Giardini Indro Montanelli

This guide to Giardini Indro Montanelli in Milan opens on a June morning in nineteen seventy-seven, when the journalist Indro Montanelli was shot on a street bordering this park by the Red Brigades, and how he survived to keep writing for the Corriere della Sera for another two decades. It follows the bronze statue raised here in two thousand six, cast by the sculptor Vito Tongiani, pen in hand as if he had just stepped out for air. These gardens have carried his name since two thousand two.
