Dear Friends,
We are happy to present to you the Fall Program 2017, which you can download (in Italian), clicking on this link
Here are the first two events:
- Thursday, Sept. 28, 2017 – Day Trip (in Italian)
Day Trip to Franciacorta
We will visit the 1000-year old Monastery of St. Peter in Lamosa overlooking the evocative peat bogs of the Natural Park of Sebino; the Bornato Castle, a 13th century fort, which was transformed in the 16th century into a patrician villa with frescoed rooms, precious furnishings, and a large park with centuries-old trees and Italian and English gardens; a burg with a long history, Iseo, immersed in a picturesque lakeside landscape rich with natural beauty; and, finally, founded in Rodengo in the 11th century by monks of the Cluny order, the Abbey of St. Nicholas and its annexed church with frescoes and splendid intarsia choir stalls, as well as three evocative cloisters with important pictorial works
Cultural assistant: Rosy Bruni Fossati - Wednesday, Oct. 11, 2017 – guided visit (in Italian)
Dentro Caravaggio (Inside Caravaggio) at the Royal Palace
Milan once again honors this great artist with the exhibit Inside Caravaggio. Eighteen masterpieces by the master are reunited all together here for the first time. It is a unique exhibit, not only because it presents to the public works coming from principal Italian and foreign museums, but also because the canvasses of Caravaggio will be flanked for the first time by their Xray images, which will allow the public to follow and to discover the artist’s techniques and thought, from the original inspiration to the final version of the work, thanks to an innovative use of multimedia
Cultural assistant: dott.ssa Alessandra Berlanda
