21 Via San Vittore Milan, Milan 20123 Italy +39 2 481 6885 |
The main nucleus that developed around two twin cloisters was built by an ancient Benedictine Monastery which passed to the Olivetani order in 1500. Restructured with the help of Lombardi industrialists, it has housed the Museum since 1953. The Museum has developed in three buildings and three distinct parts: Monuments, Rail Transport, and Maritime Transport, including sections dedicated to fabric production, metallurgy, motors, transport, telecommunication, astronomy and information. Located in the same building that hosts the Museum of Science and Technology, it conserves history and technology of naval art over the century. Included are mercantile ship models, warship models, relics, models on the evolution of the Italian Navy from the XV Century. Special interest: the Venetian "Bucintoro" and the "tenda rossa" (red curtain) from the polar expedition with the "Italia" blimp driven by General Nobile. Admission: free. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Internationally renowned opera house |
Piazza della Scala Milan 20121 Italy +39 0288791 http://www.teatroallascala.org/ |
Conceived in 1776 as a fitting replacement for the Teatro Ducale (sadly destroyed by fire), the famous La Scala theatre has since become one of opera's legendary venues.

Works by Leonardo di Vinci |
2 Piazza Santa Maria Delle Grazie Milan, Milan 20123 Italy +39 2 8942 1146 http://www.cenacolovinciano.org/ |
The Museum occupies the antique rooms of the Rectory annexed to the Church of Santa Maria delle Grazie. On the inside back walls, Leonardo da Vinci painted, from 1495 to 1497, the famous Last Supper. The painting technique used by the artist as well as environmental conditions, have made the work very difficult to conserve. It has recently been re-opened after a very long, delicate and controversial restoration. Payment is with credit card only. Admission: EUR 8 (with reservation). Review © 2007, Wcities |

Raconti Incantevoli |
1 Largo Antonio Greppi Via Rovello Milan, Milan 20121 Italy +39 2 7233 3222 http://www.piccoloteatro.org/ |
Piccolo Teatro was founded in Milano in 1947 by Paolo Grassi and Giorgio Strehler. In Italy, this was the first example of a stable theatre company following the war. The curtain went up for the first time the night of May 14, 1947 with L'albergo dei poveri by Maxim Gorky. It has now grown to three performance rooms (one in via Rovello called Sala Grassi, an experimental theatre Teatro Studio opened in 1987, and the newest, Teatro Strehler) and is directed by Sergio Escobar, with production design by Luca Ronconi.

Quality jazz, blues, rock and fusion all feature on this well-known live music venue's program. Get here early, though; tables fill up quickly and it is often standing room only in this popular club. Drinks are available at the bar and the club restaurant situated in a small dining area away from the music serves good, reasonably priced food. Review © 2007, Wcities |
