Tour description:
Repositioned cobblestones, repainted walls, art galleries and fashionable parties: this is Brera district nowadays, an elegant and attractive neighbourhood, but in the past Brera meant sweat, scavengers and red lights.
You will follow the stories of another time and their protagonists through a dramatized tour between Piazza Santa Maria del Carmine, along via Madonnina, San Carpoforo and San Simpliciano until Palazzo di Brera, all famous sights.
The secrets of Brera are told by Wanda, a young and lovable woman selling herself, accompanied by the trusty notes of Ambrose, customer, friend and “milanese” by adoption. The secrets, in their time, were not so secret: everyone knew what was going on behind those walls. And there's no man in town who hasn't knocked at those doors. Peasants, chimney sweeps, politicians, clergymen, all revive in the Wanda’s stories, revealing a Milan where beating were not only hearts.
Through these short stories of real-life, Wanda, never coy or intimidated, will tell you everything, absolutely everything, of the unsuspected Brera, its every secret!
