Ep.1: Milan. The Middle Earth of the Roman Empire

Milan, the city that looks to the future, that is always changing and never stands still, but bringing with it traces of what is has always been. Sometimes those traces are out in the open, other times they are hidden- they require attention. In this episode, we will go in search of three objects that tell three stories from Milan's past: the stele of the gladiator Urbicus in the Antiquarium Alda Levi, the bronze serpent in the Basilica of Sant'Ambrogio, and the Diatreta Trivulzio in the Archaeological Museum.
