Discovering Milan ….. without leaving Manchester.

Now here is one to do.

Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, Milan 2009
Sunday 19 January 2020 -  4.30pm for 4.45pm start.

Cross Street Chapel, Cross Street, Manchester M2 1NL.

The Dante Society, is hosting a talk by Angelo Farnetano, who will offer a description of this fascinating and dynamic Italian city featuring its “main treasures, its life and its secrets, all accompanied with a selection of popular music. 

The lecture will take us for an imaginary tour around the city discovering its main treasures, its life and its secrets. Some songs will be played during this walk to add a bit of flavour to the visit.

 Some of the places which will be visited are:

Piazza Duomo, piazza dei Mercanti, piazza S. Alessandro, Chiesa di San Satiro and Castello Sforzesco.

 The talk will be followed by a social gathering with a glass of wine and nibbles.


With the Dante Society, Manchester, 2017
Admission: £ 2.00 members – £ 3.50 non-members”*

 To better arrange the necessary refreshments, it would be helpful if you could book in advance by emailing us at dante@newfuture.org "*

So, that just leaves me to to go back to Milan Milan, because just after this story went live, Dave Wilkinson sent over his own picture of Milan.

Adding, "Literally in Milan right now!"

And because you can never get enough pictures of the Galleria Vittorio Emanuelle II, I just had to include it.

Dave commented, "This was taken with my phone, I have loads more I have taken with my DSLR camera that I’ll be editing once I’m home today".

Now I bet we would all like to see them.
