Starting from the main spire of the Cathedral, just below the Madonnina, Alberto crosses the city at night, to discover the more or less hidden treasures of the Lombard capital: from the stage of the Teatro alla Scala to the basilica of S. Ambrogio, from the Brera art gallery to the library Ambrosiana, custodian of Leonardo's priceless Codex Atlanticus. A journey through art that takes the viewer in front of the Last Supper but also among the "Seven Heavenly Palaces", the gigantic installation by Anselm Kiefer kept in the Pirelli Hangar Bicocca, or among the futurists of the Museo del Novecento. A journey through the history of the city, former capital of the Roman Empire, a proud medieval municipality and one of the most splendid lordships with the Visconti and Sforza. On this itinerary there are the most representative places of Milanese life today, such as the Central Station, the Galleria, the Navigli and the skyscrapers that have redesigned the skyline in recent decades.
