Sacro Monte
SPONSORS
Santa Maria del Monte is a suggestive village inside the Park “Campo dei Fiori”,
that offers some viewpoints on the Alps, Prealps, and also the profile, through its
skyscrapers, of Milan. The village can be reached through the sacred path of the
Chapels, which dates back to 1604 and is devoted to the Mysteries of the Rosary.
Tradition says the Sanctuary of Santa Maria del Monte, famous in particularly for
the cult of its Black Madonna, has been founded by Saint Ambrogio in 381, in
memory of the victory over arian heresy.
Next to the Sanctuary there is the Monastery, founded in the 15th century, where
nuns still lives in seclusion.
Every day the Sacro Monte of Varese, which belongs to UNESCO Site “The Sacred
Mountains of Piedmont and Lombardy”, is destination of devoted people and
pilgrims: the most famous one was Pope John Paul II, who visited it in 1984.

Villa Toeplitz was built in 1901 and is named after Polish banker Joseph Toeplitz,
who bought it in 1914.
In the 1920s the park was redesigned. An Italian garden, carachterized by a very
original architecture of paths and plays of water, was built in the centre. To the
east there is a large area, that is more English-style. Toeplitz and his wife Edvige
planted a rich and varied vegetation that largely still exists.
Thanks to ecleptic Lady Edvige, the villa soon became the focus of an intense
cultural life.
In 1972 the complex, that occupies approximately 4 hectares, was sold to the
Municipality of Varese and the park was opened to the public.
One of the wonders of Mathematics is you go somewhere in the world and you meet
other mathematicians, and it’s like one big family. This family is a wonderful joy.

(*)A MUSICAL JOURNEY THROUGH
Corrado Greco – Piano
Corrado Greco got his piano degree “magna cum laude” at the age of
19 in 1981. In the following years he enriched his musical instruction
thanks to teachers as Alberto Mozzati, Bruno Canino, Paul Badura-Skoda,
Michele Campanella and Laura De Fusco. He later graduated at full
marks in composition and electronic music at the Conservatorio “G.
Verdi”, Milan. He has been a prizewinner of important national and
international piano competitions and has performed as a soloist for
some of the most important Italian concert institutions as well as for
numerous musical associations and Festivals in US, Russia, Japan, Indonesia, Switzerland, France, Germany, England, Belgium, Spain, Portugal,
Egypt, Slovenia, etc.. His curriculum includes numerous concerts in
chamber music formations, which brought him to collaborate with wellknown chamber music groups and soloists. Recently he has been much
acclaimed for a tour in piano duo with his former maestro, Bruno Canino.
Beside that, he performed several times as soloist with orchestra. He
authored several recordings for RAI. Besides his career as a performer,
Corrado Greco is involved in educational and multimedia authoring
activities. Since November 2007, Corrado Greco teaches at the“Verdi”
Conservatory in Milan. Since 2001 he is in charge as Artistic Director of
the concert series of the University of Insubria in Varese, where is also
involved in teaching musical communication and media studies.
Claude Hauri – Cello
Born in 1976 in Lugano, he graduated from Zurich College of Music
with Raphael Wallfisch after studying at the Lugano Conservatory with
Taisuke Yamashita. Since then, Claude Hauri has played as principal
cellist in the Youth World Orchestra, and as cello solo in the Ensembles
Nuovo Contrappunto in Florence and Algoritmo in Rome. In chamber
ensembles with Mario Ancillotti, Dora Schwarzberg, Pier Narciso Masi
und Guy Bovet, he has given concerts in Europe, Australia and in South
America, for Festivals such as the Marta Argerich Festival in Lugano,
the Amici della Musica di Palermo, the Unione Musicale di Torino, the
National Academy Melbourne, Musica Insieme di Bologna, the Biennale di Venezia, Nuova Consonanza Rom, Spazionovecento Cremona,
IGNM Zurich, Associazione Musicale Lucchese, in the Teatro El Círculo
in Rosario and the Fundación Kinor in Buenos Aires. As a soloist, he
has collaborated with conductors as Denise Fedeli, Mario Ancillotti,
Piero Gamba, Luis Gorelik and Reinaldo Zemba. He has a great interest
in the collaboration with contemporary composers as Salvatore Sciarrino, Paul Glass, Mario Pagliarani, Sylvano Bussotti, Luis De Pablo und
Dieter Ammann. His recordings were released by the labels Emi,
Nuova Era, Jecklin, Radio Svizzera Italiana, Novecentomusica and
Amadeus. He plays on a splendid Gian Battista Zanoli cello, dated
1740.
