They were aided in their daily chores by all sorts of prehistoric equipment such as a car with stone wheels; a baby woolly mammoth used as a vacuum cleaner; an adult woolly mammoth acting as a shower by spraying water with its trunk; elevators raised and lowered by ropes around brontosauruses’ necks; “automatic” windows powered by monkeys on the outside …. and so on. Certainly these Hanna and Barbera cartoons were the delight of both young and old when watching the TV in the 60’s, but now they could be a sort of useful preparation for our prehistoric future. In fact now in America there are scientists who assure us that in something like 10 years, they will be able to replicate and clone a live dinosaur. Yes, this is for real, according to the paleontologist Jack Horner who worked on “Jurassic World” and the “Jurassic Park” series of films! In fact, since 1993, when the first Jurassic movie came out, he has been working together with the newly-graduated paleontologist Mary Schweitzer. According to their studies, and contrary to the plot of the film, no one has ever found intact dinosaur DNA, since it starts coming apart as soon as a cell dies, and it is certain that there isn’t any trapped in something like amber, however, it could be possible to extract it from dinosaur bones. Leaving aside the solution in the film, which was to fill in the gaps in the dino DNA with frog DNA, since this would simply create a frog, Horner says that is important to understand that on our planet some direct descendants of dinosaurs are still thriving, namely our birds, who are specifically avian dinosaurs. Even though over time, their snouts turned into beaks, their tails disappeared, and their prehis- The three bones found, positioned on a silhouette of a Titanosaurus. Drawing by Marco Auditore toric limbs evolved into more modern plumed wings, birds have certainly maintained genes of their tails, or arms, or snouts, and presumably, those traits exist inactive in their genetic code, together with the newer genes for wings, feathered tails and beaks. Horner thinks that it is possible to suppress those new genes and dig up the dinosaur’s instead. Apparently he is ready for this challenge. The bird elected for the experiments is one we’re all familiar with, a chicken, which after some attempts will probably produce a “chickenosaurus,” or alias a “dino-chicken”, possibly a small, feathered creature, with a tail that helps it balance, two small arms with claws, and a toothy snout, instead of a beak. Paleontologists remind us that “velociraptors” were just the size of a large turkey. Well, this quite incredible story is just a way to announce something which recently happened in Milan, since for the first time a team of paleontologists from our Natural History Museum, lead by Cristiano Dal Sasso, publicly displayed the remains of a “Titanosaurus”, a titanic lizard, which was the biggest animal ever to have existed on earth. Titanosaurus belongs to the sauropod dinosaur family which was first described by paleontologists in 1877. They are estimated to have grown up to 12 meters long and about 13 tons in weight. The bones exhibited in Milan, just one vertebrae and two pelvic fragments, belonged in fact to this kind of long-necked four-footed herbivore, nicknamed Tito, who probably measured “only” about six meters in length and weighed some 600 kilos, since possibly he was not yet fully grown when he died. According to what paleontologists said; “Those bones are unique in the world, and we might even be faced with a new species” that possibly reached Italy by walking from Africa around 112 million years ago. These fragments of an African migrant puppy were recently discovered in the Prenestine Hills near Rome, and are reshaping prehistoric European geography for researchers, demonstrating that Italy in those times was linked to In the MSN Milan Paleontology laboratory, Fabio Fogliazza skilfully uses a pneumatic bit to remove the rock which has entrapped Tito’s vertebra for 112 million years Photo by Cristiano Dal Sasso Africa and normally used as a passage towards the North by crossing the Tetide sea, progenitor of the Mediterranean. Knowing all this, do you think that maybe, in a not so distant prehistoric future, we’ll be keeping a dino-chicken similar to the Flintstones Dinodog in our gardens, and perhaps even have a titanic long-necked creature similar to Tito, helping us with our heavier chores? Those interested can pay a visit to Tito’s bones in our Museo di Storia Naturale, Corso Venezia 55. • M1 Palestro Please take notice that opening times and fees could be changed without notice page 2 What’s On May 2016 May highlights Musical See www.ticketone.it for details.

From here, ferries and hydrofoils will take you all over the lake, and a bus to Bellagio offers a cheap and picturesque alternative to boat transport.

If you leave something in a taxi, you may have a chance of getting it back if you have the receipt for the taxi ride (which has the taxi’s ID on it) and the phone number of the radio-paging service.

Italian first day covers and other philatelic products are sold at Via Cordusio 4. 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 7.4519.00. 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 twoday 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 7.00-01.00 (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 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 is incorporated into phone numbers. 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. • Ticket info: Teatro alla Scala 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 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.
