by MVMT
Michaelangelo’s third essay of the Christian emblem of pity and mourning, the Rondanini Pietà in Milan, was his last sculpture; he was at work on it only a few days before his death.
The opportunity of being able to see Michaelangelo’s trinity of Pietàs confronted me with an astonishing concentration of the essence of faith, hope and suffering. Indeed, as the perfection of the first Pietà falls to the careworn communion of the second, and then to the rough-hewn yearning of the final sculpture, one recognises the dizzying spectrum of our experience in all its contradictions, the miraculous sublimity of divinity giving way to the labours of the beings who must struggle to find their human features through the obdurate stone of mortality and grief.
Museo del martirio e della Tortura

Well, we were told that the museum doesn't exist now... but even a look at the name of the museum made us shudder. Well, I know there are other similar museums (for instance, one in Santillana del Mar, Spain), but the words "martyrdom" and "torture" together caused us a great impression...
Bueno, nos dijeron que el museo no existe ahora mismo... pero con sólo echarle una ojeada al nombre del museo, nos estremecimos. Vale, sé que hay otros museos similares (por ejemplo, en Santillana del Mar), pero las palabras "martirio" y "tortura" juntas nos causaron impresión: nos dieron ganas de salir corriendo

Metro in Milan, fast and easy!
by fonden
Getting around in Milan with the metro is both easy and affordable. One ticket cost 1€ and works for an hour. A one-day ticket cost 3€. (I think you can use the same tickets at the buses too.) The trains are really clean and feels safe. The metro is opened from 6:15 to 00:14. You can get tickets at bars, tobacconists, stationery shops, newsstands, station agents and automatic multi-tariff dispensers. No problems at all!

More flying tips. If you can, try to fly into Linate as it is closest to the city centre. On arrival there are two buses you can take. As you walk out of the airport almost straight in front of you there should be an orange bus which costs 1€ and takes you into San Babila which is about 2 minutes from the Duomo. Alternatively get the blue STAM bus which costs 2€ and takes you to the central station. Easy Peasy! Alternatively you cold queue for hours for a taxi which would cost about 20€ Personally if you are visiting places or going to hotels I would get the bus into town and then get a taxi as the queues outside Linate for taxis are always horrendous...
