The trouble had been brewing for years. Nationalists were agitating for Italian unification, Catholics vied for Popish prominence, but the intelligentsia was united in believing the Austrians would have to go. Manzoni’s great novel, I Promessi Spossi, had been published in 1827 and was understood by many to be a thinly veiled critique of the oppressor. Austrian rule was slow, beaurocratic, and largely unsympathetic to the needs of its conquered people. Food riots raged throughout the 1840s as Italian agriculture suffered heavy competition from more efficient producers in the Austrian empire. Taxes were high and collected punctiliously. On New Year’s day in 1848 a note was posted on the ancient Roman statue, the Omm de Preja (Man of Stone) - a ‘talking statue’, a focal point for political cartoons and sloganeering - urging the people to boycott two major Austrian monopolies: tobacco and gambling. These businesses were worth around five million lire a year. Tempers flared and people took to the streets. Clearly no expert in low-level diplomacy, the viceroy of Lombardy supplied his police with quantities of brandy and ordered them out ostentatiously smoking cigars. Drunk and disorderly they attacked passersby, trying to force them to smoke, often at knifepoint. After a few days of exchanged insults and attacks a street battle broke out and the military charged at the crowds with their bayonets. Five men died and almost eighty were wounded. The head of the Austrian army, the eighty-two year old Field Marshal Radetzky, was appalled at the actions of his troops and confined them to barracks for five days. Peace returned to the streets, but in March news came that Vienna was in turmoil as the Chancellor of State and anti-Italian unification politician, Metternich, had been dismissed. Venice had revolted and the kingdom of Sardinia was on the rise. The flame of rebellion reignited and the population once again took to the streets. Surprised, Radetzky barracked himself and his 8,000 troops inside the Castello Sforzesco, also holding the Duomo, which swiftly and shamefully became an effective firing range. The Milanese raided museums and cellars for ancient weaponry they could use against the Austrian soldiers. This was March 18th and the beginning of what became known as the Cinque Giornate, and the First War of Italian Independence. There are many bloody and dramatic paintings depicting the struggle at the Museo di Milano e Storia Contemporanea on via Sant Andrea near Via Montenapoleone. One can see houses emptied of furniture with huge barricades of tables and wardrobes raised in the streets. Desperate homeowners crouch at windows and rooftops shooting at the advancing Austrians. On March 20th they took back the Duomo and hung an Italian flag across the Madoninna statue on her summit and the city formed a council of war. Ideological differences were set aside and Mayor Cabrio Casati led the push, supported by Republican journalist Carlo Cattaneo. First and ingeniously they turned their attention to building hot air balloons, which could then travel over the walls and call on the Piedemont army and the agricultural peasantry to join in the fight. Effective communications within the town were achieved by the courageous ‘Martinitt’ children from an orphanage of the same name, who worked as message carriers, running through the streets in peril of their lives as shots rang out around their heads. Radetsky fought the people for three days before offering a truce, which Cattaneo rejected. Finally, a military school professor, Carnevali, suggested using mobile barricades: wet bundles three meters wide, which wouldn’t catch fire as the men rolled them in front, shielding themselves from Austrian bullets. Intense fighting combined with the threat of the arriving army and peasantry forced Radetzky to plan a withdrawal, which he carried out overnight from Porta Tosa. Much blood was shed here, and the gate was thereafter known as Porta Vittoria. Milan celebrated her victory and independence on March 22nd, although it was not to be long-lasting. This final bloody battle is also commemorated by what is now known as Piazza Cinque Giornate, The Omm de Preja one of the so called “talking statues” is in Corso Vittorio Emanuele 13 near Porta Vittoria, home to an imposing obelisk monument, designed by Giuseppe Grandi. The granite base conceals a crypt where remains of many of the fallen were interred; their names can be seen carved around the central column. The fight is personified in the figures of several rather scantily clad women carved out of the rock, and a lion symbolized the heroism of the Milanese, while an eagle tells of the ferocious Austrian oppression. The Omm de Preja has moved from his wartime location on via San Pietro Orto, and can now be seen on Corso Vittorio Emmanuele, 13. Alison Micklem o l l eilano hm what’s on page 2 March 2015 March highlights Wheatfield Last February, the American artist Agnes Denes invited the Milanese to sow 1250 Kg. of wheat, on 12 acres, in the city district called Porta Nuova, where a proper field was set up with 15.500 cubic meters of soil. This art performance, which will be maintained until the end of Expo2015 in October, aims to highlight important values underrated by modern globalization, such as food, energy and protecting the environment … A similar performance, on 2.5 acres was realized in New York in 1982, and is still remembered in America as one of the most famous works of art. The site is near Bosco Verticale, in the historical district between Via De Castilla and Via Confalonieri • M2 Gioia, M5 Isola Beauty in the sewer covers As a new sort of street art, 24 sewer covers along Via Montenapoleone and Via Sant’Andrea have been styled by top fashion designers such as Giorgio Armani, Just Cavalli, Etro, Missoni, Larusmiani, Laura Biagiotti, Costume National, Moschino, 10 Corso Como, Prada, Trussardi, DSquared2, Versace, Iceberg, Brunello Cucinelli, Hogan, Alberta Ferretti, Valentino, Salvatore Ferragamo, Emilio Pucci, Giuseppe Zanotti Design, Ermenegildo Zegna.

Info at http://users. unimi.it/cssu/ • Personal identity It is a good idea to have your passport or ID card with you at all times, as you may be asked for it in the most surprising of situations (using a library, Internet café, etc.) • Postage Post offices are marked with a yellow “PT” sign. The central post office for letters, parcels etc. is in Via Cordusio 4, open Mon-Fri 8.00-19.00; Sat 8.30-12.00, Sun closed.

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 7.45-19.00. 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 you where you want to go. You have to book by phone Don’t miss Apulia’s treasures Apulia “trulli” Apulia food Apulia sea Apulia vacations www.mtvpuglia.it 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 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.

Milan’s matches can be purchased at: • Branches of Banca Intesa • Milan Point shop, Piazza XXIV Maggio on corner with Via San Gottardo. Tel. 02.8942.2711, 02.8942.2567. Open Tues-Sat 10.00-19.00.

See also www. acmilan. com Tickets for Inter’s matches can be purchased at: • Banca Popolare di Milano. You may be asked for your personal ID when buying tickets and when at the match. 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 (M1 Duomo). • Toilets There are public toilets (not free) in some Metro stations, at railway stations, and in various municipal museums. • Tourist offices • IAT, Galleria Vittorio Emanuele, corner Piazza Scala • M1/3 Duomo.
