Dance

Dance has always had an prominent position within Amici della Scala’s activities and events. A great book dedicated to dance therefore could not have been left out. On the 15th of November 1986, in the La Scala foyer, the book La danza a Milano nel Novecento (“Dance in 20th century Milan”) was presented. The book was published by Amici della Scala and Soliart, with the patronage of Banco Lariano. During the presentation, a dance was performed by the pupils of La Scala Ballet School. Every pupil was rewarded with a medal, and the guests were each given a book. Refreshments followed. In the photograph, Anna Crespi is with Carla Fracci, an icon of Italian dance.
