.:. art  / 57 years after 
March 12 through June 28, 2015
9:30am-7:30pm, Thu and Sat till 10:30pm, Mon from 2.30pm. (Tickets sold till an hour and a half before closing time)

The arts that blossomed in Milan around the courts of the Viscontis (1277-1447) and the Sforzas (1450-1535) were already the focus of a major exhibition in 1958, held in the same place and under the same title as the present one. It celebrated the most glorious centuries in the political history of the city - till Da Vinci himself reached here in 1482 - but came to an end starting from 1494, when the "Great Italian Wars" began, involving mainly the Kingdom of France and the Hapsburg Empire.
.:. The Renaissance was certainly not born in Milan, and the names of the exhibited artists are not all well known by the general public. Statues by Bonino da Campione and Giovanni Antonio Amadeo stand out, as do illuminated manuscripts by Bonifacio Bembo and Michelino da Besozzo, and paintings by Vincenzo Foppa, Bernardino Butinone, Bernardo Zenale, Ambrogio Bergognone, Giovanni Antonio Boltraffio and Ambrogio de Predis. Yet the exhibition - organized by the City Council and Skira, a few weeks before the start of Expo 2015 - is impressive.
.:. The European dimension of Milan in those centuries is underlined by the institutions some of the exhibited works are on loan from - based in Paris, Avignon, Dijon and London.
