The Premiere does not end in the theater: here is the social evening that brings Milan together

Upon exiting the “Prima”, everyone stuck in the foyer. Mario Boselli, president of the Italy-China Foundation and honorary president of the National Chamber of Fashion, a family known in the Milanese news from the time when Ludovico il Moro granted it the license for silkworm breeding, used the proverbial diplomacy to quell the esteem of the guests who, having almost 10, they would like to go to dinner. For the first time, the impressive security apparatus brings out the procession of institutions – Mattarella family, Meloni-Giambruno family, La Russa family, Baroness Ursula von der Leyen, the first city couple Beppe Sala-Chiara Bazoli – before anyone else.

The Milanese, notoriously allergic to the Roman model politics that is Marquis Del Grillo, are making noise. Who do you want to screw them, is the subtext, and after all it is a fact that the applause all went to Mattarella as always, in second order the mayor, much appreciated by the community that attends La Scala. When, after ten minutes, the doors open, the almost two thousand spectators of Boris swarm towards their respective destinations: Cipriani the socialites without adhesions, a reception at the home of Piero Maranghi the intellectuals, an institutional dinner at the Società del giardino, under the portraits of Henri Beyle “Milanese” Stenhdal for guests of the mayor, La Scala and the main sponsors.

In the audience they had seen the minister Anna Maria Berniniguest of a sponsor, and the Minister of Economic Development and Made in Italy Adolfo Urso. At dinner, where one always arrives for the first time between two wings of armored vehicles, on foot, they seem to have evaporated. Instead, there are Ignazio La Russa who personally brings the Bellavista reserve brut to the ladies of his entourage, Stefano Accorsi, guest of the mayor, Luca Formenton and a large representation of that Milan that it is a pleasure to see gathered together, at least once a year. Fruit centerpieces designed by Donatella Brunazzi, director of the Scala theater museum and ceremonial, very elegant and exhausted after three weeks of institutional arrangements and negotiations, menus by young chefs, traditional and innovative enough for the occasion. But the most coveted appointment remains, as always, the after at the Basso bar hosted by the director of the press office Paolo Besana. Many “wrong” and finally a lot of relaxation for all. The summons is a consecration.
