"It was an extraordinary event – comments the councilor for civic and general services Gaia Romani – and the many people who participated prove it. I thank everyone who worked to create this truly beautiful occasion, with which we wanted to remember and pay homage to a woman who was able to describe our Milan with uniqueness and love. A journey into the soul of this great poet who is relived in her verses and through the notes of that music she adored so much. The Administration will undertake to respond moments like these in the setting of what is the extraordinary open-air museum of Milan".
