Con la costruzione dei Bastioni Spagnoli, a Milano viene a crearsi,
tra le nuove fortificazioni e le antiche mura medioevali, un’ampia
fascia verde, per lo più a ortaglie, in cui troveranno collocazione
conventi e monasteri, configurando per oltre tre secoli un preciso e
riconoscibile disegno urbano della città.
L’arrivo della ferrovia e il dinamismo immobiliare di fine ‘800 e dei
primi del ‘900, segnano la fine di questa corona orticola, che viene
rapidamente a saturarsi di nuova edificazione.
Riscoprire la Milano città d’orti, tramite mappe, stampe e fotografie
d’epoca, dipinti, è l’obiettivo di questa mostra, che vuole costituire
una base di riflessione e di spunto sul ruolo che gli orti urbani
possono oggi assumere nel ridisegno della città contemporanea.
