Milan – Day 2 – Part 2 – Knowledge that Matters!

The mural, “Music is a Never-Ending Journey,” was painted by the street artists belonging to the collective known as Orticanoodles.  The mural was made with special fluorescent paints, and so, at night, it takes on an even better vibe.

The Chiesa Parrocchiale di San Gottardo al Corso dates from 1568.

The Università Luigi Bocconi is regarded as one of the best universities in the world, for business, economics and management studies.  The school was founded in 1902, by Ferdinando Bocconi, who named it after his son, Luigi, who lost his life in the Battle of Adwa, during the First Italo-Ethiopian War.

“Knowledge that Matters” is the motto of Bocconi Univeristy, and these words stand proudly in the space between Viale Bligny and Via Roentgen, the work of the artist and graphic designer, Lorenzo Petrantoni.
