Così, in questo particolare momento dove è vietato anche solo pensare al bianco manto per una “sciatina”, quasi a fare dispetto a tutti gli amanti degli sport invernali, ieri, come previsto dai meteorologi la città di Milano si è svegliata sotto la neve. Una fitta nevicata che nella notte ha imbiancato tetti e strade. Molti i genitori e bambini che hanno vissuto i parchi della città per fare a palle di neve in un contesto quasi surreale . 20 centimetri di neve che però hanno anche provocato diversi disagi nella città. Ma tutto già oggi è passato. In ricordo della giornata restano sicuramente i molti selfie in piazza Duomo davanti alla cattedrale coperta dalla coltre bianca.

COMING AGAIN
And tomorrow Christmas is coming again this year. Certainly different from the previous ones, and with many restrictions all arond the world. However, the thought of how to make a Christmas menu is there. First of all you need to know if Christmas will be celebrated at the table on Christmas Eve or at lunch on Christmas day. In general, those who prefer Christmas Eve dinner think of a fish-based menu. Meat is the protagonist for the Christmas lunch. For sweets, choosing is much easier. Panettone and pandoro are great classics, perhaps the only “classics” that we have left in these strange and alternative holidays. Anyway happy holidays.
SOLIDARITY
In this last year many restaurants have united with a common purpose, that of cooking for the most needy from the trattoria to the starred. The common denominator is that of solidarity, expressed through the preparation of meals, in accordance with the realities of popular distribution, at a time when the need for the weaker categories has grown considerably. 35,000 meals have been prepared in a city like Turin alone, but the project is much more ambitious, to make the “human zero km” a common trait and, if possible, a model to be copied.
CASA MUSEO
“La mia casa è un museo” è un’iniziativa dell’Associazione Amici del Museo Bagatti Valsecchi – in partnership con l’Associazione Luisa Berardi e il Comitato Quartieri Case Popolari Calvairate-Molise-Ponti – a favore di bambini e ragazze delle case popolari della zona 4 di Milano, con l’obiettivo di combattere l’esclusione sociale e la deprivazione culturale, acuite dai lunghi mesi di lockdown della primavera 2020 e, ora, dall’impossibilità di effettuare visite scolastiche, utilizzando l’arte come strumento di riscatto sociale ed evasione.
Il progetto mette in relazione due realtà vicine geograficamente ma molto diverse dal punto di vista della composizione sociale: i destinatari sono infatti i minori e le giovani mamme delle case popolari dei quartieri Calvairate Molise e Ponti, caratterizzati da elevati livelli di povertà e da un elevatissimo numero di immigrati, spesso ancora molto incerti nell’uso della lingua italiana, mentre il percorso ha il suo centro nella casa museo Bagatti Valsecchi di Via Gesù. Ed è proprio la sua identità di dimora ad agevolare l’avvicinamento dei destinatari attraverso una serie di temi non lontani dalla propria quotidianità, dal cibo all’abbigliamento, passando attraverso arredi e oggetti di uso quotidiano o legati a momenti particolari della vita, come le cerimonie per le nascite e i matrimoni. Un modo per incidere sulla loro percezione della cultura e dei luoghi del centro città creando appartenenza e consentendo loro di viverli con naturalezza e semplicità.
Il progetto necessita di fondi, parzialmente coperti con un finanziamento dalla Regione Lombardia, ed è adesso partita una campagna di raccolta fondi (ospitata dalla piattaforma Rete del Dono) volta a raggiungere l’obiettivo prefissato: offrire a 50 bambini della scuola primaria, mamme con bambini della scuola materna e adolescenti l’opportunità di avvicinarsi a un luogo magico come la casa museo Bagatti Valsecchi, uno scrigno denso di stimoli capaci di influire sui loro interessi e, di conseguenza, sui loro percorsi di studio e sulle possibilità di ingresso nel mercato del lavoro, elementi fondamentali per emergere dallo stato di povertà e isolamento in cui si trovano.
4 EVERY SEASON
From spring with flowering trees to winter with snow-capped mountains ready to welcome lovers of snow sports, Valtellina is a territory that can amaze its tourists in every season of the year. This is one of the most magical seasons where the landscape is colored with a thousand shades of red and orange and it is the best time to discover its spa with the first cold. The Bagni Vecchi with the natural Turkish bath and the infinity pool and the Bagni Nuovi with the mud room and the panoramic chalets for the sauna for an exclusive wellness experience. So first stop Bormio!
THE TRUFFLE
Humid and rainy days, and also this year, subject to the restrictions imposed by the pandemic, it will be possible to dedicate a few days to lovers to discover and taste the white truffle. It is a seasonal pleasure that can be enjoyed at the table, but not only. The ninetieth edition of the Truffle Fair is staged in Alba until December, while in Romagna there is “Tartòfla Savigno” while in Acqualagna, Marche, you can enjoy a complete olfactory and gustatory immersion. It is superfluous to suggest that you do not miss these occasions dedicated to good food.
IROSOMMELIERS
A very popular and unknown world at the same time: that of mineral waters. Did you know that there are real “water charts”, even in restaurants, to understand which mineral water is best suited not only to your palate or even to the chosen dish. To think that there are also “idrosommeliers” who can help and guide in tasting. Italians are the largest consumers of mineral water in the world but, despite this, education in tasting is not yet widespread.
CASTLE CELLARS
Authentic monuments of a family and an enoic tradition that is lost over the centuries, a journey in the beautiful country between past and present in the name of wine. The castle of Noarna in Trentino or the Castle of Fonterutoli of the Marquises Mazzei in Tuscany, the estate of the Counts Faina in Umbria or the Castello di Brolio, of the Ricasoli family in Tuscany, all surrounded by splendid vineyards. Active and open to visitors who want to combine tastings with a unique and exclusively Italian atmosphere.
THE HOLES
At a time when the health emergency requires social distancing for common security, in Florence the managers of some clubs have thought of finding the ideal solution, making a symbolic leap back in time and reopening the so-called “wine holes” with their original function. Born during the period of the plague, they were used to serve customers without coming into contact with them. An architectural expedient adopted in the seventeenth century by the Grand Duchy of Tuscany to implement a sort of remote trade. Through the window, the customer could withdraw the wine while remaining outside. So here they are, small windows on the walls of the oldest city buildings, positioned at street level, which are now being rediscovered at a time when Covid-19 has literally upset the rules of sociability, the economy and everyday life.
INTOLERANCES
Lately there are many food intolerances and one of the many is lactose, a sugar naturally contained in milk and all its derivatives. The highest concentrations of lactose are found in milk, yogurt and fermented milks, ice creams, soft cheeses, cream and butter. However, it is also contained in many industrial products and baked goods in which milk is used. Even if it is traumatic, the first thing to do afterwards in the event of a positive test result is to give up pizza, buffalo mozzarella and cappuccino overnight, which is very hard but necessary. Eliminating all foods that are potentially harmful to the body is the first step to regain well-being.
