From Loughborough to two of the world most famous icon of arts, the
Last Supper by Leonardo da Vinci and the opera house La Scala.
A group learning Italian at Burleigh College’s Monday evening class
have been practicing their skills in the country for the third year
running, this time discovering Milan, the economic capital of the
north.
Led by their teacher, Silvia Guzzetti, they spent a morning admiring
the “Cenacolo”, miraculously survived to the second world war and
visited the Castello Sforzesco, a massive manor house built in the
14th century.
Once at “La Scala”, for a performance of “La Tosca”, they were able to
visit the stage and the orchestra. On the last day they were welcomed
by the showroom of Enrico Coveri, one of Italy’s most famous fashion
designer.
They stayed on the "Navigli", a picturesque part of Milan where the
canals of water, once used for transport, are tasting the highlights
of Milanese cuisine "risotto" and "cotoletta".
