In the queue in
the rain! A 20 min
wait & in we
went. An
introduction &
video about
what's involved in setting up art exhibitions - it was
certainly interesting to have a bird's eye view of
behind the scenes.
After the video we went into another room where the
guide told us about Caravaggio himself - a very hotheaded young man, but in keeping with the times - &
from there into another room to see the painting itself.

LEONARDO...
Revisitied in Milan
by Lia Orlandi
Leonardo haunted my school years in a way or another. He was referred to in most subjects, and his scientific intuitions were connected with most invention occurring centuries later.
Not to mention all the.fuss about La GIOCONDA.
Around the world there are copies and
imitations of
this mythical femme fatale by his contemporaries
down to modern artists, like Lger, Duchamp, Dali,
Warhol, and also in other
irreverent versions
whether naked or with
moustaches. Who was she?
Or was he a man? Or a trans (though the girls from
my generation would not even dare to utter that
word!)?
Still his skill as an artist ranked only at the tenth place
within the curriculum introducing him to
Ludovico il
Moro in Milan around 1482.

FREE Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) Therapy Session
Long popular in Japan, magnet therapy has athletes like golfers and tennis players extolling the
virtues of magnets in the treatment of sports-related injuries. Pulsed Electromagnetic Field
Therapy or PEMF therapy has been used to stimulate bone repair in non-union and other fractures
since the 1970s. Although bone has a remarkable capacity to heal from injury, in some cases
the broken ends do not join: these are called non-union fractures.
PEMF therapy has shown promise for other conditions as well. Many studies show its benefits
in healing soft-tissue wounds, suppressing inflammatory responses at the cell membrane level
to alleviate pain, and increase range of motion.
PEMF therapy has been used to treat patients for pain relief and these common ailments:
ACL Injuries, Arthritis, Edema and Swelling, Fibromyalgia, Fracture Healing, Joint Problems,
Lack of Circulation, Migraines, Osteoporosis, Rheumatic pain, Skin wound healing, Soft tissue
injuries (back pain and spinal conditions, cervical neck pain, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome,
myofascial trigger points, epicondylitis also known as Tennis Elbow, sprains, strains including
repetitive strain injuries, tendinopathies, Plantar Fasciitis) and other, various Sports Injuries
Results like less pain, a reduction in swelling, and an increased range of motion in the affected
areas have been reported.
Dr. Giovanni Bisanti, Chiropractic Neurologist (USA) for over 25 years and Associazione
Italiana Chiropratici Member, has successfully treated a variety of the above ailments. He has
also been able to help local stroke patients with their rehabilitation using the new PEMF
machine. He invites Benvenuto Monza members to try it for free at:
Chirosport
46 Cesare Battisti
Vedano al Lambro (Monza della Brianza)
You can schedule your free session today by calling 039.390.0097

Womens Social Clubs and Penitent Processions
By Rachel Martin
Mummy, can we follow the procession? my
younger son asks me, and thus we're walking
down the street of a seaside town in southern
Spain. It's Easter Sunday, Christ has risen and the
black near-macabre mourning robes of the Good
Friday pentinents have given way to a dignified
celebration of red robes, women with high
mantillas and children in their Sunday best.
Bedspreads and eiderdowns are hung from
balconies and windows and streets adorned with
flowers and rosemary to perfume the air. Yet
rosemary will always be for remembrance,
although today I am not quite sure what it is I'm
remembering whereas my younger son is so
serene and respectful that I wonder if maybe he
knows already and it is I who have failed to
understand. And as I walk slowly along the
cobbled streets to the intermittent outbursts of the
town's brass bands I envy this sense of belonging
that binds and draws this town together in the sunbaked south of Andalucia.
Several weeks later and I'm sitting in the park on
the hill in my village in the heart of Brianza. The
sun is shining and the mountains have donned
their very best finery. Look to the right and you
see the jagged saw-like Resegone and the peaks
of Grigna and Grignetta, while to the left Monte
Rosa flirts behind the warm hazy blue of what
feels like early summer; Monte Rosa, queen of the
snow-topped peaks that remind you of the beauty
of the universe. If as Hopkins claimed the world is
charged with the grandeur of God, then here it is
indeed. These are the days when I set off along
country paths and through fields past a memory of
agriculture retained in the various allotments.
These are the days when I feel like there is no
more beautiful place on earth and feel thankful
that I live, here and now.
But let's go back to the park. We're all there today,
children, mothers and grandmothers and a handful
of older women whose grandchildren have grown
or never arrived at all. We're talking about the
usual: so-and-so is pregnant, another has given
birth and we're sorry another has died. Now it's
about religion, brought on by talk of the village
priests.
W.O.M.B.
Maria Grisolia. Age 97
(mother of Lia Orlandi)
When and Why did you join Benvenuto? At the end of the war it was hard for a lot of
When? I don't remember... it was long long time
ago....
I was still living in Rome, coming quite often to
Monza visiting my daughter's family. I was
practically adopted by the Benvenuto members
right away, and invited to join their events. I liked it
immediately! I still treasure a Benvenuto trip to
Verdi's home and theatre at Busseto.
I also had opportunities to travel with some of the
ladies, touring (turning to Lia with some emotion,
trying to remember) India China Australia South
Africa.

EXPO
MILANO
dresses up for
EXPO 2015
by Lia Orlandi
EXPO
...Continued from previous page
tion is drawn by a precious diptych, reassembling
two panels from Prague, by Francesco Zavattari
(an artist from the same family known for the frescoes in Theodolindas Chapel at the Duomo of
Monza).
The fourth section focuses on the end of the Viscontis power followed by the Sforzas rule with
FRANCESCO SFORZA (around 1450) till the end
of GALEAZZO MARIA SFORZAs government.
Francesco Sforzas initiatives are in line with the
past , but include also new experiences favoured
by political alliances, as the basis of the Dukes
power.
Also the decision of moving the Court residence to
Milan from Pavia makes room for extra working
power and new tendencies). Big workshops share
huge commissions for decorating the Castello
Sforzesco in Milan.
The last section covers the age of LUDOVICO il
MORO till his fall and the French troops invasion.
In spite of political and financial crisis trading is
still in full rhythm. These are years of radical
changes in town-planning, architecture and artistic
production altogether, thanks to such personalities
as Bramante and Leonardo.
Emphasizing the innate skill for trading and manufacturing Milan produces and exports wonderful
luxury products, such as enamels, jewels, embroideries mainly based on famous artists drafts, forerunner of the approach in modern design. The
Dukes ambition encourages competition with other Courts in spite of family ties, especially with
Ferrara, Bologna, Mantova.
Again precious works of jewellery, reliquaries,
medals, missals, bronzes, manuscripts show the
advanced skills of Lombard artecraft.
Special attention is finally dedicated to LEONARDOs and BRAMANTEs years of residence in Milan, and their impact on Lombard artists.
Besides the Palazzo Reale another very interesting exhibition is held at the Brera Gallery introducing BRAMANTE not so much as an architect, but
as a painter through a series of captivating frescoes.
Future unmissable events will include GIOTTO
and his years in Milan, and a huge undertaking
on LEONARDOs multifaceted genius.
