The [Instituto Bardi’s Portuguese biography](https://institutobardi.org.br/os-fundadores/lina-bo-bardi/) records her move to Milan in 1940, her studio with Carlo Pagani and her magazine work. She moved to Brazil in 1946 and completed the Casa de Vidro in São Paulo in 1951. This is a concrete connection between Milan’s design history and Brazilian architecture. As an optional reading exercise, follow the biography’s Milan and São Paulo sections and write a short timeline in Portuguese, distinguishing where she worked from where she built. Contemporary art offers another route. HangarBicocca’s exhibition *Cildo Meireles: Installations* ran in Milan from 27 March to 20 July 2014. Its [bilingual exhibition guide](https://web-assets-hangarbicocca.pirelli.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/HBCMLibrino.pdf) remains a useful resource: it explains *Babel* (2001), a tower of radios tuned to different stations, as an exploration of sound and social diversity. The exhibition is historical; the guide provides material to investigate now. You could use its images as prompts for describing objects and sounds in Portuguese. ### Different musical traditions in the neighbourhoods Local programmes show distinct sides of Brazilian music. In Corvetto, C.I.Q.’s [Roda de Samba with Feliz da Vida](https://www.ciqmilano.it/eventi/roda-de-samba-feliz-da-vida-e-amici/) was scheduled for 20 September 2026, with samba raiz repertoire from Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo and an invitation to listen or sing around the musicians’ table. In Barona, the [Festa Junina programme at Barrio’s Live](https://www.barrios.it/event/festa-junina-barrios-live-giugno-2026/) for 14 June 2026 paired percussion and forró workshops with quadrilha and a live band. These dated examples give learners a reason to explore the repertoire and dance traditions of each programme. Capoeira also connects music with movement. [ASD Capoeira Milano](https://www.capoeiramilano.it/) identifies its location in San Siro and publishes [adult courses for 2026-27](https://www.capoeiramilano.it/corsi-di-capoeira/corso-adulti/) that include paired practice, the roda and music. Its account of [capoeira’s cultural elements](https://www.capoeiramilano.it/capoeira-milano/capoeira-cose/) places the practice within Afro-Brazilian history and describes the roles of music and singing. That context matters when exploring vocabulary such as *roda*, whose meaning here is bound up with a cultural practice. Check the association’s current arrangements if you want to investigate participation. ### Films and books beyond a single image of Brazil The [2025 Agenda Brasil programme](https://vagaluna.it/pt-br/agenda-brasil-pt-br/agenda-brasil-milao/agenda-brasil-milao-xii-edicao/) documents fourteen films at Milan’s Anteo Palazzo del Cinema from 30 October to 6 November, screened in their original languages with Italian subtitles. Its subjects ranged from a travelling circus in Pernambuco in *Mambembe* to the aftermath of the Rio Doce disaster in *Saudades do Rio Doce*. The programme can serve as a discovery list: choose a film that interests you, investigate where it can now be watched, and prepare a few questions in Portuguese about its setting. The listed festival dates have passed. For reading, the University of Milan’s [Fondo Camões](https://sba.unimi.it/it/collezioni/fondi-librari/fondo-camoes) contains more than 1,300 monographs, including literature from Portugal, Brazil, Angola, Cabo Verde and Mozambique, alongside criticism and language studies. The collection grew through donations associated with Instituto Camões in the 1990s and 2000s. Browsing its linked catalogue is a way to widen a reading list beyond Brazil while keeping each author’s country and context in view; consult the library about access to particular books. ## Lesson formats and levels Private lessons and adult groups support beginner, intermediate and advanced learners.
