Dear Visitor, Welcome to Milan!

Our country has been a world tourism destination for more than 500 years, even before the word ‘tourism’ was coined in the XIX century.

Whether it’s a question of history, beautiful landscapes, the number of different experiences available, the food, or the warm, friendly people, remember that the diversity of this unique country is embodied within just a few kilometers: from the north to the south, from the east to the west, from the sea to the mountains, from the countryside to the art cities. Don’t forget that only a few kilometers from where you are now, you can enjoy the experiences of a lifetime.

To make sure you don’t miss them, consult Where®.

DUOMO Among one of the most important Gothic buildings in the world, the church constructed over a period of 450 years is the symbol of Milan. To experience the Duomo at its most majestic you must ascend to the roof. 1 GALLERIA VITTORIO EMANUELE II Sometimes known as “the living-room of the Milanese”, this elegant, four-storey arcade, housing luxury cafés and famous designer shops, is covered by a glass barrel vault and a beautiful glass cupola.

CASTELLO SFORZESCO The ancient seat of the ruling Visconti, it was later rebuilt by Francesco Sforza and is now simply known by the Milanese as “Il Castello”.

It houses a number of interesting museums and libraries. Its park is a favourite with old and young alike. 6 6 W H E R E M I L A N I M A R C H 2020

CENACOLO VINCIANO One of the most famous attractions in the world, “The Last Supper” by Leonardo da Vinci is a 15th century large mural painting representing the scene of the last supper of Jesus narrated in the Gospel.

This fragile masterpiece was painted by Leonardo using a technique that was chemically imperfect and by the early 16th century it has started to flake and decay, resulting in numerous restorations. 2 PALAZZO REALE Formerly the residence of all those who governed Milan, from Napoleon to the Royal House of Savoy, the Royal Palace is currently one of the most important cultural centres in the city, hosting exhibitions of international renown. Near the Duomo, it’s the perfect place to escape the crowds of the Duomo’s square.

PIAZZA SCALA The perfect location for the new Gallerie d’Italia Art Museum and the premiere opera house Teatro alla Scala. Rising up in the center of the square is the tall monument dedicated to Leonardo da Vinci. 4 MONTENAPOLEONE DISTRICT Milan is known as one of the shopping capitals of the world and via Montenapoleone, together with the Golden Quad, is entirely given over to luxury shopping. Here the most important fashion designers offer their creations.. 3 BRERA DISTRICT This is an artsy neighbourhood which really comes to life at night. The Pinacoteca di Brera is one of the most important museums in Milan. Its permanent collections offer a wealth of exceptionally good Italian and foreign masterpieces.

DUOMO DI MILANO A PREMIER SYMBOL OF THE CITY

− 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

THE ENIGMATIC DE LA TOUR

► Georges de La Tour, who was well known in his own time, the 17th century, but then practically forgotten for the next two centuries, was rediscovered in 1915 and, even today, little is known about him. This first exhibition in Italy dedicated to him sheds new light on the painting of this mysterious artist. It explores his experimentation with light, the contrast between the devotional world of his ‘daytime’ paintings and the compassionate depiction of his ‘candlelit’ scenes. The exhibition also features painting by other illustrious artists of the era including Gerrit van Honthorst, Paulus Bor and Trophime Bigot.

SPRING SHOPPING In Milan, shopping at the best stores in search of the latest clothing and accessory trends can be an unforgettable experience. Whatever your style or budget, you’ll be spoilt for choice.

ven though it’s still chilly outside, nature begins to wake up in March.

We all feel the touch of spring in the air and, with it, a desire to shop for the new season! Let’s get rid of the old coat we’ve worn throughout winter, to wear something lighter and brighter. The catwalks of Milan, Paris and New York have given us precise indications about the latest trends: from jackets with oversize shoulders to jungle prints, shirts, Nineties-style strappy tops and over-all white. There’s also the ongoing revival of the Seventies, a decade that never ceases to provide designers with inspiration. Whatever your style, you’ll find something suited to your taste and wallet in Milan: from the haute couture boutiques in via Montenapoleone and via della Spiga, to the large international chains in via Torino or Corso Buenos Aires.

Milan is also home to a number of small niche boutiques and shops selling vintage items and the latest urbanwear in the small streets of the historic centre. Below, you’ll find our roundup of the best shops and concept stores in Milan, divided by styles.

The paradise of fashion addicts

If you’re fans of haute couture and designer labels, the so-called Quadrilatero della moda is the place for you. Bounded by via Senato to the north, and Corso Venezia and via Manzoni to the east and west, you’ll find a labyrinth of pedestrian streets. These include the famous via Montenapoleone and via della Spiga, home to all the biggest Italian and

La Tenda

international brands including Prada, Versace, Gucci, Louis Vuitton and Dolce&Gabbana.

Just a little further on, there’s an open-air ‘shopping mall’ renowned for its charm and history. This is the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, nicknamed the ‘living room of Milan’, which connects Piazza Duomo to the La Scala Opera House. Browsing its window displays is a ‘must’. You’ll have a chance to admire the latest collections by Louis Vuitton, Prada, Gucci, Tod’s, Swarovski, Church’s and Borsalino. Alternately, if you’re feeling lazy or don’t enjoy flitting from one shop to another, you can go through one of the many entrances of the Rinascente department store, which are all located just steps from Piazza Duomo. Here you’ll find ten floors of temptation for lovers of luxury shopping, with a selection of the most prestigious designer labels and

CAVALLI E NASTRI A go-to address for the best, most glamorous designer vintage clothing and accessories, plus a few pieces of modernist objet d’arts and antique furniture.

Rinascente

WAIT AND SEE Goods on offer include not only garments and accessories but also vintage clothing, books, stationery and design objects from all over the world: from Peru to France, from Finland to California.

16 W H E R E M I L A N I M A R C H 2020

10 Corso Como accessories for men, women and children, the best beauty brands, the big names of design and an unparalleled array of cafés and restaurants, all under one roof (www. rinascente.it). Those who prefer more soughtafter labels, or edgier, more urban brands like Maison Martin Margiela, Rick Owens, or legendary labels like Alaïa or Comme Des Garçons, will have a field day at 10 Corso Como. This is an oasis of luxury hidden in the courtyard of a Milanese ‘casa di ringhiera’ (banister house) that includes an art gallery, a fashion concept store, signature beauty products and fragrances, a bookstore and a picturesque café (www.10corsocomo.com).

While you’re about it, don’t forget to drop in at Antonioli, in via Pasquale Paoli, a cross street of the Naviglio Grande. This 400 sq.m. industrial space, which hosted one of the first silent movie theatres in Milan in 1920, is home to an expertly curated selection of unconventional, alternate menswear and womenswear and accessories, including Raf Simons, Ann Demeulemeester, Yohji Yamamoto (www.antonioli.eu).

And while we’re on the subject of luxury multibrands, you’ll come across Antonia in Brera, an exclusive, 600 sq.m. space housed inside a period ‘palazzo’. Antonia is a reference point for the Milanese and the international fashion elite, both buyers and designers, as it stocks dresses and accessories by Saint Laurent, Valentino, Lanvin, Gucci and Balenciaga, and also limited edition sneakers (www.antonia.it).

For the more nostalgic shopper

Sadly, when it comes to vintage, Milan is not as well stocked as other European capitals.

However, if you’re an aficionado of this genre, you’ll find a few great alternatives. For example, Cavalli e Nastri is a go-to address for the best, most glamorous designer vintage clothing and accessories. Although it has several branches in Milan, if you have to choose, we recommend its charming boutique in via Brera. It has a continually changing assortment of goods and, if you’re lucky, you can bag some unique collector items. In the vibrant Isola district you’ll find DelphineVintage, a vintage store and research archive that offers a well curated selection of clothing and accessories from the 19th century to the early 1980s. In addition to delicate, ultra-feminine floaty dresses, silk scarves and lace blouses from the beginning of the last century, it stocks prints, embroidery and accessories, available for purchase or hire (delphinevintage. com). Lipstick Vintage, in Corso Garibaldi, is another must-visit address for lovers of old-world fashion, where you can often find interesting luxury designer bargains (www.facebook.com/lipstickvintagemilano).

L’Arabesque, located in Largo Augusto, is a concept store, ‘salotto’ and bookstore with an adjacent café which also stocks an assortment of vintage clothing, bijoux and period books (www.larabesque.net).

Ami Mops

Niche shopping in small medieval streets

Real Milanese trend setters, who’d never dream of associating themselves with the ‘hoi polloi’ shop in Milan’s oldest neighbourhood, a tangle of small, medieval streets described as the ‘Cinque Vie’, because it is the meeting point of five historic streets, stretching as far as the Porta Ticinese area and its neighbouring areas.

You’ll find trendy boutiques, niche designer labels, and a few showrooms that are also open to the public, here. Amongst the picturesque courtyards, artisanal workshops, and an atmosphere reminiscent of an olden-day Milan, you’ll also find several hidden, unexpected gems like Wait and See, in via Santa Marta, renowned for its vibrant, brightly-coloured fashion (www.waitandsee.it).

Just a little further on, Lizard Concept Store is a more recent addition. This small, beautifully outfitted boutique, decorated in shades of pink, sells womenswear designed by small, independent brands, as well as home furnishings (www.lizardconceptstore.com). If you’re looking for irreverent, offbeat bikinis and lingerie, head to Individuals, in via Vigevano, just a short distance from the Porta Genova station (www.individuals.it). There’s also a secret multi-brand store called NonostanteMarras a little off the beaten tourist track, hidden in a courtyard in the Solari district, in a former industrial warehouse. At this exhibition space, art gallery and meeting place, you can

purchase books, paintings, auteur photographs, home furnishings, ceramics, cosmetics and beauty products in addition to the clothing of eclectic designer Antonio Marras (www.antoniomarras.com).

And, what better than a piece of artisanal jewelry to highlight the personality of any outfit to its best advantage? Alongside its designer flagships and boutiques, Milan offers a plethora of show rooms and workshops selling artistic costume jewelry. Some examples are the pieces designed by Daniela De Marchi. At her boutique, Daniela is renowned for her beautifully textured, contemporary jewelry, inspired by nature, and designed and handcrafted in Italy (danielademarchi.it).

In via Cesare Correnti, in the Colonne di San Lorenzo area, you’ll find Atelier Vm: a tiny jewelry store where you can purchase delicate, minimalist bijoux, all created with painstaking attention to detail and inspired by the philosophy of alchemy (www.ateliervm.com).

The perfect Milanese ‘signora’

The stereotype of the Milanese ‘signora’ is stronger than ever, and unlikely to disappear.

The classic bourgeoise Milanese woman loves discreet, high-quality clothing, on condition that it doesn’t have a logo. However, she is not averse to purchasing an important accessory, or a couture sneaker from time to time,

because shopping, as everyone knows, is a tiring business and wearing heels is uncomfortable. Black and bright colours, as well as clothes that look too sexy, are strictly forbidden. Style and understatement are the key words of her vocabulary. So, if you weren’t born in Milan, but would like to imitate this look, here is a rundown of some of the best specialist shops that you absolutely have to visit during your stay in Milan. The queen of this type of clothing is Pupi Solari, considered an arbiter of elegance by the city’s bourgeoisie since the 1970s. At its boutique/’salotto’, not far from Cadorna and overlooking the city’s elegant Piazza Tommaseo, you’ll discover a carefully curated selection of brands like Aspesi, Jil Sander and Massimo Alba, plus children’s clothing, and a few ideas for brides (www.pupisolari.com). Another unmissable reference point for those seeking Made in Italy excellence, and who wish to distinguish themselves with style, are the three La Tenda boutiques in via Solferino, via Mario Pagano and via Plinio. Here, you’ll find an exclusive interpretation of the best Italian and international luxury prêt-à-porter collections, including historic and niche brands, renowned for their quality and Italian craftsmanship (www.latendamilano.com).

NonostanteMarras

A love of fashion, interpreted as a combination of attention to taste, colour, fabrics and ongoing research, is the driving force that inspired Chicchi Ginepri to open her first boutique in 1968. The brand currently boasts three branches in Milan: the historic store in viale Murillo, the boutique in Piazza De Agostini, and via Manin, which also hosts glam events where you can purchase a carefully considered choice of Italian and international designer clothing (www.chicchiginepri.it).

If you’re a fan of minimalist, elegant accessories, highlighted by their geometric lines, and designed to add personality to any look, then the Ami Mops workshop is your go-to address. Located in a small street near Porta Venezia, it sells costume jewelry handcrafted using brightly-coloured resins and noble plastic (www.amimops.com).

For lovers of street style

Dropout

Here too, Milan does not boast the vast array of urban and street style shops that distinguishes the world’s other fashion capitals. Although streetwear is not an intrinsic characteristic of its DNA, it is also the city, which, more than any other in Italy, has been influenced by international trends.

If you’re mad about sneakers, an absolute must is Dropout in the Colonne di San Lorenzo district. Although it specializes in limited editions, emerging and niche brands, it also stocks hard-to-find models by Nike or Jordan (dropoutmilano.com). Located in Piazza Armando Diaz, just steps from the Duomo, One Block Down is a reference store offering top brand collections from Nike, Adidas,

Carhartt and New Balance, also available in special and limited editions. It also offers a selection of clothing and accessories, plus cool magazines like Dazed & Confused and I-D (row.oneblockdown.it). Located in the Castello Sforzesco area, Slam Jam, a company from Ferraro, has been a mainstay of the Italian streetwear scene since 1980. Slam Jam is more than a shop; it is a style of life that encompasses fashion, music, sport and the visual arts. A must-visit for discerning fashion lovers, it offers an eclectic and curated mix of the coolest brands of the moment including Cav Empt, And Wander, Undercover, as well as footwear and limited edition sneakers (company.slamjam.com).

Fashion Outlets If you want to get the best out of your Milanese shopping experience but are not particularly interested in purchasing the latest trends, we suggest that you focus on fashion outlets that offer the collections of past seasons at discounted prices. If you don’t want to stray too far from the centre, we suggest you head to Dmag Outlet, which boasts three stores in the city (two in the via Manzoni area and one in the Tortona district), a favourite with fashion insiders, thanks to its fabulous array of luxury Italian and international designer labels at highly competitive prices (www.dmag.eu).

In via Fratelli Bronzetti, not far from Piazza V Giornate, you’ll find Il Salvagente.

One of the first Milanese fashion outlets, it offers the best of Made in Italy without a hefty price tag (www.salvagente.com).

Located about 15 minutes from the centre of the city, but easily accessible via public transport, Scalo Milano is the only city-based outlet village in Italy. With its 150 stores, 14 restaurants and cafés and 15 home design stores, it offers both Italian and international brands at outlet prices, with discounts of from 30% to 70% year-round.

A shuttle service with three daily departures from Piazza della Repubblica drops you off in front of your favourite stores (www.scalomilano.it).

Collini Milano 1937 Collini Milano 1937 has opened the doors of its first flagship store in Milan. Located in via Santo Spirito, in the heart of Milan’s fashion district, the new 110 sq.m two level retail space combines the rock ‘n roll glamour that characterizes the brand’s aesthetic, with a contemporary irreverent allure.

Its interiors, comprising sensual suede leather seating, brutalist walls and red, hand-shaped hooks contribute to the eclectic décor of the store, embracing customers in a warm, intimate atmosphere.

Its prêt-à-porter collections are characterized by a glamorous total look, including leatherwear and shoes, featuring a minimalist, gender-fluid identity. Other highlights include upcycled furs, created using vintage garments that are reworked and used as the raw material for the new styles.

El Porteño Gourmet A new gourmet Argentine restaurant has opened within walking distance of the Duomo, next to the 15th century Church of San Satiro. El Porteño Gourmet is located inside the Speronari Suites, and is an innovative locale designed for a chic, international and/or business-oriented clientele. Its ambience follows the same format as the other El Porteño restaurants in Milan, recreating the atmosphere of typical Argentinean eateries. Traditional gastronomic offerings have been re-imagined, beginning with the introduction of raw meat, in a dish called Sashimi Porteño. Standouts include asados, empanadas or chicken en escabeche. Latest additions to the menu are pasta, featured here for the first time, and salmon and salads. In addition to the Argentinean wines, Malbec and Torrontes, the wine list features an array of national and international wines, plus a selection of champagnes and sparkling wines. via Speronari, 4.

Describing itself as “the Italian answer to fast food sandwich bars”, PanB recently opened its first flagship store in Corso Garibaldi in Brera. At this go-to address, customers will find gourmet sandwiches that are ultra-light because they are steamed rather than baked. The fillings, all created with PDO (Protected Denomination of Origin) or PGI (Protected Geographic Indication) ingredients like Prosciutto Gran Milano Riserva, Fior di latte and Provola cheese from Agerola and yellow Datterini tomatoes from Campania, are a perfect match for this unique steamed bread. The high point? The bread is steamed under a glass dome, while the customer waits, a method that is a treat to watch, and gives the bread the light coloured crust and a soft, light dough.

The venue also serves a sweet version, the “Bollicino”, made from a butter and egg dough, that has a caramelized crust and a cream filling.

Giosa, when art meets artisanship Collections in crocodile leather created by expert artisans who have elevated the cult of luxury and elegance to new levels, to offer customers a unique creation.

I

n bygone days, Milan was packed with small workshops and artisans. Today, the heritage of that old-world Milan lives on in an atelier in via Ciovasso, surrounded by art galleries and goldsmith’s shops, just steps from the Quadrilatero della Moda. It is here, where the passion for working exclusive crocodile skins is apparent in every creation signed by Giosa Milano, that Giorgio Santamaria and his son Gioele continue to write the history of high-end Milanese craftsmanship. Giosa has pursued its artistic evolution by combining its collection of crocodile leather accessories with new items.

Customers entering Giosa Milano become the “architects” of their creations. They can choose from a wide variety of crocodile skins, available in an extensive range of colours 26 W H E R E M I L A N I M A R C H 2020

and finishes at the atelier’s historic vault where they can create their own unique and customized accessories under the guidance of expert artisans. Giosa has elevated the working of crocodile leather to an art form, shaping it according to the requirements of a sophisticated clientele in search of an exclusive, luxury handcrafted product.

Together with crocodile, colours are the distinguishing feature of Giosa Milano’s collections. The warm shades of coral and fuchsia blend harmoniously with vibrant greens and innovative white, creating a perfect backdrop for the spring/summer 2020 collections. Simple lines, compact shapes, functionalism and elegance are the hallmark characteristics of timeless, unique bags.

Based on statistical evidence, the most popular luxury brands are grouped under the separate category “Top Brands”, which be found on page 29 Sevelar unusual shops, stocking items and rarities for collectors or aficionados in specific product categories, are listed under “Passion Shopping” rather than in the standard shopping sections.

Visitors should note that VAT is 22% and it is generally included in the price of goods.

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.

All restaurants and bars are non-smoking unless a separate smokers’ area is specifically offered.

SIGHTSEEING

Several places like the Duomo, The Last Supper or the Teatro alla Scala are symbols of Milan, hence our decision to list them under a separate category.

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.

EDITOR'S TIP Additionally, Brera is home to the impressive Accademia di Belle Arti, where visitors can admire Milan’s famous painting collection at the Pinacoteca (the Brera Picture Gallery), the historic Biblioteca Nazionale Braidense (Braidense National Library), the Museo Astronomico (The Astronomical Museum), the oldest scientific research institute in the city and the Giardino Botanico (Botanical Gardens).

ART, SHOPPING AND ENTERTAINMENT To start your sightseeing tour on the right foot, we suggest stopping for a cup of coffee at Princi, not just an ordinary bakery, but a meeting point where, amidst the heady scents of “brioches” and “cappuccino”, you'll have a chance to begin your day on a high note. A reference point for antique lovers, Brera boasts numerous antique shops and art galleries.

Among these, Pettinaroli, just relocated from its historic headquarters near the Duomo to no. 4 via Brera, offers a wide selection of maps and antique prints.

As an aside, those interested in bargains or bric à brac should definitely make time to visit the Mercatino di antiquariato e brocantage, held on the third Sunday of each month.

The array of boutiques continues with the elegant artisan footwear sold by Iliprandi or the tailor-made, Italian-style shoes

by Alfonso Garlando. Other points of interest include the elegant womenswear boutique Rosso35, Misani's artisanal jewels for him and for her, the original accessories by Angela Caputi Giuggiù and the unique leather accessories by the new Giòsa Milano boutique in via Ciovasso, 6.

THE PERFUME DISTRICT 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).

Our next port of call is via Fiori Chiari, where we find the beautiful window displays of Culti Milano. The brand also has a boutique at no. 53 corso Venezia (www.culti.com).

Other must-visits while in the area include Olfattorio Bar-à-Parfums (via Brera 5, www.olfattorio.it), Diptyque (via Brera 23, www.diptyqueparis.eu), 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, 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.

An industrial soul with a Romagna heart Moebius is a space with a warm, welcoming atmosphere and a striking aesthetic, where you can settle down with a book, listen to music, or stop for lunch, an aperitivo or dinner. By Chiara Zaccarelli

L

ocated just steps from Milan’s Stazione Centrale, a former 700 sq.m. textile warehouse, featuring concrete pillars and brick walls, has been converted into a “concept restaurant” called Moebius. This versatile space encompasses a tapas bar, a gourmet osteria and a cocktail bar. In addition to hosting a record store, it can also be transformed into a space for concerts. The locale’s Chef, Enrico Croatti, decided to name the space Moebius as a tribute to the renowned French cartoonist, writer and avant-garde artist Jean Giraud, aka Moebius. “I wanted to offer a new concept of cuisine, based on a return to my Romagna origins resulting in the idea of a contemporary, gourmet osteria,” says the Chef.

The osteria is designed to accommodate up 46 W H E R E M I L A N I M A R C H 2020

to 30 diners, and also has a chef’s table for a maximum of eight guests. The menu features a selection of creative offerings including “Raw meat, marrow and sea urchins” or “Beetroot and raspberry tarte tatin”, as well as childhood favourites like “Mamma Franca’s tiramisu”. The Tapa Bistrot serves contemporary cuisine, with dishes and tapas designed to be shared, and is open from noon until 11pm. Those wishing to indulge in an aperitivo or a post-prandial drink can head to the cocktail bar, where they can sample either classic or more creative cocktails.

At Moebius you can stop by for lunch, enjoy a snack and dine, and/or read or listen to music. >> moebiusmilano.it Via Alfredo Cappellini, 25. T: 02 36643680.

Combo, a cosmopolitan space An old banister house in the Navigli district has been transformed into a youthful, multi-functional space where you can work, sleep, eat, drink, meet friends, and have fun. By Chiara Zaccarelli

“I

t was a large house because we were people with big plans”. In addition to being the opening of “Full of Life”, one of John Fante’s best-loved novels, this is the catch phrase that Combo’s founders like to use when introducing it. Combo is a large house full of people, an integrated hostel, and a crossroads of ideas and artistic expressions that aims to give a new meaning to the concept of hospitality. In keeping with the cosmopolitan spirit of Milan, a city that is always focused on the future, albeit deeply rooted in tradition, Combo is housed in a “banister house” in one of the city’s jealously guarded secret courtyards on the Navigli, in a space spread over 3,800 sq.m. It’s a tranquil retreat bursting with life, where you can 52 W H E R E M I L A N I M A R C H 2020

meet friends, work, relax, sip an aperitivo, eat a snack, see an exhibition or attend a presentation. Combo is not just a 217-bed hostel; it’s a bar, a restaurant, a radio station, an art gallery, an events space and a stone courtyard surrounded by greenery, where you can stop and take a break from this city that never sleeps. The cuisine at Combo is based on the concept of sharing.

Breakfast is international, while from noon until late at night the menu is dynamic, intuitive and ideal for a meal, or just a quick break. Offerings include a mixture of Mediterranean flavours, Caribbean influences, street food and traditional Italian dishes. Additionally, the venue’s weekend brunch is an absolute must.

Shortly after opening its doors to the public, MIC (Italian Film Library Foundation), an absolute must-visit for film buffs, was ranked among the 20 most widely visited museums in Milan. Housed in a former tobacco factory, an industrial site of historic interest, it was recently converted into an interactive cultural hub dedicated to films. The museum offers visitors an innovative experience where they can interact with devices and applications, dub films, create soundtracks, edit footage, improve their knowledge thanks to a vast library, and use dynamic maps to find out which locations in Milan were used to shoot movies and locate cinemas in the city, even those that are no longer operative. But there’s more. The journey continues in the Film Archive, which houses a log of films that are generally inaccessible to the public. These include 25,000 titles, including ‘Rocco and His Brothers’ and ‘Blade Runner’. By wearing a pair of Epson Moverio BT smart glasses and headphones, visitors simply look at the QR codes next to exhibits. This triggers video and audio content in qHD (Quad High Definition).

The museum also boasts a rich program of events, exhibitions and screenings.

Surfer's Den Located on the outskirts of Milan, this charming venue is hidden inside a sports complex and immersed in a semi-wild garden of roses, hydrangeas and surfboards. It’s so far removed from the hustle and bustle of city life that after you’ve sampled one of their cocktails, expertly mixed by its master bartender, you’ll start smelling the sea. Please Note: since this is a sports complex you need a valid annual pass to get in. The pass costs approximately €10. www.surfersden.it.

MUSIC & SCIENCE

Camparino, the ‘new’ aperitivo What’s more Milanese than an aperitivo? It was at Camparino in Galleria, a legendary locale, situated in an equally noteworthy location, that the Milanese aperitivo ritual achieved its high point. Established in 1915 in Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II by Davide Campari, it instantly became a big hit with the Milanese. Today, following an in-depth renovation, it has re-opened its doors to the public with a revamped menu and identity.

Campari and starred chef Davide Oldani have teamed up to bring customers a new concept of cuisine, designed to be paired with Campari cocktails. At the new Camparino, Oldani suggests a signature creation called Pan’cot, meaning “roasted bread” in Milanese dialect. This simple, traditional yet versatile dish is interpreted in different versions, and serves as a base for delicious combinations of meat, fish, fruit and vegetables. Oldani’s specialty can be sampled in the Sala Spiritello on the first floor.

Alternatively, the Bar di Passo on the ground floor is designed to satisfy the requirements of those on a tighter schedule and offers something for all times of the day.

Highlights include a selection of dishes signed by Oldani, as well as a bar and café service, beginning with croissants for breakfast. www.camparino.com

Sant’Ambrogio, the treasure of Milan

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 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 56 W H E R E M I L A N I M A R C H 2020

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.
