They are followed by a band, shepherds, ladies in costume and people on horseback along via Torino and then down Porta Ticinese to the basilica of San Lorenzo. After a brief stop, the colourful convoy continues accompanied by King Herod and a troop of soldiers to its final destination - the basilica of Sant’Eustorgio – where the three kings deliver their gifts to a newborn baby who with its mother and father, await their arrival on a stage for all to see. The 6th January isn’t a random date; it’s the day on which Christians around the world commemorate the arrival of the Three Kings to that famous stable in Bethlehem with their precious gifts for the baby Jesus. This 1300 year old Milanese tradition has a history that dates back even further and is even more extraordinary. The cosy cloister used in summer for concerts and events and the bell tower with the star on top Let’s travel back to the year 340 AD, when Milan was burdened with religious riots between followers of Roman Catholicism and fans of Arianism. To settle the disputes, Emperor Constans gave a noble Greek named Eustorgius the task of uniting the conflicting groups. After his success, he was rewarded with another difficult task, to bring a very special gift to the newly reconciled people of Milan. This was not just any parcel, but an enormous marble sarcophagus containing the remains of the Three Kings which the Emperor’s grandmother had procured from the Holy Land some years before. Eustorgius was then obliged to transport the weighty gift over land and sea, back to Milan on a cart pulled by two strong cows. When he arrived in Milan, he decided to erect a chapel to house his important prize. The chapel grew over the years into an imposing basilica and a significant monastery. Sadly Milan was completely destroyed in March 1162 by the devastating violence of Emperor Frederick Barbarossa. The Archbishop of Cologne - Rainald Von Dassel seized the opportunity to grab the venerable remains of the Three Kings and take them to Germany leaving the giant ancient sarcophagus empty in the right wing of the basilica. The Milanese are bitter about it to this day. Since the laying of the first stone, the basilica has been rebuilt many times before becoming one of Milan’s most significant sacred sites with its important monastery. Today the monastery is no longer inhabited by monks, instead its walls house a splendid Museum. The Diocesan Museum collection features over 900 works of art of which almost 600 are on public display and divided into various sections. The Quadreria Arcivescovile gallery includes paintings by Tintoretto, Guido Reni, Giulio Cesare Procaccini, Alessandro Magnasco and Francesco Hayez. There are landscapes and perspectives dating back to the late 1600’s and the early 1770’s as well as several works from the Diocese itself dating from the 6th to the 19th century. This nucleus of works grew with the addition of a section dedicated to another important figure in Milan’s religious history - Saint Ambrose – featuring beautiful hand crafted gold items. Among these is the Capsella (shrine) from the 4th century – a small silver embossed box measuring 20 centimetres square which was possibly used by the saint in the year 386, and after gifted to emperor Honorius. (on the right). The Fondi Oro (Gold Back) section stands out for its collection of paintings on a golden background which were produced mainly in Tuscany during the 14th and 15th centuries, it also features sculptures and paintings and significant religious gold craft. The Museum also exhibits pieces by twentieth-century artists. An entire area is dedicated to the contemporary artist Lucio Fontana whilst a new part opened in September this year features pieces by well-known sculptors Floriano Bodini, Luciano Minguzzi and Francesco Messina. In addition to its own collections, the museum has also hosted several important exhibitions featuring paintings from all over the world. The Diocesan Museum offers a unique chance to appreciate art in an extraordinary, symbolic setting. It also offers initiatives for younger art fans thanks to its educational department which organises guided tours combined with art workshops for schools and families. During the week, the museum opens its doors to the city, presenting a variety of different cultural events including concerts, lectures, conferences and art history lessons, whilst in the summer guests can enjoy music in the cool shade of the cloisters. Anyone visiting this historic complex must cast their gaze up towards the top of the bell tower; there you will see that the traditional cross has been replaced by an artistic iron star, inviting people to continue following the celestial guiding comet as the Three Kings did centuries ago.

Also according to tradition, if the days of the blackbird are very cold, spring will be lovely; otherwise it will arrive late. It seems that Merla was the name given to a large cannon that could not be transported across the Po River on a boat, in order to carry it across they had to wait for the river to freeze. 16.00: Symphony music.

Post information, tel. 803160, Mon-Sat, 8.00-20.00, www. poste.it. • Public transport In Milan, buses, trams and metro (underground) trains are run by a company named ATM. Ordinary tickets cost €1.50 and can be obtained in Metro stations (newsagents, automatic machines, ticket offices in some stations), and from bars displaying the green and orange ATM sticker on the window. Weekly, monthly or yearly season tickets are available. The largest ATM ticket sales and info offices are the ATM Point information offices in Duomo, Cadorna, Centrale, Loreto and Romolo Metro stations, open Mon-Sat 7.45-19.00. The ordinary ticket should be franked using the machine as soon as you get on a bus or tram, or go through the Metro turnstiles, or before getting on an FNM train. The same ticket can be used for 90 minutes from the time franked on the ticket, with any combination of buses and trams (the magnetic ticket should be franked on every journey), but with just the one Metro journey, or one journey on a Passante Ferroviario train, or on a FNM train (within city limits). The one-day ticket (abbonamento giornaliero, €4.50) and the two-day ticket (abbonamento bigiornaliero, €8.25) last 24/48 hours respectively from the first franking: frank the magnetic ticket on every journey. The Metro system consists of 4 lines, number 1 (red), 2 (green), 3 (yellow), and the “Passante Ferroviario” (S trains). The FNM is the privately-run train service running from Stazione Nord in Piazza Cadorna. For info on FNM trains, there is an info office in the Cadorna station, open 7.00 to 20.00 every day. www.lenord.it Metro trains run from around 6.15 until 00.30, except on Saturday nights when trains run till about 02.00. During the night there is a replacement bus service for parts of lines 1 and 3. There are large interchange car parks at the stations Lampugnano, Bisceglie (MM1), Cascina Gobba, Famagosta (MM2), open 7.0001.00 (overnight parking possible). To get to the Rho Fiera trade fair district during fairs you can buy a return ticket at €5 (Andata/ritorno Rho Fiera) or a day ticket (Giornaliero fiera) €7. The normal one or two day ticket is not valid for getting to Rho Fiera. For public transport info, toll-free info at 800.808181 (7.30-19.30), www. atm-mi.it. The “Radiobus” service, operating from 20.00 to 02.00, is like a collective taxi service. A very comfortable air-conditioned minicoach picks you up and takes A book by Nicholas Stanley-Price The Non-Catholic Cemetery in Rome Its history, its people and its survival for 300 years Contents: • how the Cemetery has grown from its origins in the 18th century to today’s layout, drawing on extensive new research • who has been buried there, with notes on over 300 of them, ranging from diplomats to dancers and from sculptors to sailors, and an index of their grave locations • how it has survived various threats, such as a new road and tramline due to be built across the oldest graves • how its active use today is reconciled with increasing numbers of visitors. More than 80 illustrations, many of them little known and several not previously published Five maps specially drawn for the book On sale online at www.cemeteryrome.it/Stanley-PriceBook.html E18. you where you want to go. You have to book by phone at 02.4803.4803, preferably well in advance – say a few hours – or even just before your trip, but in this case you run the risk of not getting a place as well as spending ages listening to a recorded message. Cost €4 if you pay on the bus, less if you buy the ticket (ordinary ATM ticket + Radiobus ticket, total €3.50) in advance. This service may seem complicated, but it is so convenient and comfortable that it’s well worth the effort. • Railways Most trains leave from the Stazione Centrale. Train information can be obtained from the information office at the station, or by phone, 892021, or best of all by Internet (www. trenitalia.com). Remember that any train ticket should be franked using the yellow machines situated at the near end of the platforms, just before boarding the train. A return ticket should be franked again before the return journey. If you forget, you will be fined! If you do forget, find the conductor on the train as soon as possible, and the fine will be reduced. For many trains, seat booking is obligatory. In any case it is a good idea to buy your ticket early (at least the day before) and book your seat (small extra charge). Saves frustration queuing while your train is about to depart. Be sure to claim your booked seat within ten minutes after departure. For the differently abled and people with sight problems, there is a phone number for the whole of Italy: 199.30.30.60, operating every day, 7.00-21.00. Ferrovie Nord trains leave from Cadorna and run to various locations north of Milan, including the lakes and Malpensa airport. See www.lenord.it • Safety and security In Milan, like most large cities, there is a problem of small time theft. Take care of personal possessions at all times! Don’t leave your bags unattended even for a moment, particularly in crowded locations like Piazza Duomo and Galleria Vittorio Emanuele. Also take care in and around the Central Station, and when on trams and metro during the rush hour. If, at the station or airport, someone approaches you and offers you a taxi, this is not the normal taxi and it will cost much more. This is happening particularly at Linate airport, the taxi turns out to be a chauffeur-driven car with a bill to match. Beware of buying fake merchandise on the street, it will be low quality and it’s also against the law. People selling roses in restaurants have nothing to do with the restaurant, just say no (unless you want one, of course!). If you give money to the many beggars in the city and on the Metro trains you are financing organized crime. • Taxis It is almost impossible to stop a taxi on the street in Milan: you have to locate one of the taxi-ranks (see map pages), or call one of the radio taxi firms (02.4040, 02.8585, 02.4000, 02.6969). A few taxis accept credit cards. If in doubt about price, ask the driver for an estimate before setting off. On-line estimates at www.milanotaxi.it • Telephones The 02 dialling code for Milan has now been incorporated into phone numbers. Even when you call a Milan number from within the city of Milan, you have to include the 02 prefix. If you are calling Italy from abroad, you have to include the “0” of this prefix, ie +39.02.(number). Numbers starting 339, 347, 348 etc. are for mobile phones, these calls cost more. Numbers starting with 0 are for fixed phones, 1 for public utilities (police etc.), 3 for mobiles, 8 for toll-free numbers. The ticket office is in Duomo metro station. It is open every day 12.00-18.00 (closed public holidays and August). Payment in Euro cash or by credit card. For information on ticket availability, phone the Scala Infotel Service, tel. 02.7200.3744, from 9.00 to 18.00, every day of the week. To buy tickets by phone – up to two weeks before the performance – tel. 02.860.775. This is a computerized system operating at all times, in English, Italian, German and French.

Transport: to get to the stadium before the match, MM1 Lotto then free shuttle bus, or tram 16 from MM1 De Angeli. Seats are numbered, and so in theory you can get there any time: however it’s best to get to the stadium a bit early just to savour the pre-match entertainment. After the game, there are no shuttle buses, and so you can either walk to MM1 Lotto (15-20 minutes) or to Piazzale Axum to take tram 16 back to MM1 De Angeli or into the centre (MM1 Duomo). • Toilets There are public toilets (not free) in some Metro stations, at railway stations, and in various municipal museums. • Tourist offices • IAT, Piazza Castello 1 (M1 Cairoli).
