In order to fight any further diffusion of COVID-19, public and private meetings are strongly discouraged in all the country.
People must stay at home. A distance of a meter or so is kept in case of any personal encounters. Webcams have temporarily become the default communication tool.
Shops, bars, restaurants, museums, exhibitions, theaters, concert halls and cinemas are closed till Monday, April 13 at least; so are schools and universities. Supermarkets, pharmacies, tobacconists and computer shops are allowed to make exceptions to the rule. Sport events have been suspended at all. More official news here.

The park that includes the Triennale used to be a "piazza d'armi", i.e. a training ground for the armed forces. Turned into a public recreation area in 1893, it was named after a nearby thoroughfare, starting point of the route to the Simplon Pass, where a railway tunnel was opened in 1906.

The Triennale has left some testimonials of its past exhibitions amidst the greenery: the most interesting is the Torre Branca.

At the far end of the Sempione park is the imposing Arco della Pace.
