The Municipal
Administration of Milan, in order to enhance and promote the Monumental
Cemetery, has planned ‘’La città
della memoria’’.
‘’La città
della memoria’’ (‘’The city of
Memory’’), a project for promoting
and enhancing the Monumental Cemetery of Milan with theatralized
guided tours dedicated to children of the second cycle of Primary
Schools (8-11 years old) and Secondary Primary Schools (11-13 years
old). The initiative also provides opportunities to participate for
families that will be carried out on the weekend.
The main objective of the proposal is the reading of cemetery spaces, as a place of memory; Removing content from the aspects related to "death" and "sadness", both for respecting the young age of the audience, and for passing down to the new generations the idea of this space as an opportunity to know the history of Milan through its most illustrious citizens, and so as a living and vital place capable of teaching and interacting with today's world in an active and non-fruitless way. The initiative uses the theater and the acting as an instrument to create a tour in which kids will be actively involved and they will make the acquired notions a part of their own knowledge, while creating a connection with the history and glory of our city.
