August au bord du lac Though different one from the other, Lombardy’s five lakes all have one thing in common: a unique landscape enhanced by lush vegetation and panoramic views. August is synonymous with a day at the lake!

here’s no better time than summer to start planning an out-of-town weekend, perhaps to search for some respite from the heat at the edge of a lake. Start packing, this is a great opportunity to discover the natural treasures that make Lombardy, ‘The Lake District’ par excellence.

DISCOVERING HISTORY ON LAKE MAGGIORE Lake Maggiore is Italy’s second largest lake; its shores wash up on the banks of Piedmont and Lombardy, and its northern basin lies in the mountainous region of Switzerland.

It is steeped in history, abounding in rocky coves that create real natural terraces with a panoramic view. During past centuries, aristocrats and wealthy bourgeois locals holidayed here during the summer months, and traces of its luxurious past are still apparent in several of its better-known lakeside destinations, including Arona and Stresa. The latter, with its pedestrian streets that are closed to traffic and dedicated to shopping, is the perfect destination for visitors wanting to indulge in some retail therapy, or to relax at one of its delectable waterfront cafes or restaurants. In August, its banks are enlivened by the annual International ‘Stresa Festival’ featuring an action-packed calendar of classical music concerts and live dance performances(www. stresafestival.eu). Lake Maggiore's smart, low-slung white ferries shuttle back and forth between the belle époque resort of Stresa and Isola Bella, the jewel of the Borromeo family, dominated by monumental terraced gardens and the 17th-century residence of Palazzo Borromeo, whose rooms and underground caves have now been transformed into a museum with collections by well-known artists, priceless furniture, marbles and neo-classical stuccoes.

If you’ve decided to explore the treasures of Lake Maggiore, we recommend a visit to the city of Angera, whose star attraction is its massive 13th-century hilltop castle.

In addition to offering a breathtaking view over the lake, its impressive architecture and lush gardens still remain to this day. End your tour on a high note with a revitalizing lunch at one of the area’s charming eateries (www.borromeoturismo.it). The fish menu at the fantastic Michelin-starred Sole di Ranco restaurant may be ideal. The restaurant

serves contemporary cuisine accompanied by a fabulous selection of fine Italian and international wines and spirits (www.ilsolediranco.it).

FEEL LIKE A STAR AT LAKE COMO If you’re in search of a chic destination, where you might catch sight of an A-lister or movie star, including first and foremost George Clooney, Lake Como is your go-to destination. Renowned for having inspired Alessandro Manzoni to

14 W H E R E M I L A N I AU G U S T 2017

write his famous novel ‘The Betrothed’, it is the most spectacular of the region’s three major lakes. Winding and shaped like an upside-down Y, it dominates the provinces of Como and Lecco, with each arm assuming a different identity depending on its location.

If you find yourself on the Como side, make sure to visit the Gothic Cathedral and the Romanesque basilicas of Sant’Abbondio and San Fedele. Until 31 October, you can take advantage of the extraordinary opening of the monumental complex of the Roman Baths dating back to the 1st century A.D. The baths can be visited free-of-charge on Tuesday and Thursday from 10am to 2pm and on Saturday from 10am to 6pm (www.lakecomo.it). If all of the sightseeing in Como has made you hungry, head to the I Tigli restaurant in Theoria. Located in the heart of a 15th-century bishop’s palace, this delightful Michelin-starred restaurant offers guests sophisticated, contemporary cuisine, served on a glass-fronted patio with a view over the inner courtyard (www. theoriagallery.it). After your meal go towards Cernobbio (situated north-east of Como) and take a breather at Villa Gardaland

Erba, currently a go-to destination for events related to the world of fashion, collectibles and motoring. With its spectacular lakeside view, it is renowned for having been the summer home of director Luchino Visconti, when he was a child (www.villaerba.it).

Alternately, head north in the direction of Isola Comacina, a triumph of lush Mediterranean vegetation and a perfect escape from the summer heat. If historic dwellings are your passion, we strongly suggest a visit to Villa del Balbianello, one of the ‘pearls’ of the lake, and the romantic setting for a variety of movie scenes. Do you remember the marriage between Anakin Skywalker and Padmé Amidala in Star Wars: The Attack of the Clones? Its terrace played a leading role! Allow yourself to be captivated by the Baroque beauty of Villa Carlotta, embellished with statues and sculptures

by Antonio Canova. In addition to hosting exhibitions year-round, it boasts an actionpacked events calendar in summer. Save the date! On 4 August, at 8.30pm, the villa will stage a unique performance of ‘Amor Vincit Omnia’ a piano and violin concerto paying homage to the symphonies of Beethoven and Schubert (lakecomofestival.com). The charming town of Bellagio, situated at the intersection of the inverted Y shape that characterizes Lake Como, is an absolute

must-see. After exploring its treasures, take a breather and enjoy a sundowner with a great lakeside view.

LAKE ORTA, THE SECRET LITTLE SISTER OF THE ITALIAN LAKES French author, Honoré de Balzac called Orta’s island “a spot coyly hidden and left to nature, a wild garden” and these words used to describe this pocket-sized lake lying at the foot of the mountains still ring true today.

Located approximately 80km from Milan, and surrounded by verdant hills, Lake Orta is the ideal destination for those wishing to spend a relaxing day while discovering its history. Situated in the heart of the Lake and easily accessible from the mainland via ferry boat, the Island of San Giulio is a must-visit destination for a quiet stroll and the perfect place to commune with nature (www.orta.net). It is not by chance that the Island is traversed by the ‘Road of Silence and Meditation’, a narrow path connecting the jetty to a small monastery, a Romanesque basilica and Palazzo Vescovile. If you’re a fan of folklore and local festivals, head to the city of Omegna where, on 20 and 27 August, you can admire one of the numerous displays of fireworks that enliven the banks of the lake. Alternately, if you’d like to sample the flavours of Piedmont cuisine, we recommend a visit to the small town of Arola where you can delight your taste buds with genuine, home-cooked food served at Ristorante

AN ASTONISHING LOCATION According to tradition, the Hermitage of Santa Caterina del Sasso in Leggiuno (75 km from Milan) was founded in the 12th century by Alberto Besozzi, a rich local merchant who, after having survived a heavy storm while crossing Lake Maggiore, decided to give up his worldly goods and live the life of a hermit.

The particular appeal of this Hermitage, which houses important frescoes, is mostly due to its astonishing location perched on a rocky overhang with a sheer drop down to the lake.

The Hermitage can be reached from the square above. Visitors can descend taking the panoramic 268-step staircase, or by using the elevator in the rock. www.santacaterinadelsasso.com

Lake Iseo La Zucca (Facebook: Ristorante La Zucca), while enjoying the idyllic scenery. Villa Crespi in Orta San Giulio is another great option for those searching for something more sophisticated. Set within a beautiful park, the Villa’s restaurant is helmed by two-Michelinstarred chef Antonino Cannavacciuolo, whose creative cuisine will delight your palate with unusual pairings, locally-sourced ingredients and a selection of the finest vintages (www. villacrespi.it).

LAKE ISEO, A PLEASING DISCOVERY Due to its physical appearance, Lake Iseo is affectionately referred to by the locals as ‘Little Capri’. Like the Island in Campania, it has steep rock faces that plunge into the lake.

Though not as well-known as its Lombard counterparts, it is no less appealing. The small streets skirting the lake offer magnificent views of the surrounding scenery and the beaches carved out in the coves lying below

it. If you’re feeling energetic, take advantage of the beautiful weather and walk up to one of the area’s small local churches, for example, the Church of San Lorenzo in Castro (www.iseolake.info). If all this walking has made you hungry, you can enjoy a romantic dinner at the I Due Roccoli Restaurant in Iseo. The restaurant serves mouth watering traditional cuisine on its stone patio, adorned with oldworld furniture. End your day’s outing and meal on a high note with a glass of ‘bubbly’ from the nearby Franciacorta region (www.idueroccoli.com).

LAKE GARDA: A BLEND OF SPORT AND CULTURE If you’re feeling active and would like to discover what lies beyond the confines of Milan, then Lake Garda could be exactly what you’re looking for. Surrounded by three distinct regions – Lombardy, Trentino AltoAdige and the Veneto – the lake’s cultural

Floating Piers, a unique perspective of Lake Iseo Say Lake Iseo and one of the first things that may come to mind is ‘Floating Piers’, the massive temporary installation that last year attracted hordes of foreign visitors to the banks of Sulzano; based on an idea by Bulgarian-American sculptor Christo, and created as a tribute to his wife and artist Jeanne Claude, this floating platform, measuring 3km in length and 16km in width, was designed to enable visitors to walk on it from Sulzano to Monte Isola and then on to the small private island of San Paolo. Covered by a shimmering yellow-orange nylon fabric, the walkway, like all Christo’s projects, was absolutely free and open to the public, allowing visitors from all over the world to discover the beauties of the lake from a new, unique perspective. www.christojeanneclaude.net

diversity and wind-ruffled waters make it a paradise for water sports and more.

Gardaland, one of Italy’s largest amusement parks, boasts several of the country’s most famous attractions, including roller coasters, simulators and theme parks designed to appeal to visitors of all ages (www.gardaland. it). Alternately, if you’re keen to learn more about Italian history and culture, head to the Lake’s north-eastern shore to visit the Vittoriale degli Italiani (The Shrine of Italian Victories) the house-museum dedicated to renowned poet and patriot Gabriele D’Annunzio, where you can admire memorabilia, airplanes and the vast library that belonged to the writer. The venue is open daily from 9am to 8pm and guided tours are available (www.vittoriale.it). End your trip of discovery with a stopover in Sirmione, a spa town situated on the edge of the lake.

Recharge your batteries and indulge in a therapeutic mud or thermal water treatment, an invigorating massage or a whirlpool experience followed by a mouth watering candle-lit dinner at the La Rucola restaurant which serves local dishes upgraded with a creative twist (www.ristorantelarucola.it).

Summer vibes in the city Whether you’ve already discovered the lake region, are on the verge of doing so or are simply looking to enjoy a relaxing stay in the city, you’re in luck. Even in August, Milan offers visitors a plethora of exciting things to see and do.

f you’ve heard that nothing goes on in Milan in August, then you’ve heard wrong! Where® Milan has decided to debunk this myth by offering you the ultimate checklist for things to do in Milan in August. Our insider tips include a selection of boutiques and shops where, even in August, you can give free rein to your desire to make purchases, several must-visit gourmet destinations where you can savour the best of Milanese cuisine and much more. You’ll find them all while leafing through the magazine! On the other hand, if you’re looking for the hottest musical and cultural events on Milan’s August calendar, this summer, the ‘Courtyard of Arms’ at Castello Sforzesco is offering

a must-attend extravaganza titled Estate Sforzesca. The program features more than 70 open-air events dedicated to dance, classical music and theatre, all staged in a unique historical setting. Among these, two of the most notable include the 'PianoLink Silent Wifi Concert’ and ‘The Four Seasons of Vivaldi and Piazzolla’. On 12 August, at 9pm, audiences will be treated to a unique piano recital by Andrea Vizzini broadcast through wireless headphones, the ideal choice for those in search of an unconventional, emotion-filled experience while, on 23 August, the notes of Venetian Baroque will merge with the rhythms of Argentinian tango during a creative revival of some of the best-loved classics of 18th century music (www.milanocastello.it).

Alternately, an absolute must for lovers of Latin American music is the third edition of the Milano Latin Festival which, this year, is scheduled to run until 15 August.

The festival pays homage to all things Latin American with concerts, dance performances, gastronomic offerings and interesting cultural events all held in the open-air spaces of Milan’s Assago Forum (www.milanolatinfestival.it). In August, temperatures in Milan can soar sky-high!

However, don’t worry, we have the perfect solution for you. The new Bagni Misteriosi,

the spectacular public swimming pool, inaugurated last year in the heart of the city and connected to the Franco Parenti Theatre, is the perfect location to soak up the sun, bathe and cool down. The swimming pool is open Monday through Friday from 12noon to 7pm and on weekends from 10am to 7pm (www.bagnimisteriosicom).

If you’re looking to unwind after a long day’s sightseeing, head to QC Terme Milano, a must-visit SPA, located just steps from Porta Romana, boasting state-of-the-art facilities.

Set within the ruins of Milan’s historic Roman walls, this is a great place to relax and rejuvenate while indulging in a unique pampering experience (www.qcterme.com).

Located on the outskirts of Milan, another excellent alternative for those wishing to escape this season’s unbearable heat is the Idroscalo, a family nature park where you can either spend a few leisurely hours or indulge in sporting activities. The area boasts all types of facilities including swimming pools, a beach, two adventure parks, a butterfly conservatory, water skiing and the hire of boats and pedalòs. But that’s not all!

On 5 and 6 August, the park will be used to host the Italian canoeing championships, an action-packed, spectator favourite (www.idroscalo.info). w w w.wh e re t ravel e r. com 17

At home in style The highly-acclaimed designer Giorgio Armani has opened a new Armani/Casa flagship store on Corso Venezia. Four floors and 16 display windows showcase the brand’s collection.

By Stefania Vida

T

he Armani/Casa brand is synonymous with contemporary lifestyle, elegance and design. Established seventeen years ago but constantly evolving, Armani/ Casa recently opened the doors of its newest locale on Corso Venezia at the corner of via San Damiano, on a stretch of street that was once part of the city’s navigable canal system.

The store, which is the brand’s largest to date, has the airy feel of a design studio; an intimate, sophisticated space that reflects Armani’s minimalist, harmonious aesthetic to perfection.

Sixteen display windows and an additional sixteen windows line the two upper floors of the façade. The light fixtures are accented with a fine platinum-coloured metallic mesh, while decorative motifs in the shop-windows overlooking the street allow passersby glimpses of the furniture displayed inside.

Interesting fact: the ‘Logo Lamp’, created in 1982, can be found in every window, with its image visible through the mesh screens.

This unmistakable symbol of Armani/Casa is a recurring theme throughout the store, and you can even find it carved into the wood panels on the walls of the ground floor.

Organized on four floors, the store serves as a showroom for the entire collection. The latest seasonal collections, including furniture, lamps, upholstered pieces and accessories, are showcased on the ground floor.

The mezzanine is home to accessories, wallpaper and upholstery fabric, and the first floor displays the permanent collection, including limitededition and iconic pieces.

The basement contains products such as kitchen and bathroom accessories, wall and floor coverings, and textiles. >> www.armanicasa.com armanicasa.com Corso Venezia, 14.

Tax Free Refund Guide 1. VAT (in Italian: IVA) is a value added tax on goods and services, and is part of the European Union’s value added tax system.

2. In some cases, travellers may be granted a VAT refund. This refund does not cover the services supplied by hotels, restaurants, taxis or agencies.

3. You may be eligible for a VAT refund provided that: • you are a non EU resident; • the goods purchased are intended for personal or family use only and are carried in your luggage; • the overall value of the goods purchased exceeds 154,94 Euro (VAT included); • the purchase is certified by an invoice. This invoice should include a description of the goods purchased, your personal information as well as the details of your passport or any other equivalent document; • the goods leave EU territory by the end of the third month after the month that you bought them; • several specific customs formalities are complied with; • the invoice is returned to the Italian retailer within four months after the purchase was made.

4. The goods purchased and the relevant invoice must be shown at the customs exit point when leaving EU territory (if you intend to pack the purchased items into your check-in luggage, you must go to Customs BEFORE checking in).

5. After leaving EU territory, the traveller must return the original invoice, regularly endorsed by the customs office, to the Italian retailer. Said invoice must be returned within four months from the date when the document was issued.

6. The refund can be made directly by the Italian retailer (however, make sure that the shop you’ve chosen displays a “Tax Free Shopping” or “Euro Tax Free” sign in its window).

7. Several Tax-Free companies are able to offer immediate VAT cash refunds when the goods leave either Italian or EU territory (thus exonerating the passenger from having to return the invoice to the retailer). However, this procedure only applies at major international airports or main border crossings.

Most major department stores have Tax Free Refund offices.

8. The services provided by Tax-Free companies imply the payment of a small administrative sum which is directly deducted from the amount of VAT refunded to the traveller.

9. In the event of a traveller not receiving a VAT refund within a reasonable period of time, he or she should re-contact the Italian retailer or one of the aforementioned companies.

10. However, please note, VAT cannot be refunded directly by customs offices.

Neuhaus ●

Maybe you’ve just seen Leonardo’s Last Supper and are in need of a relaxing walk to ward off the possible onset of Stendhal’s syndrome. Or, maybe you simply wish to take a stroll through one of Milan’s less touristy areas. In all of these cases, the VercelliBelfiore district, midway between the Conciliazione and Wagner metro stops, is a perfect itinerary: this area, though mainly residential and frequented during the day, is capable of surprising visitors. One of the most characteristic and strategic tram routes in the city, this district is definitely worth a visit, shopping bag in hand. In fact, its carousel of shops has few rivals.

CORSO VERCELLI, SHOPPING BAG IN HAND If you access corso Vercelli starting from piazzale Baracca, at building number 1 you will find a Montblanc boutique, home to high quality beautifully fashioned timepieces and writing instruments.

At number 3, you will find Zadig & Voltaire Voltaire, the French Montblanc

clothing brand that, in 2008, chose to open its first Italian monobrand store right here on corso Vercelli. While in the area, should you decide to pick up a new pair of uberglam sunglasses, at number 5 corso Vercelli, Salmoiraghi e Viganò awaits you. One of the best-known opticians in Italy, it boasts as many as 500 sales points scattered across the country. Just a little further on, at number 7, your new sunglasses are likely to protect you from the glittering window displays of Luigi Verga Orologi, historic, high-class watchmakers offering a diverse selection of luxury brands including Rolex, Audemars Piguet and Pomellato. While on the subject of luxury, from number 11 onwards you will find a real mini-haven of elegance, mainly for men and mainly made-to-measure. The stores located here range from De Molfetta, the go-to shop for expertly handmade shirts and fashion-forward men’s knitwear to Luca Calzature, a reference point since 1968 for artisanal footwear: all the beauty of Italian quality combined with the luxury of personalization and hundreds of models from among which to choose. At number 23 you can also find Brian & Barry (which, in spite of its name, is a 100% Italian brand, currently at the top of its form, as shown by its new, lavish megastore in San Babila) and Boggi Milano, a surefire choice for men’s clothing where

IN DISCOVERY OF VIA BELFIORE'S BOUTIQUES On reaching piazza Wagner, you can make a small diversion in discovery of via Belfiore, even less touristy and, therefore, even more suggestive. And yet, even here, several of the most prestigious brands make an appearance, in quick succession. For a luxe pit-stop, at number 18, you’ll find one of the most iconic Nespresso points in the city. Now that you’re feeling a little more energized, you can return to the heart of Italian craftsmanship: in a singular “duel” two different artisanal shoe shops stand one next to the other, both boasting a storied past and the guarantee of Italian artisanal excellence. It’s up to you to choose between one of the two, either Calzature Belfiore, handcrafted shoes since 1950, or Calzature Cardinale, a small family-run business since 1977. On the contrary, at number 6, you’ll find Mortarotti, a cult destination of Milanese style carrying the creations of the best Italian fashion brands.

BACK IN CORSO VERCELLI AND VIA RASORI By retracing your footsteps, you’ll find yourself back in corso Vercelli, where you can browse the other side. Starting from the other end, you’ll find Coin, the upmarket department store stocking a good collection of most of what you have seen until now. Further on, at number 14, you’ll find yet another classic of Made-in-Italy, i.e. Geox, which doubles up just a little further on down the road at number 8, with its upmarket cousins Fay, Hogan and Tod’s. Always at number 8, there’s also Nadine, an Italian chain of women’s fashion clothing. If children are your target, make a small deviation into the parallel of via Rasori, where, at number 4, you’ll find a delectable boutique, simply spilling over with surprises, SophiePetit. And while you’re here, bear in mind that there’s another gem, whose “toys”, in this case, are more likely to appeal to the ladies: Martino & Mazzolini, at number 8, is an intriguing goldsmith’s workshop that creates bronze jewellery using an ancient technique that has almost disappeared. Finally, walking towards Sant'Ambrogio, don't miss a visit to the famed Belgian chocolate atelier Neuhaus Maître Chocolatier.

DINING AND GOURMET 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! 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, at Savini, located on the first floor

AROUND THE CORNER If after visiting all the boutiques in the Galleria, you still haven’t had your fill of shopping, we recommend several truly unique addresses located just a stone’s throw away. For the ultimate one-stop shopping experience look no further than la Rinascente (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 jewelry and watch brands.

If you’re in search of a special destination for exclusive gifts, head to Amleto Missaglia next to Teatro alla Scala.

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. And don't miss the Brooks Brothers boutiques for men and women in search of a total look exuding casual elegance. Outliving (in via Agnello) offers a storefront packed with items for outdoor living, leisure time, holidays, travel and the home… and, if after all of this you realize that you might have gone over the top with your purchases and thus need an extra suitcase, Rimowa and Pellux (in piazza San Fedele) offer some of the best travel luxury in the industry!

BRERA DISTRICT

Rossoprezioso ●● Culti Milano Angela Caputi Giuggiù ● Alfonso Garlando ● Giòsa Milano ●

● The Merchant of Venice ● Pettinaroli

Brera is synonymous with the artistic heart of the city. As you stroll along the streets of this ancient district, you cannot help but be enchanted by its almost surreal atmosphere boasting small artisans’ workshops or quaint stores selling canvases and paints.

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 historic luxury jewellers Manfredi, Misani's artisanal jewels for him and for her, the original accessories by Angela Caputi Giuggiù and the unique leather accessories by Giòsa Milano in via Ciovasso.

THE NEW PERFUME DISTRICT At no. 4, we find the new The Merchant of Venice boutique, an historic perfumery epitomizing the art of Venetian perfumemaking offering a luxury line encompassing a wide range

50 W H E R E M I L A N I AU M AY G U2017 S T 2017

Illiprandi

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.

Over time, in addition to concentrating on home fragrances, this original innovator of the home diffuser has extended its range to encompass a series of body care products.

The brand also has a boutique at no. 53 corso Venezia (www.culti.com). Other must-visits while in the area include Campomarzio 70 (via Brera 2, www.campomarzio70.it), 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 new 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, http://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, where you can also enjoy a Sunday brunch 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 or, for a different taste, the new Hong Kong Crossover restaurant in via Ciovasso offering the sought-after flavours of the Orient; another option is Ristorante Daniel offering contemporary Italian cuisine and the chance to enjoy something new from day to day.

Aperitivo time at the Forum!

Don’t miss an opportunity to sample Milan’s oldest aperitivo at the Roman Forum: the Apiciano aperitivo.

A unique experience in the heart of the city. By Stefania Vida

A

s is known, the Milanese ritual par excellence is the aperitivo. As the clock strikes 6pm, the Milanese get ready to leave the office and head to a bar to prep themselves for the evening ahead. In Milan, there’s no shortage of venues or areas (each having different characteristics) where you can relax and indulge in few hours’ gossip in the company of friends while sipping a classic Spritz or a glass of wine: the romantic Navigli, trendy Corso Como with piazza Gae Aulenti and the highly popular Arco della Pace.

However, not everyone knows that there’s a new, or rather, historic hotspot, at the Roman Forum!

That’s right, Milan even has its own Forum, the old city square where, for centuries, people traded goods, administered justice and indulged in religious activities. It was here that the Cardo crossed the Decumanus which, in 58 W H E R E M I L A N I AU M AY G U2017 S T 2017

those days, was located just a short distance from the Crypt of San Sepolcro. Not only did the marble slabs used to build its floor come from the Forum but the crypt itself is located beneath the spectacular room of one of Milan’s oldest museums, the Pinacoteca Ambrosiana!

Every Thursday and Friday from 6pm to 8pm, when visiting the Roman Forum, you can access a real ‘taberna’ and sample wine and food inspired by the traditions of ancient Rome and the recipes of Apicius, one of ancient Rome’s most famous gastronomes.

Its specialties are served on hand-decorated platters by a costumed innkeeper. Not just a simple aperitivo but an experience that will allow you to rediscover one of Milan’s landmark attractions as well as several interesting facts about the food that was prepared in past centuries. By reservation only (foro@milantourismpoint.com).

MUSEUMS & ATTRACTIONS

Dress rehearsals for ‘La Grande Brera‘ Considered the ‘Louvre of Italy’ by Napoleon, this spectacular museum is located in the centre (and heart) of the city’s ‘Quadrilatero della Cultura’. By Elena Peverata

P

utting the Brera Museum back into the hearts of the Milanese and the city; James Bradburne, the director of the Pinacoteca di Brera and the Biblioteca Braidense, is working tirelessly on the re-launch of one of Italy’s most important treasure troves.

This project includes the ‘Grande Brera’ project that aims to promote the entire complex by creating a support network with other museums in the city, which, in the socalled ‘Quadrilatero della Cultura’, boasts the highest number of museums in any European city.

The Pinacoteca, which opened to the public in 1809 at the request of Napoleone Bonaparte, hosts a spectacular collection of masterpieces

by Mantegna, Bellini, Veronese, Tintoretto,

Crivelli, Piero della Francesca, Bramante, Raphael and Caravaggio.

For the past year, the layout of the Pinacoteca museum has been in the process of being redesigned. This renovation is happening in stages and is scheduled to be completed by 2018. Each of these stages has been accompanied by an exhibition; a ‘Dialogue’ between a selection of in-house masterpieces and related works on loan.

After Raphael and Perugino, Mantegna, Caravaggio and Lorenzo Lotto, the Pinacoteca’s new dialogue will focus on an altarpiece depicting the ‘Virgin and Child with St. Joseph, St. Zachary, St. Elisabeth and the Young St. John the Baptist’ by one of the era’s most important artists, Pompeo Batoni.

The new 'Dialogue' explores the 18th century, the era that witnessed the birth of the museum

60 W H E R E M I L A N I AU M AY G U2017 S T 2017

The altarpiece will be juxtaposed with another work by the same painter titled ‘The Blessed Bernardo Tolomei Helping Plague Victims’ from the Church of San Vittore al Corpo in Milan. The exhibition will also showcase a preparatory work of this painting as well as two drawings by Batoni on loan from the Academy of Fine Arts in Brera. >> Address and opening hours Pinacoteca di Brera.

OUT OF TOWN

Canal Grande, Venice

Visiting Italian beauties Two destinations to enjoy a day of fun and relaxation with the whole family! From Venice, one of the world’s most romantic cities, to an alluring spot located on Liguria’s Riviera di Ponente. By Stefania Vida THE MARVELS OF VENICE Located 275km from Milan, the major attractions of Venice, such as the awe-inspiring Basilica of St. Mark, the Bell Tower and Palazzo Ducale, are all situated just nearby St. Mark’s Square.

Well worth a visit are the historic Teatro della Fenice and the legendary Bridge of Sighs, which, together with the Ponte di Rialto, is one of Venice’s most distinctive bridges. In terms of uniqueness, Venice tops every other city with its canals, which can be navigated aboard one of the city’s famous gondolas, and the Canal Grande, known as “the most beautiful street in the world” (see photo). Lined on both sides with an uninterrupted series of palaces, churches, hotels and public buildings, the Canal offers a journey back in history. Don’t miss Murano, Torcello and Burano, three charming, small islands rich in history and tradition. www.where-venice.com 64 W H E R E M I L A N I AU G U S T 2017

LIGURIA, A BLEND OF TASTE AND RELAXATION If you’re looking for a place to relax and enjoy unspoiled nature and the fabulous, traditional food and wine of Liguria, then Cala Loca (in the province of Varazze, 169km from Milan) is the place for you. Nestling within a natural bay on Liguria’s Riviera del Ponente, Cala Loca is located in the Beigua Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the largest Geo-nature park in Liguria. With its typical pebbly beaches and sparkling azure sea, Cala Loca offers visitors a uniquely relaxing experience. The area is also renowned for its enogastronomic delights, a tantalizing blend of traditional flavours upgraded with a creative, contemporary twist.

A unique opportunity to discover the secrets of Ligurian cuisine. www.calaloca.it

A few steps from Milan...

Milan is a mixture of art, culture, shopping and lifestyle and its outlying areas are equally attractive.

Discover our pick of these fabulous destinations for an unmissable outof-town trip. By Simona P.K. Daviddi Our tour begins on the outskirts of Milan at the 17th-century Villa Arconati 1 (www.villaarconati.it). Known also as ‘the small Versailles of Lombardy’, it is set within the vast green spaces of the Groane Park in Bollate. This is a splendid example of Lombardy Baroque architecture, and visitors are welcomed in its frescoed rooms, while summer evenings are jazzed up with a series of concerts and events in its magnificent gardens. We recommend a visit to the Villa Visconti Borromeo Litta 2 (www.villalittalainate.it) which is just a short distance away in Lainate. This neo-classical jewel of architecture is surrounded by a lovely park that earned the title of the ‘Most Beautiful Historical Park in Italy’ in 2016. The Villa is renowned for its Nyphaeum and spectacular water features. A mixture of sacred and profane – the Metropolitan City area is interspersed with numerous abbeys.

In fact, there are so many that there is even a Road of Abbeys (www.stradadelleabbazie. it). Our route starts from the Abbey of Chiaravalle 3 , dominated by an imposing, richly frescoed 14th-century bell tower, and continues onwards to the Abbey of Viboldone 4 , one the most beautiful medieval complexes in Lombardy, until we reach Mirasole 5 , a 13th-century monastery which, with its numerous moats, resembles a fortress. After travelling for a few more kilometers, in a southwesterly direction, we come to the Abbey of Morimondo 6 , a former Cistercian monastery renovated in Gothic style.

Museo Alfa Romeo

EN PLEIN AIR The area housing the abbeys is also the heart of the large Parco Agricolo Sud Milano (www.parcoagricolosudmilano. it). The Park boasts a rich historic and agricultural heritage and comprises old farmsteads, waterways and important residential complexes, including Gaggiano 7 , which, with its small, pastel-coloured houses nestling on both banks of the Naviglio Grande, is well worth a visit.

This charming hamlet can be accessed from the city via a scenic bicycle track skirting the canal. The Martesana Canal also offers views of rare beauty as it flows towards the Adda river.

Rural centres are interspersed with expanses of greenery (an absolute must is a visit to the Adda Park which can also be crossed by bike or on horseback) and charming urban centres, including Crespi d’Adda 8 , a late 19th-century workers’ village built up around a textiles factory and a UNESCO world heritage site (www.villaggiocrespi.it). However, Milan is not only renowned for its canals. Lying on the outskirts of the city, just behind the airport of Linate, we find the Idroscalo 9 , a large artificial lake set within green surroundings (www.idroscalo. info). The area offers all types of facilities including jogging, horseback riding and bicycle paths, boat, canoe and pedalò hire, recreational fishing and even rugby pitches.

A DAY DEVOTED TO CULTURE If the weather’s gloomy, don’t despair! This is a great opportunity to visit a museum! Perhaps a historic one like the Alfa Romeo Museum 10 (www. museoalfaromeo.com) in Arese, formerly home to the prestigious factory. This museum has six floors of models that have made motoring history, as well as prototypes and memorabilia.

Another must-visit option is the Galleria Campari 11 (www.campari.com) in Sesto San Giovanni, a trip to discover the merchandise and cocktails that have made the brand famous. For lovers of design, the Kartellmuseo 12 (www.kartell. com) in Noviglio is a must see. Located in one of

Lombardy’s most notable examples of industrial architecture, it showcases more than 8,000 objets d’art and 5,000 drawings associated with the famous brand.

Another noteworthy museum is Mumac 13 (www.mumac.it) in Binasco: a sleek, redlacquered building, it houses a spectacular display of coffee-making machines.

WHAT’S NEW As with every ‘city on the move’, Milan is constantly enriched with new attractions.

Three in particular deserve a special mention.

The first is Scalo Milano City Style 14 (www.scalomilano.it) in Locate Triulzi.

This new metropolitan district for fashionistas, where design, fashion and food are represented by international super stars and iconic brands, offers a 360-degree shopping experience. The second innovation is found in the area that hosted Expo in 2015 and which has now become Experience Milano 15 (www.experiencemilano. it), a four thousand square metre park (open from May to November) where visitors can attend performances, concerts and sporting events.

Other highlights include the fabulous Tree of Life show and the exhibitions staged in the futuristic Palazzo Italia. The third innovation is Milan’s latest attraction dedicated to skydiving. Aero-Gravity 16 , the largest freefall simulator in the world, has just opened in Pero. This is a sophisticated contraption, designed to overcome the force of gravity and support flight, offering visitors the thrill of experiencing what it feels like to jump from an airplane at an altitude of 4,500 metres.
