Starting from the main spire of the Duomo, right under the Madonnina, Alberto crosses the city at night, discovering 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 Atlantic Codex. A journey into art that takes the viewer to the presence of Vinci's 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 into the history of the city, former capital of the Roman Empire, proud medieval municipality and one of the most splendid lordships with the Viscontis and the Sforzas. This route does not lack the most representative places of Milanese life today, such as the Central Station, the Gallery, the Navigli and the skyscrapers that have redesigned the skyline in recent decades.

Songs Overheard in the Shadows
Balanced on the edge of what is visible, everything comes from nothingness and returns to nothingness. Strands of consciousness trying to convene with each other. Forms of personal significance in a time of crisis, set free into random motion through chance operations. Recurring details point towards a center.
