Milano's House Museums Launch Two Free Podcast Tours

The Circuito delle Case Museo di Milano, with support from Fondazione Cariplo and the Comune di Milano, has launched two free podcast projects—ListenToMI and AscoltaMI—to narrate the history and heritage of four house museums: Museo Bagatti Valsecchi, Casa Museo Boschi Di Stefano, Villa Necchi Campiglio, and Museo Poldi Pezzoli. ListenToMI, in partnership with Yes Milano, offers a tour in Italian and English along cultural routes developed by Invisible Studio, featuring 21 guides including musicians, architects, designers, writers, and critics. New episodes will be released monthly on the Circuito's website and platforms like Spotify and Apple Podcasts; the first episode is available from today. AscoltaMI, built by Aedo, is a six-stop educational audio tour for non-native Italian speakers residing in Milan. Both initiatives enrich the broader "Di Casa in Casa" program launched in 2017 to increase the museums' appeal. Previous efforts include digitalizing the Case Museo Card, e-ticketing, social media promotion, an English version of the chatbot game Case Museo Bot, and a tourism operator educational event scheduled for March 23.
