Starting from the main spire of the Duomo, right under the Madonnina, Alberto crosses the city at night, discovering the more or less hidden treasures of the Lombard capital: from the stage of the Teatro alla Scala to the basilica of S. Ambrogio, from the Brera art gallery to the library Ambrosiana, custodian of Leonardo's priceless Atlantic Codex. A journey into art that takes the viewer to the presence of Vinci's Last Supper but also among the "Seven Heavenly Palaces", the gigantic installation by Anselm Kiefer kept in the Pirelli Hangar Bicocca, or among the futurists of the Museo del Novecento. A journey into the history of the city, former capital of the Roman Empire, proud medieval municipality and one of the most splendid lordships with the Viscontis and the Sforzas. This route does not lack the most representative places of Milanese life today, such as the Central Station, the Gallery, the Navigli and the skyscrapers that have redesigned the skyline in recent decades.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
