Museo Del Novecento

The Museo de Novecento is stuffed into a wonderfully fascistic building Palazzo dell'Arengario next to the Duomo, which I never recognize anymore, as it is white now instead of the black I remember. Tourists throng the square but Milan is still mostly free of American tourists (to their detriment. It is a wonderfully rich city).

Though poorly retrofitted, the collection inspires a certain admiration: it is filled with Italian futurists and local artists, unknown to us, but worthy of attention.  And at the top, the view of the Piazza is splendid.
