Ad Artem Launches ScopriMI Guided Tours Exploring Milan's Historical and Contemporary Layers

cultural-heritage · 2026-04-09

Ad Artem, directed by Adriana Summa and Elena Rossi, presents ScopriMI, a series of nine experiential tours in Milan from March 28 to June 28, 2026, with weekly weekend and Wednesday evening sessions. These tours encourage residents to rediscover their city through thematic itineraries covering archaeology, the Middle Ages, Leonardo da Vinci, Alessandro Manzoni, the 20th century, Liberty style, Futurism, and contemporary architecture. Participants receive a travel diary kit with maps and blank pages for drawing and note-taking, fostering active collaboration rather than passive guidance. The approach stems from Ad Artem's research since 2016, including a project with Museo del Novecento and participation in Università Cattolica's master's program in educational services, which revealed a public desire for hands-on learning. Tours like 'Milano romana – Sulle tracce della capitale dell’Impero' explore ancient Mediolanum through underground basilica sites, while 'In piedi tra i giganti di Porta Nuova' and 'Con la testa tra i Dritto, Storto e Curvo' focus on modern transformations in Porta Nuova and CityLife districts. Bookings are made via Ad Artem's website, targeting Milanese citizens to uncover hidden urban layers and architectural evolution.
