An Italian tightrope walker crossed a
wire strung between two Milan skyscrapers at a height of about
140 metres on Friday.
The man, Andrea Loreni, performed the stunt in opening up Bam
Circus 2023, an international display of circus acts which is
this year dedicated to 'wonder'.
Loreni crossed a rope stretching between two iconic Milanese
landmarks, the Bosco Verticale (Vertical Wood) designed by
Stefano Boeri, and the UniCredit Tower, Italy's tallest building
at 231 metres, designed by Pelli Clarke.
Many fans flocked to BAM, Milan's tree library, to applaud
Loreni's feat at the start and end of his crossing, watching on
big screens.
The performance was set to music by Cesare Picco.
