(ANSA) - Milan, May 24 - Bits of plaster fell off a portico
of Milan's La Scala Thursday, near the entrance to the storied
opera house.

The area has been cordoned off and technicians are seeing if
other fragments, swollen by recent rain, are at risk of coming
off.
Workers are scrubbing the part of the arch roof where the
