			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In Italia la festa di Halloween è molto recente ma anno dopo anno l&#8217;appuntamento con la notte magica diventa sempre più sentito, specialmente tra i più giovani.<br />
Un secondo carnevale “importato” dove Arlecchino e Pulcinella lasciano il passo a streghe, diavoli e personaggi raccapriccianti nati dai set cinematografici dei film horror dei nostri tempi.</p>
<p>Quasi in tutte le discoteche il 31 ottobre vengono organizzate feste in maschera:  lanterne, ragnatele, vampiri, streghe e zombie ovunque! Ovviamente anche i ragazzi della <a title="Scuola Leonardo da Vinci di Milano" href="http://www.scuolaleonardo.com/it/imparare-italiano-Milano.html" target="_blank">Scuola Leonardo di Milano</a> hanno festeggiato come si deve!</p>
<p>Insomma, anche a Milano la festa è stata &#8230; da paura, con un aperitivo in maschera all&#8217;Old Fashion Café, uno dei locali più trendy di Milano: in maschera, ci siamo divertiti a ballare, mangiare e bere, per celebrare questo magico Halloween 2012.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-625" title="Visita di San Miniato a Monte" src="http://blog.scuolaleonardo.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/sanminiato.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="268" />Se volete fare una bellissima esperienza extra-scolastica, immergendosi un pochino nella storia italiana visitando delle chiese e ammirando le loro bellezze, non perdete il programma “Visita di Storia dell’Arte” organizzato dalla scuola di Firenze il pomeriggio dopo le lezioni.</p>
<p>A dire la verità io ho poca conoscenza della storia dell’arte in generale, ma già sin dal primo momento ero affascinata dai racconti della professoressa. Il suo entusiasmo verso la storia dell’arte e il suo desiderio di dare fatti e riferimenti ai suoi ascoltatori hanno destato in me la voglia di cominciare a studiare storia dell’arte una volta ritornata casa. Il suo pubblico (studenti giovani e più maturi) ascoltando le sue storie, resta a bocca aperta.</p>
<p>Questa volta siamo andati nella Chiesa di San Miniato che si trova in uno dei luoghi più alti della città di Firenze. Qui c’è un panorama stupendo sulla città, come potete vedere da queste foto fantastiche. La chiesa è una splendida testimonianza del romanico fiorentino ed è stata fonte di ispirazione per molti architetti importanti del Rinascimento. San Miniato fu il primo martire della città ed era, probabilmente, un mercante greco o un principe armeno in pellegrinaggio a Roma. Secondo la leggenda fu decapitato durante le persecuzioni anticristiane e, con la propria testa in mano, sarebbe andato a morire sulla cima. Proprio sul luogo in cui morì fu eretto un oratorio, ricostruito in chiesa nel 1018.</p>
<p>La professoressa ci ha fatto conoscere le diverse parti della chiesa: l’interno, la cripta, la Cappella del Cardinale del Portogallo e la Cappella del Crocefisso spiegando le tipiche caratteristiche romane e rinascimentali.</p>
<p>Se siete interessati al perché si trovino dei segni dello zodiaco sul pavimento di marmo, oppure vi chiedete cosa c’entrino i bestiari greci con la cristianità o, ancora perché la vista della cripta di San Miniato sia disturbata dalla presenza di una piccola cappella, partecipate alla guida il mese prossimo per scoprire tutto questo e tanto di più!:)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://blog.scuolaleonardo.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/sanminiato.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-625" title="Visita di San Miniato a Monte" src="http://blog.scuolaleonardo.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/sanminiato.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="268" /></a>No matter if you fancy history of art or you have only a little knowledge about it, for sure you will participate in a fantastic guided tour organized by our school in Florence. During this out-door activity you will visit different churches, while you can immerse into the history of Florence and history of art. These churches are like museums hosting lots of masterpieces. Moreover the teacher of history of art is an amazing person! Her attitude, her respect and love against art and history just get into everyone who attends her guided tours, her aim is to acquaint her audience with the most important facts and also to give an understandable overall insight of the different eras.</p>
<p>This time we visited the Basilica of San Miniato al Monte, which is situated on one of the highest points of Florence. From here you have a wonderful view at the entire city, the photos aside are the proof of it.:)</p>
<p>The structure of the Basilica is one of the finest examples of Tuscan Romanesque architecture and one of the most beautiful churches in Italy.<br />
San Miniato was Florence’s first martyr, possibly a Greek merchant or an Armenian prince, who left his home to make a pilgrimage to Rome. In about 250, he arrived in Florence and set up home as a hermit. He was beheaded during the anti-Christian persecutions and was then said to have picked up his head, crossed the Arno and walked up the hill of Mons Fiorentinus to his hermitage. At this spot there was a chapel by the 8th century. Construction of the present church was finished in 1018.</p>
<p>During the visit of the church we admired the interior, the Cardinal of Portugal Chapel, the Crypt, and the Chapel of the Crucifix, in the meanwhile the teacher drawed our attention to the typical Romanesque and also Renaissance characteristics.</p>
<p>If you are curious to know why there is zodiac mosaic in the nave floor, or if you want to know the explanation of how you can find Greek bestiary in a Christian church, or if you want to find out why the Crypt is not visible from the entrance of the Basilica, do not miss the tour next month!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You’re in Italy so why not indulge and allow yourself to sample the sweets. Here are a few hints when deciding on what to order from the menu of dolci…</p>
<p>1) A ‘crostata’ in Italy is basically a tart or flan with a pastry crust. Be warned that these are often just made with jam though, so when you see apricot or berry crostata this does not mean it will include real fruit or frangipane as you would find in other countries.</p>
<p>2) In most places in Italy the tiramisù is delicious, however, some touristy restaurants might try to use cream instead of the traditional mascarpone and eggs in order to cut costs. If you’re dining somewhere that looks like it caters to tourists, be sure to ask whether  their  tiramisù is made with real mascarpone- which is the crucial ingredient.</p>
<p>3) In cafès, bars and on the dessert menu of restaurants, you’ll probably see ‘torta della nonna’ (grandma’s cake) and wonder what this ambiguous yet intriguing sweet entails. It’s a classic here in Italy and is basically a shortcrust tart with a lemon custard filling topped with toasted pinenuts. You can often find this traditional dessert as a gelato flavor too!</p>
<p>4) Cantucci are another popular dessert choice here in Italy. These almond biscuits (also known as biscotti) are crisp, sweet and sometimes lighty spiced, and when dipped in Vin Santo (or any other dessert wine or coffee) they absorb the liquid and dissolve in your mouth. Perfect for when you can’t really fit in dessert but you want to finish the meal with a sweet bite or a nightcap.</p>
<p>5) Generally, Italians will never order coffee with dessert. Everything has its moment in the Italian dining experience and a short black (or what Italians call an espresso or caffè normale) is ordered after  the desserts have been devoured. Don’t even think about ordering a cappuccino after dinner if you’re trying to blend in like a local.</p>

cuoco e macellaio di grande esperienza che con competenza e simpatia ci aiuta spesso ad organizzare feste e grigliate per la nostra scuola di Milano.<br />
L&#8217;occasione è stata la presenza del nostro studente <strong>Geoffry</strong>, appassionato conoscitore della cucina italiana e con l&#8217;hobby della cucina nella sua Inghilterra.</p>
<p>Geoffry si è cimentato nella preparazione di uno dei più tipici piatti della cicina milanese, il risotto giallo con l&#8217;ossobuco in gremolada.</p>
<p>Il risotto giallo, cucinato con brodo e zafferano, tipica spezia di cui l&#8217;Italia è produttore di nicchia, è stato affiancato dall&#8217;ossobuco condito con acciughe, prezzemolo<br />
e scorza di limone, la cosiddetta &#8220;gremolada&#8221;.</p>
<p>Risultato eccellente, atmosfera conviviale e allietata da vini rossi di qualità e dalla chitarra di Leo Sardo e una bvellissima compagnia hanno fatto di<br />
questa serata un&#8217;altro grande evento della <a title="Scuola di italiano a Milano" href="http://www.scuolaleonardo.com/it/imparare-italiano-Milano.html" target="_blank">Scuola Leonardo da Vinci Milano</a>.</p>
<p>Nella foto il grande Gianni e il nostro Geoffry, felici per il loro piatto perfetto.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;">On the 15th September, we&#8217;ve had an organised trip to the <a title="Como Lake" href="www.aboutmilan.com/visiting-lombardia/Milan-lakes.html#comolake" target="_blank">Como lake</a> with <a title="Italian language school in Milan" href="http://www.scuolaleonardo.com/Milan-italian-language-school.html" target="_blank">Scuola Leonardo da Vinci Milan</a>. We had our meeting point at 9:30AM then we caught the train heading to Como at 9:40 AM. After a pleasant 1 hour trip we’ve arrived to the adorable town of Como. Even its &#8220;central station&#8221; ws adorable: just had two platforms.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-602" title="Trip to Como Lake organized by Scuola Leonardo Milan" src="http://blog.scuolaleonardo.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/trip-to-como-lake.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="240" />The Y-shape lake of glacial origin has interesting history and facts: it is the third biggest lake in Italy and the deepest point at Argegno, reaches 410 metres.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Till we&#8217;ve waited for those who have missed the train, had a short, 1,5 hours sightseeing in the historic centre of Como.  After a few minutes walk from the central station, we’ve reached the “main square”, Piazza Cavour, which opens to the lake. Just by a few minutes walk from Piazza Cavour, we’ve reached Piazza Duomo (Dom Square) where we can find the “Duomo” – Cathedral of Como (with characteristics of both renaissance and gothic style) and the cityhall surrounded by some really nice restaurants and cafés situated great atmosphere.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Our next stop was at Piazza San Fedele, where you can find &#8220;Chiesa San Fedele&#8221; and discover the charming buildings remained in their original style, from the medieval times. It&#8217;s really interesting to see how modern and medieval times meet: we&#8217;ve entered a bookshop (Libreria Ubik) where you can find medieval ruins, besides the books. After a short walk at Via Cesare Cantù, where you can find a tower which remained from the medieval wall of the town, we went back to Piazza Cavour to find the others and catch a boat to Cernobbio.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">After the around 20 minutes boattrip, we&#8217;ve made a short sightseeing in Cernobbio, the 3rd biggest town of Como Lake and caught a boat back to Como. We’ve returned to Piazza Duomo to have a lunchbreak. We had great, real Italian pasta and lasagne for lunch just a street away from Piazza Duomo, in a nice, relaxing environment.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">In the afternoon we had a huge walk on the bank of the lake, reaching Tempio Voltiano which is a museum dedicated to Alessandro Volta, famous physicist, inventor of battery. Our final destination was the park of Villa Olmo and the beach at the bank of Como Lake. Fortunately Villa Olmo gave place to an open wedding exhibition, so we could admire also inside this beautiful building and it’s ceiling covered by frescos.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">After our one-day trip we’ve reached our train back to <a title="Milan city" href="http://www.aboutmilan.com/" target="_blank">Milan</a> a bit tired but very satisfied. I can just recommend everybody not to miss any chances to visit Como at least once.</p>
