DUOMO DI MILANO A PREMIER SYMBOL OF THE CITY

8 W H E R E M I L A N I O C TO B E R 2020

− After crossing the threshold of its 18th century façade in Candoglia marble, the interior of the Cathedral is revealed in all its majesty. One of the most important Gothic buildings in the world, the church, constructed over a period of 450 years (begun 1386), is the symbol of Milan. Built in the shape of a Latin cross, the cathedral is divided by soaring pillars into five naves, the largest of which measures 45 metres in height. Its inside columns measure 3 and a half metres in diameter.

The interior boasts an apse with a large rose − window, stained glass windows decorated with episodes from the Bible, chapels and high marble columns with capitals featuring statues of saints.

To experience the Duomo at its most majestic − you must ascend to the roof (either by elevator or by steps) where you will be surrounded by an outburst of pinnacles, turrets and marble statuary and, naturally, the city’s famed golden “Madonnina”.

Here you can wander among 135 spires and 3,400 statues.

Guided tours for small groups help visitors − learn about the secrets behind the Duomo’s construction. The tour starts from the back of the choir which leads to the Crypt housing the tomb of San Carlo Borromeo, and then moves on to the Archaeological Area where you’ll find the remains of the Battistero di San Giovanni alle Fonti, dating back to 397 A.D. This is where Sant’Ambrogio christened St. Augustine. Next is the old Basilica of Santa Tecla (4th century).

Before accessing the Cathedral and its treasures, − visit the nearby Museo del Duomo, located inside Palazzo Reale. The museum houses more than 150 masterpieces from the 15th century to the present time, including statues, architectural models, plaster casts, terracottas and paintings.

If you’re on a tight schedule but want to learn − more about the secrets of the Duomo, you can take advantage of the new Duomo Milano App for smartphones, featuring images and content in 9 languages including Italian, English, French, German, Spanish, Russian, Chinese, Japanese and Portuguese. www.duomomilano.it PH © VENERANDA FABBRICA DEL DUOMO

Riccardo Chailly

From the 16th century to the end of the 19th, Milan was the world point of reference for the construction of “Grand Gala” horsedrawn carriages. Ruling families and the European nobility would in fact approach the Milanese “carrozzai” [coachbuilders] to order the designs for all kinds of horse-drawn carriage, following the latest fashion trends.

The availability of power offered by the Navigli was of considerable use to the plants where the Masters worked. Among the historical documents of these companies we discover some addresses in that “quadrilateral” that, before belonging to fashion, was of that “luxury” typical of Milanese endeavour that we still know well today: coachbuilders and customers were the protagonists of that change that brought the “motor carriage”, the “automobile”, onto the roads.

With hundreds of employees, Belloni, Castagna and Sala were the oldest and most important Milanese firms in the sector: they exported all over the world and were among the first who attempted to build the bodies of this new type of vehicle. Thanks to his passion and his typically Lombard initiative, it was Giuseppe Ricordi, son of the well-known

long-playing record entrepreneur, who was the driving force behind this evolution. A cycle racing enthusiast, in around 1880 he began to work on steam-driven automobiles and those with electric engines, even building them at the photography business entrusted to him by his father. Having reached agreements with the first builders of petrol engines, such as De Dion, Benz and Daimler, he entrusted to the Milanese bodyshops the construction of the first Italian automobiles, which he began to export all over the world.

After participation in various conferences, meetings and automobile races in France, Belgium and Italy, the Giuseppe Ricordi company officially exhibited its creations in 1901 at the International Exposition of Milan in what can be considered the city’s first Motor Show (section “Breeding and Sport: Dogs, Poultry, Sport, Photography, Automobiles, Cycling”).

There were a number of Milanese brands present: Isotta Fraschini, Bianchi, Zust Bugatti, to name just a few. A few years later Alfa Romeo, OM and others would join them. Their distinguishing feature?

n a city as cosmopolitan and open to innovation as Milan, it is no surprise that art finds a place even in unconventional locations, in dialogue with nature and urban architectures, blending in with them. Thanks to the Ministry for Cultural Heritage and Activities and Tourism, which has carried out an official mapping of public art in Italy, now those who love spending a pleasant time outside and who don’t have time on their side can find the visiting experience to suit them, to discover the sites of contemporary art in Milan.

“Needle, Thread and Knot” PIAZZA CADORNA

Places that are at a distance from each other, such as the fountain and the square of Cadorna Station, are joined together virtually by a yellow, red and green needle and knotted thread, a metaphor for the lines of the Milanese underground, which connected up the city as early as the 1990s. This is the meaning of the imposing work by Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen that is visible outside Cadorna railway station.

PIAZZA GAE AULENTI A glass ogival structure designed by Alberto Garutti at the foot of the UniCredit Tower reveals 23 chromed brass tubes, which, almost like long trumpets, create communication - also in sound terms - between different storeys of the building that are apparently distant and without any relationship with each other.

PIAZZA AFFARI The name of this large statue outside the Milan Stock Exchange is the acronym for “libertà, odio, vendetta, eternità” (i.e.freedom, hatred, revenge, eternity), but the real meaning of the middle finger of sculptor Maurizio Cattelan is intentionally ambiguous.

open up a good bottle of red wine! But what kind of red? Full-bodied, elegant, smooth… produced with raisined grapes, aged in wooden casks, a red that caresses the palate like a soft, warm velvet scarf.

BY CORNELIA G. HASSMÜLLER

Speri

Zyme

“R

ed, firm, dry”, that’s the wine produced from the north to the south with autochthonous grapes, applying various methods of raisining, which warms the heart and soul.

Let’s begin with Amarone della Valpolicella, a wine that was established as a DOC in 1968 and as a DOCG in 2010. Our Amarone is a Venetian wine, born in the Valpolicella, a zone with a particular vocation for wine-growing.

Its “classic” area of production, in the province of Verona, with its mild and moderately rainy

climate, offers ideal conditions for growing the autochthonous grapes named Corvina Veronese, Corvinone and Rondinella from which it is made. After harvesting, the grapes gathered between September and October are placed in drying rooms for at least three months. The ancient art of raisining allows the loss of around half the weight of the grapes, thanks to the evaporation of the water in the berries, creating a concentration of sugars and aromas. When raisining is completed, the grapes are pressed and vinified. Then ageing takes place in large or small casts for a variable period – depending on the wine you wish to obtain – (four years for the “Reserve” version).

Now we move to Lombardy, specifically to the Valtellina, a zone famous for its “heroic viticulture” and for the most renowned Vino Nobile among the wines of the Valtellina, Sforzato della Valtellina (or “Sfursat”, as it is called in the local dialect).

The name derives precisely from the practice of “forcing”, namely prolonging the maturation of the grape. This wine boasts a very long history and was established as a DOCG in 2003. In this case too, it is the unique properties of the territory – with its mild climate, sunny due to its south exposure, with the Alps protecting it from winds and damp – that have made it so successful. Obtained from a selection of the best pure nebbiolo grapes, Sforzato enjoys an average raisining period of 110 days. After vinification it must have a minimum alcohol level of 14% and undergo at least 24 months of ageing in wood casks.

As regards the organoleptic profile of these reds, this obviously depends on the wine concerned, based on the blend of varieties, raisining method applied, duration, climate and ageing … in general, however, all have a very extensive and complex organoleptic profile in common and boast a very long ageing potential. These are structured wines, rich in alcohol and full-bodied. Fruity (dried or preserved in spirits), spicy (pepper,

liquorice, cloves), balsamic (resin, clay, pine), vegetal (earth, brushwood) and many other notes are presented to the nose. Acidity is less evident to the palate and the wines prove to be more balanced and harmonious.

On the pages that follow you will find my TOP 8, not only of the wines of the two DOCGs presented, but also those by other producers who have succeeded in obtaining excellent wines in this style. Imagine drinking one of these wines on a wet, grey, cold day.

Absolutely perfect!

erman precision and Milanese vitality, a winning union which has found a home in Corso Vercelli, one of Milan’s most prestigious shopping streets. Fielmann, a leading German eyewear company, recently opened its first Milanese store here. The store is located inside an eclectic 1930s ‘palazzo’, and is spread over 240 sq.m., with a layout designed specifically to make the customer experience unique. The eyewear is displayed on exquisite illuminated shelves, a concept studied to highlight Fielmann’s vast range, and maximize its most iconic frames, including those of the “collezioneMILANO”, created 36 W H E R E M I L A N I O S ECPTO TEB MEBRE R 2020 2 020

especially for the city of Milan, and the new colours of the “AB” collection, dedicated to chef Alessandro Borghese, the face of the brand.

The new “collezioneMILANO” celebrates the city of hidden corners, the power of understatement and “no logo”: it showcases the different personalities of Milan, that of the innately elegant ladies and that of the most contemporary street style, represented by seven acetate women’s models (three spectacles and four sunglasses).

The new styles, developed by Fielmann with Marco Collavo, the company’s own Italian designer, are 100% Made in Italy. The Italian manufacture is highlighted by an effigy concealed inside the arm, in which the Fielmann trademark and the words ‘made in Italy’ are joined together in a single logo. Other highlights include an in-store “Service Station”, where customers can have their glasses checked and cleaned with an ultrasonic cleaner, and a hospitality area featuring a corner bar, where customers can relax and enjoy a cup of coffee.

TAX-FREE SHOPPING

By law, non-EU residents are entitled to reclaim the VAT paid on items purchased and exported from the EU: before finalizing a purchase, they should ask the shop assistant whether they are eligible for a tax refund.

Shopping hours are generally from 10am to 7pm; less centrally located shops still take the traditional lunch break. Most shops are closed on Sundays (except those located in central Milan) and on Monday mornings. Ask your Concierge.

ENTERTAINMENT

Several venues offering food are included in this section. These are considered as meeting places rather than gourmet addresses and thus explain our decision to list them here rather than under “Dining”.

DINING

Reservations for most restaurants are strongly advised. In Italy, service is included in the price meaning that although tipping is not compulsory, it is obviously appreciated as a sign of satisfaction. Some menus include the word “coperto”, a small surcharge corresponding to the cost of the service and bread. Although no dress code exists in Italy, semiformal clothing is usually considered de rigeur at restaurants.

The emotion of a jewel

Salvadori established its first store in the magical city of Venice in 1857. At that time, it only carried watches, period bedside and travel alarm clocks, grandfather clocks and wall clocks.

However, it was only thanks to Gabriele Pendini, the company’s longtime president who had a passion for gemstones, that Salvadori became a tangible expression of high-class, sought-after jewelry. Today, Salvadori Diamond Atelier interprets every desire with style and experience, offering women emotions that go straight to the heart. Don’t miss the new Sospiri collection, inspired by the Bridge of Sighs in Venice, a symbol of love and romance. The collection was designed and created by designer Marzia Pendini, who was inspired by the history of the bridge and fascinated by the structure of the small windows with its unique geometries. All the jewellery pieces - rings, earrings and pendants - are made of white or pink gold and are each set with 5 diamonds that mark the junction points of the intertwining design.

THE WORLD OF ARMANI

Giorgio Armani boutique

In Milan, Armani is not simply a fashion brand but rather an integral part of city life, deeply rooted in the city’s history.

Starting from the Giorgio Armani boutique in via Sant’Andrea, in the same location where in 1983 “King Giorgio” opened his first boutique: 1200 sq.m. where the past “is woven with the future” (www.armani.com. Via Sant’Andrea, 9.

T: 02 76003234. M1 San Babila. Map G4).

Don’t forget the Emporio Armani Uomo at Rinascente (2nd Floor), where you can find clothing and accessories for him (corner at Rinascente, Corso Vittorio Emanuele II. T: 02 8852489. M1-M3 Duomo. Map F4).

Armani/Casa

44 W H E R E M I L A N I O C TO B E R 2020

At the Armani/Manzoni31 you can also find the following Armani lines: Armani/Dolci by Guido Gobino, Armani/Fiori, Emporio Armani man and woman, junior collection of Emporio Armani, EA7, Armani/Libri, Armani beauty (via Manzoni 31, T: 02 72318600.

M3 Montenapoleone. Map F4).

The Armani/Casa flagship store in Corso Venezia 14, with 16 display windows showcasing the brand's collection, is a reference point for interior decor, from furniture to lighting; from accessories to textiles (www.armani.com/casa).

Armani/Dolci

In Milan, a number of the coolest locations also carry the Armani signature.

These include Nobu Milano, the sushi restaurant (www.noburestaurants.com/ milan. Via Pisoni 1, T: 02 62312645. M3 Montenapoleone. Map F4) and the new Emporio Armani Caffè & Ristorante open from morning until late evening (via Croce Rossa 2, T: 02 72318680. M3 Montenapoleone. Map F4); on the ground floor, you can find the new large café, where one can sample and purchase fresh pastries made in-house or Armani/ Dolci by Guido Gobino products.

The aesthetic balance of the exterior remains unchanged, with the addition of a second outdoor dining area. On the first floor, there is the restaurant, open for lunch and dinner, with a luxurious champagne bar reception area at the entrance. Don’t miss the new delivery service at Emporio Armani Ristorante and at Nobu Milano.

The interior architecture of the new boutique has been inspired by style elements of the 1930s, the period to which the building dates back, but these influences have been used in order to develop a completely contemporary design.

The Armani/Silos exhibition space, opened in 2015, gathers over 40 years of the Armani universe, showcasing the designer's unique aesthetic. Four floors of innovative space host the permanent collection alongside temporary exhibitions, (www.armanisilos. com. Via Bergognone, 40. Map D6).

Armani dominates the centre of Milan with a large billboard at the junction between

via Cusani and via Broletto (Map F4), for years one of the symbols of the city.

And, since 2011, Armani is also a hotel: 95 rooms, a haute cuisine restaurant, a luxurious SPA and magnificent panoramic views over the city (Armani Hotel Milano, via Manzoni 31. M3 Montenapoleone.

Valli Tessuti Alta Moda ●

Milan’s historic centre is contained within a relatively small area which is now mostly closed to traffic, meaning that it’s easy to explore on foot. There’s no need to choose between planning a ‘cultural’ itinerary or a ‘shopping’ itinerary because you can combine the two and get the most out of both. In addition to being packed with several of Milan’s most famous attractions, this area is home to myriad shops, including big-name fashion brands, historic ‘botteghe’ and some of the city’s most sought-after cafés, bars and eateries. In the space of just a few kilometers you’ll find the Duomo, the Galleria, Teatro

alla Scala, the Castle, the ancient Basilica di Sant’Ambrogio, as well as sporadic traces of ‘Roman Milan’, the first settlement and the predecessor of present-day Milan.

AROUND THE DUOMO For the ultimate one-stop shopping experience look no further than the Rinascente flagship store (under the arcades): an amazing array of fashion items under just one roof! Just a little further on, the window displays of Rocca 1794 will seduce you with their collections of several of the world’s most desirable jewellery and watch brands.

TOWARDS TEATRO ALLA SCALA: THE GALLERIA Known as the ‘living room’ of Milan, the Galleria links Piazza del Duomo to piazza della Scala. For the past 150 years, it has been a meeting place for the Milanese and their guests. In the Galleria, haute couture takes centre stage. In addition to Prada and Versace, other standouts include Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Armani, Borsalino, Luisa Spagnoli, Bric’s, Tod’s, Stefanel and Massimo Dutti alternated with historic workshops (whose signs serve as an indication of their storied past).

A reference point in Milan for the best Made in Italy cuts is Valli Tessuti Alta Moda, with the perfect fabrics to make elegant outfits.

You say ‘aperitivo’ and you immediately think of Camparino in Galleria, a landmark location and a reference point where Milan’s elite meet to partake in one of Italy’s oldest social traditions! Carlo Cracco’s new locale is spread over four floors and focuses on opulent aesthetic and culinary offerings, from breakfast to post-theatre dining.

For those in search of a taste of tradition, located just nearby is Luini (renowned for its one-of-a-kind “panzerotti”). Conversely, those favouring a more sought-after gourmet experience can either opt to eat at Ristorante Galleria where you enjoy a taste of Milanese food and hospitality (for generations, the Galli family has defined Milanese hospitality in the Galleria!) or at Ristorante Savini, one of Milan’s most iconic landmark restaurants, or at the Marchesi alla Scala restaurant.

Don’t miss the Lavazza flagship store, a space where coffee lovers can sample an authentic espresso and innovative coffee-based recipes.

VALLI TESSUTI ALTA MODA A reference point in Milan for the best Made in Italy cuts.

Located in via Verdi, just steps from Teatro alla Scala, here expert staff will assist you in the search for the perfect fabric to make elegant outfits, prêt-à-porter or formal wear.

These fabrics are inspired by the patterns of the most up-todate haute couture collections. Valli stocks a wide assortment of exquisite fabrics for men (including pinstripes and prince of Wales check by Ermenegildo Zegna and Loro Piana) and women (Valentino and Ungaro), as well as bolts of cloth to make coats and outerwear, shirts, accessories and bridal gowns.

THE BEST OF BRERA DISTRICT ADVERTORIAL

Pinacoteca di Brera the company’s passion and commitment to tradition, a perfect example of Made in Italy artisan luxury. Nestling in the heart of the picturesque Brera district, its workshop fashions a vast range of bespoke creations designed to suit individual tastes, real made-to-measure items ranging from clothing for men and women to accessories such as bags, briefcases, wallets, belts, watch cases, desk-tops and just about anything that can be created using only the finest crocodile skin, including more unusual, contemporary items like Iphone or Ipad covers (www.giosamilano.com).

THE PERFUME DISTRICT Considered one of Milan’s quaintest districts, in addition to its picturesque artisanal workshops, Brera is slowly becoming populated with small yet delectable shops carrying only the most sought-after fragrances, transforming the area into a ‘district of Artistic Perfumery’. For both lovers of signature fragrances and for neophytes who are eager to delve deeper into this desirable universe, we suggest a short tour to experience the enchantment of ‘Haute Parfumerie’.

Ristorante Daniel At no. 4 via Brera, we find the The Merchant of Venice boutique, an historic perfumery epitomizing the art of Venetian perfumemaking offering a luxury line encompassing a wide range of exclusive perfumes for men and women contained in elegant bottles inspired by the tradition of the city’s famous hand-blown Murano glass (www.themerchantofvenice.com).

At no. 5, we find the Olfattorio Bar-àParfums, dedicated to specialty perfumery, and boasting a truly unique range of artistic perfumes, niche cosmetics and luxury make-up (www.olfattorio.it). The space also has a corner dedicated to Penhaligon’s, the luxury British perfume house established in 1870. The Olfattorio is also present in Milan, at no. 23 via Brera, with the Dyptyque boutique, purveyors of the famous and uber trendy Dyptyque candles (wwwdiptyqueparis.eu), the L’Artisan Parfumeur in via Bagutta 8, renowned for its pioneering spirit and contemporary fragrances for more than 40 years, and a space at Rinascente in piazza Duomo.

Other must-visits while in the area include Profumo (via Brera 6, www.profumomilano.

com), the Amouage boutique (via Fiori Chiari 7, www.amouage.com), Dr.Vranjes (via Fiori Chiari 24, http://drvranjes.it), Officina Profumo - Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella (via Madonnina 11, www.smnovella.com), Creed (via Madonnina 17, creed.cale.it), 9Nine (via Ponte Vetero 22, www.beautysanspa.com) and Fragonard (via Solferino 2, www.fragonard.com).

TASTING SUGGESTIONS Between visiting one shop and another, you might be surprised to suddenly discover that it’s time for lunch. Try the typical Parma-based charcuterie specialities at Parma & Co, or the famed sandwiches sold by Panino Giusto. The afternoon is likely to pass by in a flash until you suddenly realize that it’s aperitivo time: there’s no doubt that you’ll be captivated by the purely Art Déco-style atmosphere of El Tombon de San Marc, the trendier atmosphere of Fashion Café in via San Marco; another option is Ristorante Daniel offering contemporary Italian cuisine and the chance to enjoy something new from day to day.

ANGELA CAPUTI GIUGGIÙ The precious collections designed by Angela Caputi are a meld of fashion and art. Angela Caputi first established her exclusive workshop in Florence, in 1975, where she personally designs all her collections under the “Angela Caputi Giuggiù” brand name. Renowned throughout the world, her bijoux, made entirely by hand using synthetic resins, are an authentic expression of “Made-in-Italy” elegance. Sophisticated, original creations combined to create unique objects both in terms of colour and shape.

Located - as the name suggests (“caveau” means bank vault) - in the spaces that once played host to a bank, the Caveau is characterised by a refined atmosphere, the result of the combination of wrought iron, wood and glass elements, with show-cooking kitchen and suffused lights.

The culinary proposal is a tribute to typically Italian conviviality, with a focus on the flavours of Southern Italy - D’Ambrosio’s native land - cleverly reinterpreted by the creative flair of multi-Michelin-starred chef Felice Lo Basso.

The attention devoted to the choice of and value given to raw materials is expressed in an à la carte menu that boasts specialities of the land and sea, alongside two tasting menus, of 4 or 6 courses, which offer a full immersion in the dishes of the Mediterranean tradition, reinvented in a creative vein. Standing out among the proposals are “Crispy bacon scallop, mixed herbs and flowers, mint and green apple mayonnaise”, “Parmigiana of aubergine, red shrimp, burrata cheese and tomato powder”, “Durum wheat spaghetti with fresh oven-baked tomato, savoury ricotta and basil”, “Potato and mussel pasta with Neapolitan provola cheese mousse” and “Roasted octopus brushed with barbecue sauce with mugnoli broccoli and potato gateau”, followed by a selection of desserts, either à la carte or from the trolley.

Sant’Ambrogio, the treasure of Milan With its gilded altars, priceless relics, mysterious legends and archaeological finds, the Basilica of Sant’Ambrogio never ceases to amaze.

A landmark attraction for anyone visiting Milan.

BY CHIARA ZACCARELLI

T

he second most important church after the Duomo, and a unique artistic testament to the early Christian and medieval eras. This is the Basilica of Sant’Ambrogio, located in the same-name square. Built between 379 and 386 A.D. at the behest of the bishop of Milan, Ambrogio, who later became the patron saint of the city, it was restored and enlarged several times over the centuries. The Basilica is fronted by a large four-sided portico, offering a clear 58 W H E R E M I L A N I O C TO B E R 2020

view of the large hut-shaped façade and its two bell towers. Located on the left side of the four-sided portico, you’ll find the so-called “Devil’s Column”. According to legend, during a struggle with Sant’Ambrogio, the devil ended up with his horns stuck in the column. If you look closely, you can actually see the indent of two holes. On your wanderings through its interior, you’ll come across the iconic Gold Altar, a masterpiece of the Carolingian era, created between 824 and 859. The altar has a wooden base layered with sheets of gold and silver, precious stones and enamels. It was built to signify the presence of the remains of St. Ambrose, St. Gervasus and St. Protasus, which are located beneath the altar and still visible through a small window in the crypt.

In 2005, archaeological research resulted in the discovery of ninety tombs of martyrs, dating back to the 4th and 5th centuries A.D. >> Piazza Sant'Ambrogio, 15.
