	Review: Milan since the Miracle. City, Culture and Identity
		In Milan, the peripheral estate of Comasina was one of the first to register a mass diffusion of television sets: ‘90 per cent of families had bought a set (presumably on credit) by 1962’ (p.
		Milan, after all, was the city where Enrico Cuccia, Italy’s financial ‘éminence grise’ operated as the undiscussed boss of Mediobanca, the most powerful Italian merchant bank which acted as a powerhouse for the country’s major industrial groups.
		Milan is also the city where the Banco Ambrosiano operated for years before it collapsed in 1982 amid a gigantic scandal of political and economic corruption, long before Tangentopoli and even before the Socialist Party’s period of political dominance.

		But the truth is it will take a minor miracle to prevent the German club from reaching their first European final in five years tonight.
		Milan, however, could be in a fitter state to pull off that improbable five-goal victory.
		Indeed, with miracles in mind, the brittle midfield player, who was injured again last Sunday, admitted that he had been advised by someone to make a pilgrimage to Lourdes, "but as I am Portuguese, it may make more sense to go to Fatima".

	Interaction Ivrea: News: Press Materials: Interviews: John Foot: 'Milan since the Miracle'
		In Milan, in the fifties, you had at the same time the consumer boom, the economic boom, industrial revolution and television, so that combination is a very heady mix of creating a myth of a certain type of city.
		The contract that Milan offers you is that if you work hard, and you follow the clocks and the time, we'll integrate you, you can stay here, you can make money, you can also have the American dream here, of which Berlusconi is the most extreme example.
		It is all due to this particular moment in Milan's history where those factors that I talked about before came together and combined: the boom, the industrial district, the demand for furniture, and the presence of a cultural group of architects who came into contact with producers who wanted to make quality products.

	Review: Milan since the Miracle. City, Culture and Identity
		This capacity to adapt and re-invent itself, in Milan’s case through fashion and design linked to centuries of experience in textile and furniture manufacture, allowed the city to move fairly smoothly from an industrial to a ‘post-industrial’ economy.
		I still maintain that the individualism and familism of the 1980s and 1990s had deep roots in the time of the miracle, but this does not mean that the road between the 1950s and 1990s was a linear one, nor that everybody was a familist then, and everyone is a familist now.
		For me, ‘Berlusconi’, ideologically, was born in the Milan of the 1950s – an important moment for Milan and for Italy as a whole.

	Jan A.P. KACZMAREK The Third Miracle : Film Music on the Web CD Reviews March 2000 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Kaczmarek's "The Third Miracle" is a transparently manipulative practice of drama and technique, that would be sufficient were it not for the presentation of grand ideas seemingly for the sole purpose of assaulting them as the audience listens on.
		The composer neutralizes enchanting tracks such as the solo piano in 'Frank and Roxanne' with dreary mistakes like his ridiculous manner of combining nightclub double bass and the monophonic singing of the Warsaw Female Choir in 'Domine Jesu.' Unless beatniks raided the church winery, this has no use here.
		But I hope I am not cliché when I say this tapestry has frayed edges, holes, and seriously deserves to be put in mothballs for awhile.

	Flipside Movie Emporium: Miracle in Milan Movie Review
		Miracle in Milan represents the dreams of homeless people everywhere -- an angel swooping down and giving them the better life.
		Aldo Graziati's cinematography alternates between bleak and upbeat, capturing De Sica's visual style; a touch of depression, a large splash of hope.
		Miracle in Milan is a fairy tale -- it even begins, "Once upon a time." We rarely pity Toto despite his harsh situation.

	Salon Entertainment \| Home Movies by Charles Taylor: Kurosawa in the shadows
		"Dodes'ka-den" is somewhat reminiscent of Vittorio De Sica's "Miracle in Milan," a gentle comic fantasy about a ramshackle community of the poor in which the goodness of the characters is ultimately rewarded.
		In De Sica's finale, they climb upon the brooms of the city's street sweepers and are borne up to Heaven.
		"Dodes'ka-den" doesn't have the optimism of "Miracle in Milan," but the film does approach De Sica's surging humanism, which sweeps away the barriers between us and the people on-screen.

	Rhetoric Department
		This paper focuses on a reading of Hardt and Negri's striking appropriation of Vittorio De Sica's masterpiece of neorealist cinema, Miracle in Milan (1951), as a cinematic emblem of their own project in Empire.
		Accordingly, Miracle in Milan provides the authors with a powerful expression of an ethical perspective opposed to such contempt.
		As the title suggests, the film does revolve around the notion of a miracle, an intrusion of transcendence in its immanent, neorealist poetics.

	Major Films of Italian Neorealism
		That famous still shot of the father and son sitting on the sidewalk in The Bicycle Thief reminds me of Chaplin and Coogan in The Kid.
		In Miracle in Milan, a very humorous film which indicates a divergence with the stylistic constraints, if not the themes, of neorealism, I am reminded of René Clair's film, A nous la liberté, a possible influence on Chaplin's Modern Times.
		De Sica explores the personalities of the characters to a greater extent than Clair did, but there is a lot of loony dashing around as pure-hearted "little guys" prevail over the bumptious forces of technocracy.
