Near the Cathedral, in Piazza san Fedele an installation called Cuore Bosco will be part of Euroluce 2011 with sincronized lights, sounds and images showing the six major parts of the 24 hours of a day, from dawn to night. It will recreate the ancient Celtic heart of Milan, where the Celtics had a sacred area (lucus) surrounded by sacred trees more than 2000 years ago, before the Roman Empire.

I will leave you with this image of flowers in simple containers, glass bottles, yogurt containers... to show how easy could be to bring nature in your home.

Sunday AM in S. CA. Good Morning, I am loving being able to follow you in Milan. Wonderful concept. xxpeggybraswelldesign.com
I truly love the bench - this is really a clever idea and not costly.
I bet it is even quite comfortable because the bamboo won't be that stiff and hard like a wooden bench.
Bravo , that is a great bench.
Milan is so fabulous, wish I was there, such fashion. yvonne
