Milan, at Gallerie d'Italia a flash mob for Romanticism exhibition

Yesterday in Milan, at the Gallerie d’Italia in Piazza Scala where the major exhibition Romanticism curated by Fernando Mazzocca (from October 26, 2018 to March 17, 2019) is underway, a flash mob, also titled Romanticism, took place, transforming the Salone Scala into a 19th-century ballroom: six pairs of dancers in period costumes danced to excerpts from La Traviata (“Libiamo ne’ lieti calici” and “Che è ciò”). Preceding the entry of the dancers, a reading of a quote from Baudelaire on Romanticism is held.

The flash mob aimed to recreate the atmosphere and suggestions of the Romantic era, to allow the public, a note says, “to make the most of the visit to the Romanticism exhibition, which, with more than 200 selected works, traces the lively cultural confrontation and debate that took place between England, France and the northern countries, in which Italy participated, in the years from the Congress of Vienna to the revolutions that shook the old continent in 1848.”
