“During the night, the gold crown belonging to the Duke Ludovico il Moro was stolen, and the Milanese nobleman is asking children to help him find it.” This is the challenge that the Summer Campus at Castello Sforzesco has organised for younger children. “Participants will act as auxiliary troops for the Milanese army and their task will be to find the crown, following the clues that the thief has left throughout the Castle courtyards and in the Museums. Via tests of skill and enigmas, mysterious clues will also lead to symbolic areas of the city, such as Parco Sempione, the Basilica of Sant’Ambrogio and Piazza Mercanti. To help them get into character, the young soldiers will design and paint a crest with oils on canvas and will create a monstrous bas-relief amulet in clay.”

Of the various Campuses in the city of Milan, that proposed by Ad Artem, a company that has been operating for more than 25 years in the valorisation of cultural heritage, appears to be the most interesting. Games, culture, mystery and above all entertainment over the long summer holidays.

From 27 June until 1 July 2022 and from 5 to 9 September, Castello Sforzesco will be enveloped in a cloak of mystery.
