the Castle became the headquarter for the troops in Milan. Architect Luigi Canonica redesigned the square in front of the fortress and planned the perspective towards the park.
After the unification of Italy, the value of the location occupied by the Castle had increased and it was initially decided to demolish most of it. However, architect Luca Beltrami fought to save the Castle and bring it back to its ancient splendour. He convinced the city administration to undertake its restoration. The look of the Castle under the Sforzas was restored and original interior decorations were discovered. Beltrami brought the mutilated towers facing the city back to their original height and rebuilt the Filarete Tower, solemnly inaugurated in 1905.
Today, in every part of the Castle you can find masterpieces and manufacts recovered from ancient buildings. For centuries, the Castle had been a symbol of oppression. The two great towers of the Sforzas and the first bastions built by the Spaniards faced the city, as if the enemy had been inside it. However, today, the Castle has become the most beloved building in Milan, the historical and artistic memory of the city and a favourite destination for the walks of the Milanese and the tourists.

The success of the Triennial Decorative Art Exhibitions held in Monza had convinced the organizers to move the event to Milan. A large building was designed for the exhibition by architect Giovanni Muzio, who worked closely with Gio Ponti and Mario Sironi, who were in charge for the V Triennial Exhibition. Other famous artists, such as Carlo Carrà, Giorgio de Chirico, Massimo Campigli, Marino Marini contributed to this extraordinary building, the Palazzo dell’Arte, by creating frescoes, mosaics and reliefs in close cooperation with the architects.

Places to see in ( Imola - Italy )
Imola is a town and comune in the Metropolitan City of Bologna, located on the river Santerno, in the Emilia-Romagna region of northern Italy. The town is traditionally considered the western entrance to the historical region Romagna. The city is most noted as the home of the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari which formerly hosted the Formula One San Marino Grand Prix (the race was named after the nearby independent republic of San Marino, as Monza already hosted the Italian Grand Prix), and the deaths of Formula One drivers Ayrton Senna (Brazilian) and Roland Ratzenberger (Austrian) at the circuit during the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix. The death of Senna (three-times world champion) was an event that shocked the sporting world and led to heightened Formula One safety standards.
The city was anciently called Forum Cornelii, after the Roman dictator L. Cornelius Sulla, who founded it about 82 BC. The town was an agricultural and trading centre, famous for its ceramics. The name Imola was first used in the 7th century by the Lombards, who applied it to the fortress (the present Castellaccio, the construction of which is attributed to the Lombard Clefi), whence the name passed to the city itself. According to Paul the Deacon, Imola was in 412 the scene of the marriage of Ataulf, King of the Visigoths, to Galla Placidia, daughter of Emperor Theodosius the Great. In the Gothic War (535–552), and after the Lombard invasion, it was held alternately by the Byzantines and barbarians.
Alot to see in Imola such as :
Rocca Sforzesca (Sforza Castle), built under the reign of Girolamo Riario and Caterina Sforza. Now houses a Cinema d'Estate which shows films in July and August. It also is the location of the world-famous International Piano Academy Incontri col Maestro, founded in 1989 by Franco Scala.
Palazzo Tozzoni (Tozzoni's Mansion), built between 1726 and 1738 by the architect Domenico Trifogli, civic art museum since 1981.
Duomo (cathedral), dedicated to San Cassiano. Erected from 1187 to 1271, it was repeatedly restored in the following centuries, until a large renovation was held in 1765–1781. The façade dates to 1850.
Convento dell'Osservanza, including the church of San Michele from 1472, to which later a convent with two cloisters was added. It houses a sarcophagus of Lucrezia Landriani (1496), mother of Caterina Sforza. The interior has a nave and an aisles, finished in 1942; it houses a fresco attributed to Guidaccio da Imola (1472). In the apse is a Byzantine-style crucifix from the 15th century. The first cloister, dating to 1590, had originally 35 frescoes of stories of St. Francis, 15 of which went lost. In the garden annexed to the church is a precious Pietà in terracotta of late-15th century Bolognese or Faenza school.
The Acque Minerali Park, located next to Santerno river, on the hills of the city. The park was created in the beginning of the 20th century; the discovery of the mineral water occurred in 1830
The Tozzoni Park, located on a big hilly area on the side of the city; it became a public area in 1978. The Tozzoni family bought the park in 1882 and used it as a hunting reserve, naming it Parco del Monte (Italian: Park of the Mountain).
Other buildings include the Farsetti and the Communal palaces. In the latter is a fresco representing Clement VII and Charles V (1535) passing through the city. The public library was established in 1747 by the Conventual Padre Setti. In the 16th century, the Accademia degli Industriosi flourished.

Milano Cripta di San Giovanni in Conca
Video Vittorio Innocente - The Crypt is located in Square Missori immersed in the traffic noise - From the Italian Touring Club: built in the early Christian period, the basilica of San Giovanni in Conca underwent various vicissitudes over time until, at the end of the thirteenth century, the mausoleum of the Visconti family. There were in fact placed the tombs of Queen of Scala and Bernabo Visconti, currently housed in the Museum of Ancient Art of the Sforzesco Castle in Milan with other finds from the church. In 1531 it was donated by Francesco II Sforza order of Carmelites, who made decorate the interior and the facade in baroque style by Francesco Castelli. Between the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries the church was desecrated by the Austrians and finally closed by the French, that they destined to the hardware store and wagons. For the opening of Via Mazzini, the aisles were demolished in 1879 and the bell tower (among the highest in the city), while the Gothic façade was applied to the apse. The building was later sold to the Waldensian that, at the time of the demolition, it recovered the facade and applied it to their new church in Via Francesco Sforza. In 1949 the church was finally demolished to make way for the road axis Albricci. The apse of the ancient basilica remain visible on the surface and the underground crypt, the only example of Romanesque crypt existing in Milan, where you can also admire Roman and medieval. The crypt of San Giovanni in Conca can be visited with free entry from Tuesday to Saturday from 9.30 to 17.30. This is made possible by the Volunteers of the Italian Touring Club and the initiative PLACES OPEN FOR YOU IN MILAN.
Video Vittorio Innocente - La Cripta si trova in piazza Missori immersa nei rumori del traffico cittadino - Da Touring Club Italiano: edificata in epoca paleocristiana, la basilica di S. Giovanni in Conca subì nel tempo diverse vicende fino a diventare, alla fine del XIII secolo, il mausoleo della famiglia Visconti. Vi vennero infatti collocati i monumenti funebri di Regina della Scala e di Bernabò Visconti, attualmente ospitati nel Museo di Arte Antica del Castello Sforzesco di Milano con altri reperti provenienti dalla chiesa. Nel 1531 fu donata da Francesco II Sforza all'ordine dei carmelitani, che fecero decorare l’interno e la facciata in stile barocco da Francesco Castelli. Tra il XVIII e il XIX secolo la chiesa venne sconsacrata dagli austriaci e definitivamente chiusa dai francesi, che la destinarono a magazzino di ferramenta e carri. Per l’apertura di via Mazzini, furono demoliti nel 1879 le navate e il campanile (fra i più alti della città), mentre la facciata gotica fu applicata all’abside. L’edificio fu in seguito venduto ai valdesi che, al momento della demolizione, ne recuperarono la facciata e la applicarono alla loro nuova chiesa di via Francesco Sforza. Nel 1949 la chiesa venne definitivamente demolita per realizzare l’asse viario di via Albricci. Dell’antica basilica rimangono la parte absidale visibile in superficie e la cripta ipogea, unico esempio di cripta romanica esistente a Milano, dove si possono anche ammirare reperti romani e medievali. La cripta di San Giovanni in Conca è visitabile con ingresso libero e gratuito dal martedì al sabato dalle 9.30 alle 17.30. Ciò è reso possibile dai Volontari del Touring Club Italiano e all'iniziativa I LUOGHI APERTI PER VOI A MILANO.
