THE BEST PLACES TO VISIT

Fuorisalone

If you will be in Milan for the Salone del Mobile, you cannot miss out on a few imperative places and events. Milan is not the place for slumbering.

Did you know that another design event will take place in Milan from the 4^th to the 9^th of April? It is not a fair nor a specific location. Fuorisalone is an ensemble of events related to Salone del Mobile and distributed by different places all across the city. The exhibitions can concern automotive, technology, telecommunications, art, fashion and food. The purpose of it is to portray design as a dynamic event asking for the engagement of visitors and embedded into the geography of the town.

Duomo Milano

Whichever the purpose of your visit to Milan is, you must visit the Duomo, or at least wander around the Piazza. The emblematic cathedral, with its towering pillars, intricate pinnacles and pyramid-shaped façade, is the ultimate symbol of the Lombardian city. Apart from being an irrefutable tourist attraction, you can also climb up to the roof, surrounded by marbled pinnacles and overlook the city.

Montenapoleone

If you are a fashionist, you have most certainly hear about Montenapoleone, or Milan’s fashion district. At every corner there is a Dior, Gucci, Giorgio Armani and other upscale fashion brands. Arcaded boutiques, elegant delicatessens, irresistible showrooms, Milanese cakes, fancy heeled shoes, debonair purses. A cluster of fashion, exquisiteness and a sense of poshness.

Brera District

At night, Milan is reborn in the Brera district. Besides being home to the Academy of Fine Arts, Brera is a debonair neighborhood emanating bohemia and art. Located at the center of the city, Brera is where culture and nature meet: there are several antique shops and galleries, such as the Pinacoteca, as well as the Braidense National Library and the Botanical Gardens.

“Manet and Modern Paris”

If you are an art enthusiast, you must love Manet. Luckily for you, the “Manet and Modern Paris” exhibition was loaned by the Musée d’Orsay, in Paris, and will be taking place at the Palazzo Reale, until July. The exhibition features a selection of over one hundred works, including 55 paintings both by Manet and by some of the major artists of his times including Boldini, Cézanne, Degas, Gauguin, Monet, Renoir and Tissot.
