Beethovenians !!!???...

Hi everyone and happy holidays!!

For me lunch is fine, you can count me in

is there someone who summarizes the situation? Who gives a precise time and place?

Summarizing, for now I see two options for a single proposal:

- Those who want to meet at 1:00 PM in the Duomo area for a short and light lunch (Luca will provide precise coordinates) and then move to the museum by 2:30 PM (2 people have confirmed)

- Those who want to go directly to the museum at 2:30 PM, Milano, viale Campania 12 (8 people have confirmed)

yesterday I went to the museum in viale Campania and... in the closest surroundings.

I am partially correcting my proposal.

Even for lunch, it seems better to me to find a place near the museum.

And therefore I would suggest nearby, at Via Battistotti Sassi n. 11 Mamma Oliva

I stopped by to take a look. It is 500 m from the museum. It seems to me a solution that could optimize the travel times for some who are interested in meeting but not in the confusion of central Milan.

In the Duomo area (MM Cordusio) I had in mind L'Antica Osteria Milanese, in Via Camperio 12

So Gentlemen: ... quick survey regarding preference of place and number of participants for lunch

The time is set for 12:45 in front of the venue that will be chosen.

And at 14:30 in front of the museum.

I would say to provide the info so that on January 2nd I can call/book etc.

Unfortunately, it will be very difficult for me to manage to participate in the lunch; if I understood Armando's message correctly, he and Fiorella are also already "booked"

After eating, we will be at the exhibition and will be very happy to meet all our friends.

... I'll see if I can manage to free myself up.

I say yes to lunch :-) if I don't see changes by the day after tomorrow, I'm aiming for mamma oliva

Dear all then:

Fiore and I will certainly be there (actually we will arrive much earlier)

So, wherever you want for now and whenever you want, it will be a pleasure to be in your company.

I am also leaving my phone number 347xxxxxxx and Fiorella's 340xxxxxxx (save them if you want, otherwise I will delete them tomorrow evening!)

We are waiting for the other sign-ups!

Armando and Fiorella

Dear Armando... phone is acting up. I'll be in touch

So: status update.

Ale Gozzo (1)

Thallo (1)

Armando+Fiorella (2)

me + family (1+3)

Daniele + family (1+2)

Frank, who will be free (1)

total: at Mamma Oliva we will be 11 very certain + 1 certain but not too much

Daniele... I'm telling you guys. I'm doing the right thing, right?

Of course, we are leaving tomorrow morning and will be in Milan at 10:40, state railways permitting. In the meantime, best wishes to everyone, Beethovenians and non-Beethovenians alike!

So Freunde!...

This afternoon I confirmed for 12 people (list in the previous post) at Mamma Oliva in Via Battistotti Sassi n. 11

http://www.mammaoliva.it/mammaoliva/

the meetup is there outside at 12:45

you can get there with the lines:

Tram 27 (in Via Larga or Largo Augusto), destination V.le Ungheria, get off at the stop "V.le Corsica-Via Lomellina"

Bus 73 (in Piazza S.Babila), destination Linate, get off at the stop "V.le Corsica-Via Lomellina"

Once you have gotten off at the indicated stop, head back towards the city center for about 50 m... Battistotti Sassi is the first street on the right.

Then we will walk to the Comics Museum. It opens at 15:00, free entry for the Beethoven exhibition, no reservation required.

If someone arrives by car: Linate exit of the Tangenziale Est, and head towards the city center: you are already on Viale Forlanini which then changes name to Viale Corsica. When you see a BPM (Banca Popolare di Milano), that's where you must turn right (you have arrived) and look for parking (from what I saw today, it is easy to park).

So, by public transport, keep "Moonlight" and "Emperor" in mind ... lines 27 and 73

tomorrow I will be there too but I don't think I can make it for lunch. we will see each other at the exhibition or a moment before. I will call Armando.

Bye

Luigi

for the record, for anyone who might (like me) or wants to arrive by train, the place is reasonably close to both the Milano Dateo station and the Milano Porta Vittoria station

and nothing, I wanted to say that classical music sometimes ruins people, but the pianoconcerto forum improves them :-) i love you all

From Thallo's words it seems to me that it went well, how beautiful ... pity to be out of the area.

... to say it was beautiful is an understatement. It had been years since I experienced a moment like this. Without exaggerating THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU!

my wife and daughters said "it's the first time dad has laughed spontaneously in a photo"

(it's not true )

see you soon! until next time!

P.S. Thallo!... I mean: stay as naughty as you have always been

At the very least you must post the photo then!!

Simone, Armando will surely give us satisfaction

It was also a pleasure for me to meet all of you, to hear your voices and to associate a real face (photos are not enough) with what are "only" writings; I also thought it was lovely that there were many little ones

Dovremmo sicuramente fare un bis, magari all'inizio del 2016 ...

Hi rabble, it was a real pleasure meeting you all and I hope we'll do it again soon !!!!!!!!!!!

Abate, see you next time, I'll be waiting for you

A reassurance for those who weren't there: Thallo is mean on the forum but in person he is very nice and very good (mmm .... tasty will do!)

ps

how was the exhibition ?

Here I am!

Here is the link that appears starting today on "Avvenimenti" http://www.lvbeethoven.it/Avvenimenti/Fumetto/FieraFumettoWOW.html

It's not just a figure of speech; we (Fio and I) also had a really great time, very informal (in reality, I can't manage to be formal on any occasion).

I confirm: Thallo is truly an exquisite and very kind person. He will have to sweat quite a bit to get his super-villain aura back!

It's just a pity we didn't take a photo of the families....

As for Luca, I am truly happy that you had fun; I won't forget how kind you were in accompanying us to the 91!

A hug to everyone!
