On March 24, 2023, in Milan, at the Sormani Library, in Corso di Porta Vittoria 6, in the Sala del Grechetto, the exhibition “Salir per l’aria e confidarsi al vento” was inaugurated, a documentary exhibition on the history of flight to Italy, starting from the first balloon experiments of the second half of the 18th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A particular in-depth study is dedicated to the figure of Paolo Andreani, a Milanese nobleman who was the first Italian to fly in a hot air balloon in 1784 and whose bicentenary from his death occurs this year. The figure of this great aeronaut is closely linked to the history of the building in which the library is located, which in those years was owned by the Andreani Sormani family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition, curated by the expert Marco Majrani, author of a very recent essay on the aeronaut, in collaboration with Claudia Cisaro (Aeronord), also presents other pioneers of flight through documents and relics from private collections and from the Museum of Flight in Volandia, alongside materials from the library’s historical collections. The itinerary concludes with an excursus on the history of aerostatics and aviation in Milan and Lombardy up to the present day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
