The sacristy is now the Dominican cultural center, and often holds some salons and art exhibitions.Milan · 24.1 km from Busto Garolfo

This slightly legendary theater is regarded as the embodiment of beauty. ### Architectural History The opera house is the second theater rebuilt on its original site. The first theater, Teatro Ducale, was destroyed in a fire. Two years later, the opera house was constructed and opened on the site of the former Church of Santa Maria alla Scala. During World War II, the theater was bombed, leaving the entire auditorium in ruins. After the war, the Italian government allocated substantial funds to rebuild it to the highest standards of the time, making it one of the most beautiful theaters in the world. While the exterior appears simple and unadorned, the interior is unimaginably opulent. The theater is lavishly decorated, famous for its six-tiered gilded arches adorned with chandeliers and private boxes divided by red silk curtains. Watching a performance here is an unforgettable experience. ### Performances Known as the "heaven of opera," Teatro alla Scala hosts outstanding operas, concerts, and plays throughout the year, except in August.

For other performances, men must wear a suit and tie, while female attendees should also dress appropriately. ### Teatro alla Scala Museum If you're not attending a performance, visiting the theater's interior may be challenging.

The museum houses a collection of precious musical instruments, costumes, and extensive archives related to opera and Italian musicians, including portraits and sculptures. Exhibits on the museum floor are arranged chronologically, featuring early advertising posters for Verdi's operas and arm models, among other artifacts. ### Behind-the-Scenes Tour Visitors interested in a behind-the-scenes tour can make a reservation.

A Milan landmark, the castle was originally built in 1360 and rebuilt by the Sforza family in 1450. It is a typical Milanese Renaissance-style military castle. The red brick main structure, coupled with soaring towers, thick walls, and symmetrical arches, exudes grandeur and a vintage charm. The core courtyard and park are completely free, while the museums charge admission but the tickets are very low, and there are multiple free admissions.
The castle houses more than ten themed museums, somewhat scattered, but their collections are so valuable they can be considered miniature art palaces. You can encounter top-tier masterpieces without having to travel to major art museums. The most dazzling of these is Michelangelo's last sculpture, the Pietà of Rondanini, a masterpiece from his later years, possessing immense artistic value.
