The Rossini Art Site<\/h2>\n

The Rossini Art Site<\/strong> is the legacy of the entrepreneur Alberto Rossini: a park<\/strong> where nature, modern art and contemporary art live side by side accessible to everyone.
\nThe park stretches over 10 hectares in the middle of the Parco Valle Lambro, one of the green area a few miles from the city of Milan.
\nAlberto Rossini selected the place to host his 20th century contemporary art collection<\/strong>.
\nThe collection includes works from the Italian artists Gi\u00f2 Ponti, Bruno Munari, Grazia Varisco<\/strong> and internationally renowed artists such as C\u00e9sar, Jean Tinguely, Denis Oppenheim e Nagasawa Hidetoshi to name a few.
\nThe site calendar is jammed with activities going from kids labs, guided tour, yoga sessions etc.
\nDo not miss the opportunity to go and spend the last sunny days bathing in the beauty of art and nature.
\nThe site is open every day and the entry fee starts from \u20ac9 (reduced tickets available)<\/p>\n

\"One<\/a>
One of the most poisonous plan is hemlock and you can find it in Brianza<\/div><\/div>\n

The Orto Botanico of Valmadrera<\/h2>\n

Each village or little towns in Italy has its little gem.
\nThe little village of Valmadrera hosts a botanical garden<\/strong> dating back to the XVIII century when the local monks Fatebenefratelli used to grow herbs for medical reasons.
\nThe tradition has been lost just for some years as some passionate volunteers decided to revive that antique garden and add different botanical species.
\nThe botanical garden is now an oasis of peace turists and locals can both enjoy at no cost.
\nYou know when they tell you that best things in life are free?
\nPlan a visit at Valmadrera and let the serenity and the beauty of the place heals all your trouble…at least for an afternoon.<\/p>\n

\"Cycling<\/a>
Cycling along the river Adda in Brianza<\/div><\/div>\n

Biking along the river Adda<\/h2>\n

The Adda river runs through the Pianura Padana, the flat land covering the central part of North Italy.
\nThough the river does not cross mountains or steep hilly areas, the territory along the river bed is far from being monotonous and it does not lack beautiful and lavish views.
\nThe legend says that Leondardo Da Vinci took the inspiration for his masterpiece \u201cThe virgin of the rocks\u201d from the woods around the Adda river.
\nIf you think carrying a bike all the way here could prove a little difficult, here is the solution for you: rent a bike.<\/strong>
\nIf you head to Imbersago, a small village on the river side, you will be ale to hire a bike and start your day out along this placid river .
\nOne tip: if you are a painter, do not forget to bring your sketch book with you. If the place inspired Leonardo, chances are you may feel inspired as well: Autumn light is just perfect!<\/p>\n

\"Crossing<\/a>
Crossing the river Adda in Brianza on the boat designed by Leonardo Da Vici picture by Viaggevolmente<\/div><\/div>\n

Crossing the river under the sign of Leonardo Da Vinci<\/h2>\n

And speaking of Leonardo, you surely do not want to miss the opportunity to board on the unique and only active boat the Italian genius drew.<\/strong>
\nThe boat carries people and vehicles from one side to the other of teh river: it is a short and silent trip, approx 5 minutes.
\nSilent? Well, yes it is.
\nThe boat moves thanks to the river tides.
\nExtra value: you will be welcomed aboard by the lovely captain Ingrid, a slender blonde who works here everyday from 9 am to 7 pm.
\nIt\u2019s like stepping back into the XV century. Are you ready for it?<\/p>\n
