The Hidden Empire
The Hidden Empire
Milan is older than it looks. On Saturday, 7 March, we walk again. Not to see the city, but to see what lies beneath it. Starting from Piazza del Duomo, this 2-hour narrated walk traces the hidden presence of Roman Milan. The exact route won’t be revealed in advance, because discovery works best when it unfolds step by step. This isn’t a tour. It’s not a lecture. It’s a shared exploration. Led by a scholar, the walk moves at a human pace, weaving stories, fragments, and forgotten layers into the present city. It’s for those who are curious, who enjoy slow conversations, and who want to experience Milan differently, beyond monuments and postcards. ✅ **Mandatory:** To join, you must **subscribe via the Google Form AND** **join the Telegram group**. Only participants who complete both will be admitted. The Roman Empire didn’t vanish. It settled into the foundations. And it’s still there. 📍 Start: Piazza del Duomo, in front of **McDonald’s,** Milan 🗓 Saturday, 7 March 🍹 Optional aperitivo 📋 **Register [here](https://forms.gle/H4UQPNNxqJdxNnug6)** 👉 **Join the [Telegram group](https://t.me/+MM8zx1Z06YEwZjhk)**

Whether your feet lift or not, what you understand here will support your practice and help you continue building Crow Pose step by step. A regular yoga practice is recommended. Small group setting for individual guidance. **Price: 35€** (tax included) Reservation is confirmed once payment is received. Payment options: PayPal, Satispay, or bank transfer. **Cancellation Policy** Free cancellation up to 24 hours before the workshop (please inform via WhatsApp).

OSTELLO BELLO OLYMPIC GAMES
OSTELLO BELLO OLYMPIC GAMES
**Are you ready for the Milano–Cortina Winter Olympics? We’re not.** **That’s why we’ve created our very own Ostello Bello "Olympic" Games: a glorious display of questionable athletic skills and high-level nonsense.** While the "other" guys are busy with the official **Milano-Cortina 2026** ceremonies, we’re bringing the real "action" to the streets of Milan. From February 6th, we aren't gathering to break world records; we’re gathering to break the laws of physics. This isn’t about the podium; it’s about the survival of the chillest. Get your "winter" gear ready, because we’re about to prove that being an elite athlete is 10% talent and 90% just showing up for the vibes. **The Incentive:** Every participant gets a **shot**. The "legends" who actually win take home an **Ostello Bello T-shirt or a Drink**. ## The Disciplines: Official "Technical" Standards Every day from **7 PM to 9 PM**, our "athletes" will face a rotating schedule of these elite winter disciplines: ### 1\. Air Hockey: The Wrist\-Flick Battle A high-speed duel where the only thing frozen is your gaze on the puck. * **The Goal:** Smash the plastic disc into the hole. * **Requirement:** Move your hand faster than your brain can process and celebrate every point like you’ve just secured a gold medal. ### 2\. Boxing\-Glove Beer Pong: The Clumsy Champion Challenge We took a classic and made it impossible by adding the "Yeti factor." * **The Twist:** You have to play wearing massive, padded boxing gloves. * **The Challenge:** Gripping a tiny ball with giant hands is the ultimate test of patience. Success here is statistically unlikely and basically a miracle. ### 3\. DIY Curling: The Professional Slide The most serious-looking sport in our program. We’ve replaced expensive stones with pots and ice with felt pads, but the tension is real. * **The Setup:** A "House" (target) taped on the floor and a "Hog Line" for the release. * **The Action:** Launch the pot while your teammates run alongside it with brooms, screaming *"Hurry! Hard!"* just like in the real tournaments. * **The Score:** Closest pot to the center wins. Clean floors are a bonus. ### BONUS DAY: The "Wildcard" Game The discipline is a mystery. Our local legends will choose the challenge. Expect the unexpected: and probably more shots. **AND REPEAT.**
ZUMBA +... Aperitivo! - Sunday of Exercise, Fun and Connections
ZUMBA +... Aperitivo! - Sunday of Exercise, Fun and Connections
ENG Sunday afternoon in Milan, what’s the plan? Let’s recharge our batteries to get ready for a brand new week. Leave behind what’s past, take the best from it, and turn it into **pure energy** for this Sunday practice. Music will be the base of our body's movement and expression: the rythm will guide our steps and canalise our energies and emotions into something very creative and powerful. Bring a **sports towel** and **sport clothes and sneakers**. (there are changing rooms if you need them!) Don’t forget **water** to rehydrate — and your desire to recharge! NEW LOCATION: Campo Teatrale \| Snodo Creativo a Milano \(A few metro stops after Loreto\) ***Suuuuper important: Please try to arrive in time! As once the class starts, it's difficult to come receive you!*** And after the event, the sweetest part: let's choose a bar and have some drinks together to get the full Milanese experience with a typical Aperitivo! (not included in the participation fee) ITA Domenica pomeriggio a Milano, qual è il piano? Ricarichiamo un po' le batterie per prepararci al meglio a una nuova settimana. Lasciamo ciò che è stato della settimana scorsa alle spalle, prendiamone il buono e trasformiamolo in **energia pura** per questa pratica della domenica. La musica sarà la base del movimento e dell'espressione del nostro corpo: lasceremo che sia il ritmo a guidare i nostri passi e a canalizzare le nostre energie ed emozioni in un momento di grande creatività e libertà espressiva Porta il tuo **asciugamano da sport** e **acqua** per reidratarti, **abbigliamento e scarpe sportivi** (ci sono gli spogliatoi, se devi cambiarti!) e... voglia di ricaricare le batterie! NUOVA LOCATION: Campo Teatrale \| Snodo Creativo a Milano \(qualche fermata metro dopo Loreto\) ***Suuuuper importante: cerca di arrivare in orario, perchè una volta che inizia la lezione, non sentiamo più il citofono (e non c'è nessuno in reception per accoglierti)*** E dopo l'esercizio, la parte più dolce: non è la full experience Milanese se non c'è un Aperitivo di mezzo! (non incluso nella quota di partecipazione)

Contra dance with Big Scioty on March 7 - First Congregational Church
Contra dance with Big Scioty on March 7 - First Congregational Church
**Caller: Frank Buschelmann** **Band: The Rosenthorns** **Big Scioty Contra Dance** **temporarily returning to our long ago location for Jan-March - First Congregational Church, 444 E. Broad St., Columbus 43215** WHAT IS CONTRA DANCING? Picture the Grand Ball scenes like you’ve seen in period films such as “Pride and Prejudice”, where the dancers are lined up in long lines, across from each other. That’s English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like “swing your partner” and “do-si-do,” like you’ve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alá “Riverdance.” Finally, set the whole scene down in the middle of Woodstock, with a hip, groovy atmosphere, a bit of tie-dye, and hints of counter-culture attitude. THAT’s Contra Dancing! Wear cool and comfortable clothes (you will get warm) and clean shoes that won't mark up our nice wood floor. Be sure to come for the beginner's lesson from 7:30 - 8:00, followed by dancing 8:00 - 10:30. All dances are taught; we will help you learn! Beginners always welcome, no need to bring a partner. Cost is $10.00 adults, $5.00 ages 12-26. Under 12 free. Free parking in church lot. For more information contact me or check out our website: [www.bigscioty.com](http://www.bigscioty.com/) Please bring your own refillable water bottle. Snacks to share are always welcome!
