Villa Litta di Lainate, a weekend between Nymphaeum, pizzoccheri and jazz on October 10-11
The Historic Park Day returns with the Lombard Bistro, performances, guided tours and meetings with Mussida, Savignano and Vitali
Villa Litta di Lainate returns as the main attraction on Saturday 10 and Sunday 11 October with the Historic Park Day, two days dedicated to botanical heritage and Lombard tradition, as Il Giorno reports. The event is titled "Lombardy, what a show!" and offers a journey through gastronomy, music, theater and nature.
The Lombard Bistro and gastronomy
The heart of the event is the Levati Hall, set up as a tavern from times past: here you can taste typical dishes such as Risotto alla Monzese with saffron and luganega, Valtellina pizzoccheri and Milanese Mondeghili, as well as desserts like Sbrisolona and Panettone by Adriano Asperti. The wine and drink selection ranges from Barbera d'Oltrepò to Riesling, to Passito di Verdea. Between bites, music and dialect stories alternate with Barbapedana, Pongo and the Letture Incrociate group together with actress Carla Gasparini.
Meetings and performances
On Saturday at 3:30 PM guitarist Franco Mussida presents his book on music, while at 5 PM prima ballerina Luciana Savignano tells her career story. At 9 PM the theatrical performance "Cunt Milan nel coeur" takes the stage, with Enrico Intra accompanied by Luca Garlaschelli and Nadio Marenco (ticket 12 euros). On Sunday at 11 AM writer Andrea Vitali presents his new book, while at 6 PM Marina De Juli stages "Tutta casa, letto e chiesa" by Dario Fo and Franca Rame (ticket 12 euros).
