Italian Alligator sighting in the museum’s garden.
Oct. 6, 2016
Galleria d’Italia Art Museum was another stop on my Milan visit. A smaller but enjoyable museum in a beautiful building.
But, just as interesting as the art, I also came to realize that hundreds of public attractions have now waged war on the selfie-stick. This museum and many other places in Italy, have posted signs banning the selfie-stick. Later googling the subject, I came to realize that public places all over the world are banning the obtrusion for many reasons. Not that I have any objection. While maybe there is place and time for a selfie-stick, I tend to agree with one writer, who renamed it the “narcisstick”. : ) That said, I hope you enjoy the following photos of the Galleria d’Italia……
“The Instince of Arms” 1868 by Gaetano Chierici
“The Crossing” 1901 by Alessandro Milesi
most interesting mantle…
“Northern Landscape With Mountains” 1852 by Julius Lange
“The Thursday Walk” 1869 by Angelo Trezzini
Beautiful art on the ceilings also.
A grand staircase
Thanks for reading!
