🇬🇧 The statue of Leonardo Da Vinci in Piazza

🇬🇧 The statue of Leonardo Da Vinci in Piazza della Scala, right in front of the @teatroallascala , has at its base the statues of four other protagonists of the Italian Renaissance. But who were these four pupils of the Master?

🇮🇹 La statua di Leonardo Da Vinci in Piazza della Scala, proprio di fronte al teatro, presenta alla sua base le statue di altri quattro protagonisti del rinascimento Italiano. Ma chi erano questi quattro allievi del Maestro?

🇬🇧 The "Palazzo dei Giureconsulti" was stron

🇬🇧 The "Palazzo dei Giureconsulti" was strongly wanted by the Milanese nobleman Giovanni Angelo Medici who in 1559 would become Holy Father with the name of Pius IV. The Palace was built starting from 1562 to house the so-called "Doctors", i.e. those who dealt with the administration of the city of Milan. Its characteristic element is certainly the clock tower that stands above the Piazza dei Mercanti. The building is particularly known for having housed the premises of the Milan Stock Exchange and, having become the property of the Chamber of Commerce, today it houses the offices of @visit_milano , the city's destination marketing organization.

🇮🇹 Il "Palazzo dei Giureconsulti" fu fortemente voluto dal nobile milanese Giovanni Angelo Medici che nel 1559 diverrà Santo Padre con il nome di Pio IV. Il Palazzo fu costruito a partire dal 1562 per ospitare i cosiddetti "Dottori" ossia coloro che si occupavano dell'amministrazione della città di Milano. Suo elemento caratteristico è certamente la torre dell'orologio che svetta sopra la Piazza dei Mercanti. Il palazzo è particolarmente noto per aver ospitato i locali della Borsa Valori di Milano e divenuto di proprietà della Camera di Commercio, oggi ospita gli uffici di Yes Milano, la destination marketing organization della città.

🇬🇧 It was by the will of Archduke Ferdinand

🇬🇧 It was by the will of Archduke Ferdinand of Austria that both the @teatroallascala and the @teatroliricogaber built in #milan in 1776. While the former was intended for the Milanese upper class and nobility, the latter aimed to welcome the rest of the population. Its current appearance is due to the #architect Antonio Cassi Ramelli who will take care of its restructuring following a fire that almost completely destroyed it. The theater now dedicated to Giorgio Gaber is also known by the Milanese as "La Canobbiana" because it was built on an area of the Canobbiane schools, founded by Paolo da Canobbio, a religious from Novara.

🇮🇹 Fu per volontà dell'archiduca Ferdinando d'Austria che nel 1776 a Milano si costruirono sia il teatro della Scala che il teatro Lirico. Mentre il primo era destinato all'alta borghesia e nobiltà milanese, il secondo ambiva ad accogliere il resto della popolazione. Il suo aspetto attuale si deve all'architetto Antonio Cassi Ramelli che si occuperà della sua ristrutturazione in seguito ad un incendio che lo distrusse quasi completamente. Il teatro oggi dedicato a Giorgio Gaber è conosciuto dai Milanesi anche come "La Canobbiana" perchè fu costruito su un area delle scuole Canobbiane, fondate da Paolo da Canobbio, religioso novarese.

🇬🇧 The Galleria del Corso, now substantially

🇬🇧 The Galleria del Corso, now substantially in disuse, was for a long time considered the younger sister of the more majestic Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II adjacent to the #duomodimilano This is because in addition to being very similar in its appearance (the marbles on the floor as well as the domed roof in glass and wrought iron) it has been a meeting place for decades due to the many restaurants and cinemas which until the early 2000s welcomed the citizens of Milan. The initial idea was already conceived from the 10s of the last century but its completion was long and by different architects who took turns for its #design.

🇮🇹 La Galleria del Corso oggi sostanzialmente in disuso, fu per molto tempo considerata la sorella minore della più maestosa Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II adiacente al Duomo. Questo perchè oltre ad essere molto simile nel suo aspetto ( i marmi sul pavimento così come il tetto a cupola in vetro e ferro battuto) è stata per diverso tempo luogo di ritrovo a causa dei diversi ristoranti e cinema che fino ai primi anni 2000 accoglievano i cittadini milanese. L'idea iniziale si ebbe già a partire dagli dieci del secolo scorso ma il suo completamento fu lungo e ad opera di diversi architetti che si sono alternati per la sua progettazione.
