Despre activitate

Embark on a fascinating 2-hour walking tour through the historic center of Milan that will take you back in time to discover the harrowing days of World War II. We will uncover hidden scars of a past that shaped the Milan we know today, discovering how everyday landmarks hide the history of those turbulent times. From the air shelters that once protected citizens to the buildings that survived the bombings, you’ll see Milan with fresh eyes. Along the way, your guide will share compelling tales of courageous men and women, from the antifascist resistance to the impact of Nazi-fascist oppression, hearing about the tragic fate of the Jewish community in Milan. This is a journey of memory and reflection—a chance to witness how Milan, battered by war, rose from the ashes to become the vibrant, resilient city it is today. The tour will conclude with a delightful aperitif, offering a chance to relax and reflect on the stories you’ve heard while enjoying the vibrant atmosphere of Milan today.

Itinerar

  1. Piazza San Sepolcro

    Trecere fără oprire

    March 23, 1919, is a pivotal date in Italian history. That day, in Milan’s Piazza San Sepolcro, on the first floor of the 15th-century Palazzo Castani, former socialist Benito Mussolini founded the Italian Fascist Combat Groups (Fasci italiani di combattimento).

  2. Duomo Di Milano

    Trecere fără oprire

    During World War II, Milan was bombed multiple times, with the most catastrophic raid taking place on the night of August 1943. In a single night, the city was struck three times, reducing large areas to rubble. Even the iconic Duomo was not spared from the destruction. In total, 504 aircraft were sent to devastate Milan, leaving an indelible mark on the city's history.

  3. Piazza Mercanti

    Trecere fără oprire

    The Merchant's Loggia stands as a powerful symbol of Milanese resistance. Here, you will discover the poignant stories of the fallen partisans, their names commemorated on 19 plaques, each representing a chapter of courage and sacrifice in the fight for freedom.

  4. Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II

    Trecere fără oprire

    Just a short walk from the Galleria, the Albergo Regina is a luxurious hotel built in the late 19th century within an aristocratic palace on Via dei Librai. In 1943, it was occupied by the Waffen-SS Adolf Hitler division and became a notorious detention center for partisans, Jews, and civilians suspected of aiding the Resistance, earning the infamous nickname 'Hotel Gestapo' among the Milanese.

  5. Piazza San Fedele

    Trecere fără oprire

    The square is named after the 16th-century Church of San Fedele, which overlooks it. It was heavily damaged during World War II by Anglo-American bombings and was destroyed on three sides. Only the monument to Alessandro Manzoni (1883), whose family home was in nearby Piazza Belgiojoso, survived in the center.

  6. Palazzo Marino

    Trecere fără oprire

    Palazzo Marino, a 16th-century masterpiece, has been the seat of the Municipality of Milan since September 1861, the year of Italy's Unification. During World War II, it was heavily bombed.

  7. Teatro Alla Scala

    Trecere fără oprire

    Teatro alla Scala is one of the most significant cultural landmarks in Italy and Europe. It was severely damaged during the Royal Air Force's Allied bombing raids on the night of August 15-16, 1943. Its roof was shattered and covered with temporary roofing until restoration work began.
