The Dives in Misericordia Church

"K2T Wisata"
The Dives in Misericordia Church in Rome has been consecrated.Designed by American architect Richard Meier, the church project had won the international competition organized by the Vicariate in Rome. The simple yet severe design, which manages to combine the sacredness of the interior with the liveability of the large external spaces, features three impressive white concrete sails that swell out as if blown by an easterly wind.
As the main technical sponsor, Italcementi had been following the progress of the project closely, by providing assistance with construction techniques and supplying highly technological and innovative construction materials, amongst which the new white cement Bianco TX Millennium is worthy of note. The patented formulation of this product is actually able to ensure unparalleled and time-enduring white.In addition, Italcementi had developed a special concrete mix design providing continuous supervision during production and erection steps.

Pinacoteca di Brera in Milano is housed in a large palace from the 14th/15th centuries. It was built for the Jesuits who founded a school, a library and an observatory here. The original art collection at Brera was intended as study material for the students at Accademia di Belle Arti, which was founded in 1776.

There are mostly paintings by Italian artists and they are arranged in chronological order and with rooms with paintings of different schools.
