BAGS ‘FOR PLEASURE’ A new Bianchi e Nardi 1946 boutique in the heart of the fashion district Quadrilatero della Moda

B

ianchi e Nardi 1946 set up a new, elegant and innovative boutique in Milan in Via Bagutta 18. The Florentine brand of high-quality leather items, which combines contemporary design with traditional craftsmanship, has chosen a prestigious historical building in the heart of the Quadrilatero della Moda. Clients will be welcomed in an environment which resembles a dining room of an elegant period home in Milan of the early 19th century with contemporary and dreamlike elements. A room designed to ensure one feels at ease, where one can relax and enjoy the tranquillity.

Bags and other leather accessories are elegantly displayed like precious

crockery set on a large table in the shape of the Pirelli skyscraper - a tribute to Gio Ponti and one of the most iconic architectural buildings in Milan - where guests can be seated to admire the products which are also displayed on brightly-coloured “sideboards” and original display cabinets. Now in its third generation - along with Andrea, Laura, Gabriele, Alessandro and Giulia - Bianchi e Nardi collaborates with major international fashion brands and at the same time, strengthens its identity with its own collections, as well as its 2014 brand of the same name with creative director Alessandro Fumagalli.

It is thanks to the skills of Florentine leather masters

that their products are of great value and stand out in terms of workmanship and originality such as those belonging to Il giardino dell’Eden, the new limited edition recalling a fairy tale world and the charm of dreams. Unique and high-quality materials and carefully crafted details for collectors’ bags whose design is reminiscent of dawn, sunset and spring in full bloom. An exclusive collection, completed and enhanced by an elegant line of fragrances for the home, essences that nourish the soul and release your feelings, where every single aroma conjures up the colours, beauty and sheen that characterises the creations of Bianchi e Nardi.

A WALK AMONG BEAUTIFUL AND LESSER-KNOWN OUTDOOR PLACES

B

efore your very eyes but hidden in the shadow of more famous monuments, there’s a less wellknown Milan that’s fascinating, unexpected and colourful.

It’s a veritable open-air museum to be explored at a gentle pace, full of monuments both ancient and modern which are often missing from the classic tourist itineraries. Come with us and discover these outdoor masterpieces, starting at the Central Station and finishing at the state-of-the-art CityLife district.

THE APPLE MADE WHOLE AGAIN BY MICHELANGELO PISTOLETTO Created and installed in the centre of Piazza del Duomo for the opening of EXPO in May 2015, Michelangelo Pistoletto’s huge Apple Made Whole Again now occupies a key site in the city: the square outside Stazione Centrale. The work symbolises the evolution that involves all of human society.

MONUMENTAL CEMETERY One of the city’s most emblematic places, founded in 1866 as a cemetery open to all Mila-

nese residents. Over time the site has become a genuine paean to Milan; not only a place for the dead but also an openair museum of sculpture and an oasis of peace, tree-lined and far from the city noise.

CASA GALIMBERTI At number 3, Via Malpighi stands a building that’s an authentic example of early 20th-century architecture.

Casa Galimberti is considered one of the most brilliant expressions of Milan’s Liberty style. This extraordinary building was commissioned by the Galimberti brothers and designed by the architect Giovanni Battista Bossi.

DISCO SOLARE

BY ARNALDO POMODORO One of the key works in the artistic career of Arnaldo Pomodoro, the Disco Solare or Disco Grande was originally displayed in the Piazza Ducale of Vigevano, later moved to the Sforza Castle, and finally placed in its current position in Piazza Meda. In its abstract design, the sculpture encapsulates the proportions of Leonardo da Vinci’s Vitruvian Man.

Set against the vibrant backdrop of the city, it represents Milan’s dynamism and the power of the sun.

MONUMENT TO VICTOR EMMANUEL II In the centre of Milan’s Piazza Duomo stands the equestrian statue of Victor Emmanuel II, the first king of Italy. The monarch is shown on horseback urging on his soldiers in the battle of San Martino, 1859. The scene depicts the entry of the Piedmont army in Milan during the War of Independence. It is flanked by two marble lions.

COLUMNS OF SAN LORENZO An architectural site located near Porta Ticinese, thought to be built in the late Roman period. This is Milan’s most ancient construction: the columns, bases, capitals and most of the surviving architraves date back to the second half of the 2nd century AD. In the evening this is a place for young people, with numerous bars and restaurants nearby.

L.O.V.E. IN PIAZZA AFFARI It’s a story of love and hate between the Milanese and 33

MONUMENTS

COME WITH US AND DISCOVER THESE OUTDOOR MASTERPIECES L.O.V.E., the famous middle finger by Maurizio Cattelan that stands in front of Palazzo Mezzanotte, home to the Italian Stock Exchange, in Piazza degli Affari. The name is an acronym for Libertà, Odio, Vendetta, Eternità (Freedom, Hatred, Revenge, Eternity).

Eleven metres of provocation and irreverence towards the financial power represented by the buildings and the period of history when they were constructed. The bulging veins of the truncated hand give the square a new allure and attract tourists and performances.

THE CORTILE DELLE ARMI AT CASTELLO SFORZESCO The largest of three courtyards at Castello Sforzesco is so named because in the past it was used by soldiers for training and weapons practise. The courtyard contains the Filarete Tower, the moat, home to a colony of cats, a pergola of mulberry trees, the Bona Tower and the statue of San Giovanni Nepomuceno. A genuine openair museum, testament to the lost Milan of centuries past.

THE CORTILE D’ONORE AT PALAZZO DI BRERA The main courtyard of the Palazzo di Brera, home to the celebrated art school and gallery. The courtyard, like the rest of the building, dates back to the first half of the 17th century and was originally the cloisters of the monastery of Santa Maria di Brera, run by the Jesuits until their religious order was suppressed, when the building became the property of the state and turned into the home of the new academy of fine arts and museum.

BAGNI MISTERIOSI IN THE TRIENNALE In the gardens of the Triennale there’s a surrealist work consisting of a pool with two huge bathers, a multicoloured swan and a colourful fish. This is the Fontana dei Bagni Misteriosi, created by Giorgio de Chirico in 1973 for the 15th Milan Triennial, when twelve artworks were installed in Parco Sempione.

ARCO DELLA PACE The monument that symbolises the city, the Arco della Pace stands at the edge of Parco

Sempione, creating a unique and glorious place where young people like to gather on summer evenings. It’s a marble structure topped by a bronze sculpture. The ten galloping horses took some seven years to complete and occupy the entire top of the arch, two at either side and six in the centre, pulling the chariot of a female figure representing Peace.

COLORIS BY PASCALE MARTHINE TAYOU AT CITYLIFE Pascale Marthine Tayou’s installation Coloris catches the eye from a distance and arouses the curiosity of passers-by as it stands out against the skyscrapers of the CityLife district. The work consists of a forest of different-coloured poles topped by egg-shaped elements. The bright, vibrant colours chosen by the artist give a sense of joy and reference the diversity that embraces a borderless world.

Visitors are invited to immerse themselves in the work, walking among the poles and experiencing an almost childlike wonder.

The Salone del Mobile returns to Milan, and with it the spotlight on a flagship element of Made in Italy: design, seen as an integrated system of creativity, manufacturing and technology that gives rise to the contents of the world’s most desirable homes, from furniture to accessories.

This year’s edition - taking place from 18 to 23 April promises to be even more interesting, because Euroluce, the biennial lighting exhibition, has been completely redesigned, and acts as a trial for new approaches. The exhibition space has been revolutionised and expanded with an arena for talks, space

for four exhibitions (including Natura, tempo e architettura by photographer Hélène Binet, who “draws with light”) and 12 sites featuring artworks, all sharing the topic of light, which is also explored in exquisitely technical terms, launching an implicit challenge to the outside world. Content design and layout are entrusted to Beppe Finessi and Formafantasma. Maurizio Nannucci, one of the leading contemporary artists working with artificial light, presents a major site-specific work, a long neon inscription: You can imagine the opposite, the opposite being a way of living that’s creative, 41

MILAN DESIGN WEEK IS ENRICHED

BY THE FUORISALONE EVENTS curious and virtuous. Another significant place and a true cultural stronghold is the bookshop specialising in design, art and illustration, including a section of literature that explores the subject of light in various ways.

The store is curated by Corraini Editori, and the project is by the Formafantasma studio, which conceived it as a welcoming, intimate and cosy place.

And there’s another new feature of the exhibition: there are no pavilions on the upper level. Everything happens on the ground floor, abandoning the former division between classical and design.

Among the many changes is a confirmation that’s also in line with the new ideas: the SaloneSatellite, whose theme Design: where are you going? has been investigated through the responses of design schools and universities all over the world: 550 young designers from 34 different countries.

While all this is happening, Milan is enlivened by hundreds of Fuorisalone events, organised in different areas of the city as part of Milan Design Week. So keep an eye on the Brera Design District , where 240 events will take place in the area’s streets, palaces and showrooms, such as the one in Largo Treves: Dry Days, Tropical Nights by Agostino Iacurci for glo for art, which turns the facade of Palazzo Treves into a work of art. Another venue to consider is the Ex-Macello di Porta Vittoria, the former slaughterhouse complex brought back to life thanks to over 70 projects for the free Alcova exhibition, ranging from the immersive journey of Atelier Luma Arles to an installation by Habitarematerials. And don’t forget the Porta Venezia Design District and the 5Vie quarter, which includes the area between Corso Magenta, Sant’Ambrogio and the Colonne di San Lorenzo.

such as Galleria Rubin (Via Santa Marta, 10), established in Milan in 1997.

Galleria Rubin has been focusing on contemporary painting and sculpture, both Italian and foreign, from the very start. Many beginner artists have been discovered and launched over two decades and some of them have made a name

for themselves on the international scene.

Special attention is devoted to the quality of the artwork introduced at the gallery, in terms of both technical execution and the artistic language’s originality and uniqueness.

Over the years, the art gallery has attended some of the most important international art shows and has held exhibitions at museums and foundations across the city to promote the artists it represents, such as La magia del domestico, the first solo exhibition by Milanese artist Fabiola Gironi, curated by Caterina Corni, held recently at the gallery and showcasing 12 paintings and drawings made by using different techniques and in an intimate and personal style.
