Flamingos surprise — Stefano Casarola

The town of Milan hides lots of surprise. Just behind the traffic and caos of Corso Venezia, there is a peaceful area full of liberty buildings which deserves a walk. And in Via Cappuccini 3, through the gates of Villa Invernizzi, you can discover some unexpected flamingos wandering around the garden of the villa and the swimming pool specially built for them. They were imported from Africa and Chile by the owner of the Villa, Romeo Invernizzi, founder of the homonymous dairy firm. These flamingos have been living this place since 1970, they have perfectly adapted and don't wish to fly away.
