Frequent Eurocity trains dash north from Milan via the Simplon Tunnel to Switzerland. On the way to the tunnel, those express trains speed by Lake Maggiore, affording fine views of the Borromean Islands.

The station here is remarkably grand, as befits what was once an important gateway into Italy, with all the paraphernalia of customs and immigration. From Domodossola, it is just another half-hour through the Simplon Tunnel to Brig, an appealing Swiss town that guards the northern end of the Alpine tunnel, before trains head on to Berne, Basel and the north.

When watching Maestro, it’s easy to feel as though no world exists beyond the one shared between Leonard Bernstein and Felicia Monteleagre. The film, for the most part, is concerned only with the couple, their domestic life, and the turbulence of their romance. But wherever a sense of place is cultivated to its fullest potential—in a dreamy mid-century Big Apple, for example, or on the Bernstein’s Connecticut estate, and especially across the pond in the English town of Ely—there’s magic to be found.
