There are also many sculptures in the city that can be admired in the open air: among the most famous are Ago, Filo e Nodo, by Claes Oldenburg and his wife Coosje van Bruggen in Piazzale Cadorna, L.O.V.E. by Maurizio Cattelan in piazza Affari or the Grande disco by Arnaldo Pomodoro in piazza Meda.

Speaking of music, however, on Saturday 8 March at 18 pm in live streaming (behind closed doors) from Palazzina Liberty "Unconventional Cello" will offer the online public a journey into pop music through the mirror of electronics.

The live broadcast will be broadcast on the Milano Classica YouTube channel, which can be accessed from this link: bit.ly/youtube_mc. Access is free, there is no need to register. The performance will last approximately 60/70 minutes.

The Milano Classica Concert is part of the Palazzina Liberty in Musica 2019-2020 season, a project promoted and coordinated by the Municipality of Milan.

Under the sign of experimentation with new combinations, in this event, Sandro Laffranchini, principal cellist of the Teatro alla Scala, guides us on a journey that challenges conventions in the company of Fabrizio Campanelli, author of numerous soundtracks for the big screen. The cello dialogues with itself through the mirror of sampling and electronics, breaking down and recomposing songs that have left an important trace in the popular imagination, from the past to the present day.
