Venues

The places where the Academy organises its activities, valuing them not only as venues for events but as spaces for encounter, culture, music and beauty.

Sala del Cenacolo

Museo Nazionale della Scienza e della Tecnologia Leonardo da Vinci (National Museum of Science and Technology) Venue for A.M.A.MI. concerts and I Salotti

The Sala del Cenacolo is the former refectory of the Olivetan monastery of San Vittore, which has housed the National Museum of Science and Technology since 1953. The end wall holds the large fresco of the Wedding at Cana. The shallow vault and the side walls carry a series of elaborate architectural quadrature, with flowers, fruit and festoons, and monochrome biblical scenes from the Old Testament that allude to the theme of nourishment through divine intervention.

Address: Via San Vittore 21, Milan
Getting there: Metro line M2, Sant'Ambrogio station

Sala delle Colonne

Museo Nazionale della Scienza e della Tecnologia Leonardo da Vinci (National Museum of Science and Technology) Venue for A.M.A.MI. concerts

The Sala delle Colonne is the former library of the ancient Olivetan monastery. It is marked by an elegant structure of rows of arches and columns that open onto two Renaissance cloisters. Thanks to its large surface and a maximum capacity of 300 people, it is used for events, lectures, conferences, temporary exhibitions and special installations.

Designed in the twentieth century, the hall is an example of refined and functional architecture.
