English: The survigin side of the "Ice house cloister" of the Università Statale (State University) building in Milan, Italy. At the center stand the remainings of the ancient Ice house, an underground, round room in which snow and ice were stocked in winter, in order to have cold food and drinks in summer. The cloister itself was half-destroyed by World War II bombings (only one side and a half of the old building is still standing). Picture by Giovanni Dall'Orto, February 22 2008.
