The La Scala Theatre Ballet (Italian: "Corpo di ballo del Teatro alla Scala" ) is the resident classical ballet company at La Scala in Milan, Italy.
 One of the oldest and most renowned ballet companies in the world, the company predates the theatre, but was officially founded at the inauguration of La Scala in 1778.
 Many leading dancers have performed with the company, including Mara Galeazzi, Alessandra Ferri, Viviana Durante, Roberto Bolle and Carla Fracci.
 The official associate school of the company is the La Scala Theatre Ballet School (Italian: "Scuola di Ballo del Teatro alla Scala" ), a constituent of the La Scala Theatre Academy (Italian: "Accademia Teatro alla Scala" ).
Piazza della Scala is a pedestrian central square of Milan, Italy, connected to the main square of Milan, Piazza del Duomo, by the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II passage.
 It is named after the renowned Teatro alla Scala opera house, which occupies the north-western side of the square; the building actually includes both the opera house and the Museo Teatrale alla Scala (La Scala Museum), dedicated to the history of La Scala and opera in general.
 On the opposite side to "La Scala", to the south-east, is the facade of Palazzo Marino, Milan's city hall.
 Another relevant building on the square, on the north-eastern side, is the Palazzo della Banca Commerciale Italiana.
 The south-western side of the square has the entry to the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele as well as Palazzo Beltrami.
 Most of the architecture of the square is due to architect Luca Beltrami, who designed the eponymous palace, the facade of Palazzo Marino, and the Banca Commerciale Italiana building.
 The centre of the square is marked by the monument of Leonardo da Vinci by sculptor Pietro Magni (1872).
Enzo Muccetti (born June 29, 1912 in Corfinio; died March 24, 1977 in Parma) was a great Italian classical bassoonist and pedagogue.
 He studied at the Giuseppe Verdi Conservatory in Turin, originally with the intention of learning the cello but shifting to the bassoon which was more suited to his small hands.
 Although he started out with the Buffet system, he switched to the German system.
 His work improving the mechanics of the bassoon was readily accepted by Heckel, which eventually designed and dedicated a special model of bassoon to him, "Model 41, Special E.M." Heckel built bassoons with three different styles of bells, one of which, the "Muccetti" bell (also known as the Italian bell), was named after him.
 He served as principal bassoonist at La Scala from 1947 to 1971.
 After conducting a La Scala concert, Paul Hindemith wrote in his programme "if all bassoonists were so marvelous, life, and especially writing for the bassoon, would be more of a joy than it usually is."
 Similarly, Herbert von Karajan wrote after a series of concerts at La Scala, "I'm pleased to have found a bassoonist of such stature that in almost all European orchestras there is no one to be compared with you."
 Muccetti was a professor at the Parma Conservatory, where his students included Evando Dall'Oca (his eventual successor at La Scala), Romano Santi, Michael Chapman and Wendy Philips.
Carlo Maria Badini (2 June 1925, Bologna — 19 April 2007, Bologna) was a renowned Italian arts administrator.
 From 1964 to 1977 he was the Sovrintendente or General Manager of the Teatro Comunale di Bologna and from 1977 through 1990 he was the Sovrintendente of La Scala.
 Badini created controversy as a result of the unorthodox methods he used to revitalize La Scala's finances, which had reportedly reached a 2.8 million dollar (US) deficit, such as the introduction of television cameras to record performances and allowing advertisements on the programmes.
 These innovations allowed the opera house to emerge from the deficit within two years of their implementation.
 Upon his 1990 departure from La Scala, Badini continued work in the Italian artistic community, becoming chairman of the National Theatre Organization in Italy and co-founding the Mozart Orchestra in Bologna, which he formed alongside former La Scala music director Claudio Abbado.
Francesco Dominici (1885–1968) was an Italian operatic tenor particularly admired for his acting in comedic roles.
 He made his professional opera debut as Fernando in Donizetti's "La favorite" at the Teatro Donizetti in Bergamo in 1914.
 He created the role of Prunier in the original 1917 production of Puccini's "La rondine" at the Grand Théâtre de Monte Carlo, a role which he performed at many other opera houses including the Teatro Comunale di Bologna.
 Over the next several years he played mostly leading roles at the Teatro Costanzi in Rome including Rodolfo in Puccini's "La Bohème", Fenton in Verdi's "Falstaff", and the Ernesto in Donizetti's "Don Pasquale".
 In the early 1920s he joined the roster at La Scala where he began playing more buffo roles than leading roles.
 In 1921, he sang the role of doctor Cajus in Verdi's Falstaff at La Scala and in 1922 was Filipeto in the company's first production of Ermanno Wolf-Ferrari's "I quattro rusteghi".
 In 1926 he created the role of Emperor Altoum in the original production of Puccini's "Turandot" at La Scala.
 In 1929 he went on tour with La Scala to Germany.
 Other roles that Dominici performed at La Scala include David in Wagner's "Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg", Monostatos in Mozart's "The Magic Flute", and the Neipperg in Umberto Giordano's "Madame Sans-Gêne".
 In 1931 he moved to Cuba, where he taught music for many years.
 Dominici died in Havana in 1968.
