VELODROMO MASPES-VIGORELLI, 18 MARCH

▲ THE MOST CLASSIC OF ITALIAN CYCLE RACES

SPORT The 114th edition of the historic Milano-Sanremo cycling race will take place on Saturday 18 March. The start will be from the legendary Velodromo Vigorelli, a historical place of world cycling, although the official start of the race will be from Corsico on the outskirts of the city, due to the 30 km/h limit for the line and finish races. The finish is scheduled after some 299 kilometres in the Ligurian Riviera town of Sanremo, on the Via Roma boulevard.

From the outskirts of Milan, the caravan will move in the direction of Alessandria and then turn, still in Piedmont, towards Asti and Alba, where the riders will tackle the 934-metre climb of the Colle di Nava.

From the summit there will be just about 70 kilometres to the finish, preceded by the Poggio climb, generally the watershed of the race: just 3.7 kilometres long, in fact, it precedes the descent towards the plain. The last downhill section takes place in the town of Sanremo with the last 2 km on long city straights.

TRIENNALE MILANO, UNTIL 2 APRIL ► VISUAL AND LITERARY ANTHOLOGY

BY ETTORE SOTTSASS

DESIGN “La Parola” (“The Word”) is the third exhibition project at the Triennale Milano dedicated to the Italian architect, designer and photographer Ettore Sottsass

The exhibition focuses on the varied, constant and multiple use of the Word, which characterises his production and brings together a selection of drawings, objects, writings and unpublished works. The aim of this exhibition is to propose a visual and literary anthology representing the essence of Sottsass’ original narrative vein. Lists, descriptions, confessions, diaries, short stories, magazines, posters, fanzines, articles, speeches, lectures and reviews are all traces of the multiple forms of the Word, used to accompany the moments and movements of the artist’s works.

MUSEO DIOCESANO, UNTIL 16 APRIL THE SOUL BEJOND THE IMAGE

PHOTOGRAPHY The exhibition presents around 50 photographs by the British photographer Lee Jeffries who has become the voice of the marginalised. The images in black and white and colour capture the faces of the hidden and invisible humanity that populates the streets of the great metropolises of Europe and the United States. Through his spiritual gaze and art, Jeffries brings the homeless out of the darkness in which they are imprisoned and tries to restore light and dignity to every human being. His most characteristic stylistic feature is that of the portrait, always frontal and close-up, often with dark monochrome backgrounds that, elaborated with effective work on light and shadow, brings out the faces in their extraordinary expressive power, capable of communicating their suffering, their unease and their unhappy condition.

MUDEC, UNTIL 2 JULY ► MULTIPLE MEANINGS OF THE RAINBOW

CULTURE The “Rainbow” exhibition tales place in the spaces on the first floor of MUDEC. After a complete immersion in the colours of the rainbow thanks to a site-specific installation by artist Cory Arcangel in the spaces of the “cloud”, the exhibition continues in the Focus Rooms. The exhibits, from the museum’s collections but also the result of international loans, allow the visitor to explore the multiple meanings of the rainbow and learn about its origins and reflections in contemporary culture. An expression of different languages from anthropology to biology, from art to science, the exhibits illustrate ancient myths and new values of the iris between ancient and contemporary

The exhibition is part of an interdisciplinary project involving the Milan Natural History Museum and the Milan Planetarium, with a calendar full of events and initiatives linked to the rainbow theme.
