The Arbour - Cuorebosco.
Lights sounds and misty trees where the ancient city rose.
A multimedia installation conceived by Attilio Stocchi.
"Milan had two well-defined hearts, which helped to shape its particular identify. The first was its Celtic heart, comprised of what is now the area around Piazza della Scala - Piazza San Fedele. Here, where the ground rose gently, the ancients were wont to worship a small wood that created an arbour sheltered by trees, a place they considered sacred.
[...] The aim of the project is to breath life bak into the first of these original nuclei, or city hearts, by turning Piazza San Fedele into a place that reverberates with its highly imaginative past.
[...] The spectator is thus confronted with a new, visionary Theatrum Naturae where the trees swathed in the Po Valley mist flourish once more, to the sound of that extraordinary chorus produced by the flying species that populated it: goldfinches, long-tailed tots, hoopoes, common redstarts, wagtails...
A sophisticated series of synchronised images, lights and sounds [and natural perfumes!] create a locus in which the spectator is taken through six episodes that bring various times of the day back to life, from daybreak to night [...]."
