BLOCKBUSTER EXHIBITIONS AT PALAZZO REALE

The fabulous exhibition-event dedicated to Caravaggio ends today at Palazzo Reale.

JANUARY A unique opportunity to see twenty of the master’s key masterpieces gathered together for the first time and displayed alongside diagnostic analyses performed on the works to reveal the artist’s creative process. Thanks to the use of innovative multi-media equipment, visitors will have a chance to explore what lies beneath the surface of the painting and gain insight into the changes that the artist made between draft and final work.

THE MAGIC OF LA SCALA

The 2017-2018 Ballet Season at the La Scala Opera House opened in the middle of December with John Neumeier’s production of ‘La Dame aux camélias’ based on the work of novelist Alexandre Dumas (fils) with music by Frederic Chopin.

The production, brought to life by Neumeier’s intense and refined choreographic language, is one of the most important new narrative ballets of the last fifty years.

20 reasons to visit Milan in winter Insider tips to enjoy the city when temperatures plummet!

BY ELENA BINDA

12 W H E R E M I L A N I J A N UA R Y 2018

ave you been told that Italy is the ‘Country of sun’ only to find that it’s damp and freezing? Cheer up, things are better than they look! Although Milan is not blessed with the temperate climate of Sicily, it makes up for its cold temperatures with an unrivalled offer of things to do, see and enjoy.

Thanks to its plethora of cultural activities, superb food and wine, and fabulous shopping, you’ll find plenty of things to keep you

entertained. There’s so much to see and do that you’ll be making excuses to return in April, just to see the difference. Here’s your guide to experiencing the marvels of winter like a local.

1. Indulge in a special breakfast. A great way to kick-start your day! If you’re staying at the Milano Scala, don’t miss the hotel’s buffet accompanied by the soothing sounds of live classical music (8am-10am, www.hotelmilanoscala.it). Otherwise follow the enticing aroma of coffee emanating from one

of the city’s innumerable bars. Located just steps from the Duomo, historic Italian coffee house Lavazza has opened its flagship store in piazza San Fedele, a space where coffee lovers can sample an authentic espresso.

2. Cover up! If you’re ill-equipped to face the rigours of winter, don’t panic! This is Milan, where you can ward off the cold with a touch of high-octane glamour. The latest, coolest address is Woolrich, which opened its 700 square metre flagship in San Babila in November (www.woolrich.eu, see page 18).

Its main attraction is the ‘Extreme Weather Experience Room’, a space featuring insulated walls where customers can experience firsthand the comfort and protection offered by Woolrich parkas at below zero temperatures.

Another option is the multi-level store of the Italian luxury brand, Moncler. Recently renovated, the store covers a surface of 550 square metres in via Montenapoleone (www.moncler.com), making it the largest Moncler outpost in the world. And, if you’re convinced that ‘sporty is the new chic’, head

to the K-Way flagship store located just steps from the Galleria. Cucinelli or Falconeri’s luxurious cashmere creations are the ideal must-haves to wear under your jacket. These items can be purchased at Rinascente, and at the brands’ boutiques in the centre (www.brunellocucinelli.com; www.falconeri.com).

3. (Continue) shopping. Now that you’re warmly wrapped up, you can continue to browse the streets of the centre, the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele and the ‘Quadrilatero della moda’ without worrying that you’ll freeze to death. January is sale time in Milan, so you might be lucky enough to bag a bargain.

from the snow and the rain, remember that Rinascente, one of the world’s most luxurious department stores, offers seven floors of upscale shopping, showcasing all of the world’s most coveted fashion and design brands under one roof.

4. Hop on sightseeing bus and tour the city: if it’s biting cold, you can sit inside and shelter from the cold, while enjoying a panoramic tour of the city. Make sure to choose the route that appeals to you most from the itineraries offered (www.city-sightseeing.it or www.milanopentour.com).

5. Go to an exhibition. The offer is boundless! This month is your last chance

Palazzo Reale

to see Caravaggio or Toulouse-Lautrec (www.palazzorealemilano.it); Salgado’s photos (www.formafoto.it), the Egypt of Pharaoh Amenhotep II (www.mudec.it),Titian’s altarpiece on show at Palazzo Marino until 14 January, and the exhibition dedicated to Bill Viola in the crypt of San Sepolchro or Perugino’s Adoration of the Magi on loan at the Museo Diocesano (www.chiostrisanteustorgio.it).

6. Visit a house museum. Poldi Pezzoli, Bagatti Valsecchi, Boschi Di Stefano and Necchi Campiglio. The network (www.casemuseo.it) includes four houses embodying almost two centuries of history. The houses, decorated with original period furnishings and art

collections, were bequeathed to the city by their owners. In addition to their enormous architectural value, these buildings offer visitors insight into the personal lives and stories of their owners, serving as a reflection of the transformations that took place in Milanese society during the 19th and early 20th centuries.

7. Take time to explore the interiors of a church. With their stunning facades, ranging from the Romanesque to the Baroque eras, the city boasts a wealth of Christian churches.

Enter any one at your leisure but be prepared for some surprises. The Duomo, but also Sant’Ambrogio, San Satiro, Santa Maria delle Grazie, Sant’Eustorgio or San Maurizio are not only magnificent repositories of art but also living testimonies to the city’s historic past.

8. Eat! Since the cold weather is likely to help you burn more calories, now is the perfect time to indulge in a hearty lunch. Opt for a Tyrol-style setting at the ‘Rifugio’ in via Lomazzo (www.ristorante-rifugio.com) or head to a place that reminds you of a ski-lodge in Valtellina.

We warmly recommend ‘I Valtellina’ near the Linate airport (www.ivaltellina.it), or ‘Sciatt à porter’ near Corso Como (www.sciattaporter.it).

Alternately, enjoy a heady mixture of authentic Italian food and design at the brand new Garage Italia (www.garageitaliacustoms.it).

If you love street food, remember that Nyx, Milan’s latest design hotel, offers a great indoor version (www.nyx-hotels.it).

9. Indulge in a food shopping experience.

Although you’ll be hard put to taste all the flavours of Italy at just one sitting, you can make a start by exploring the huge selection

of delicacies showcased at Eataly Smeraldo, in piazza XXV Aprile. Otherwise, if you haven’t yet left Rinascente, remember that you’ll find an entire floor here dedicated to gourmet specialties.

10. Go skating. Rather than hibernating, get out and make the most of the city’s wintertime activities! Besides, skating on ice is not only fun and good exercise, but a great way to discover some of the city’s picturesque, hidden gems.

Temporary ice rinks can be found in piazza Gae Aulenti, in the Montanelli Gardens, in piazza Beccaria or against the scenic backdrop of the Bagni Misteriosi (www.bagnimisteriosi.com).

11. Take refuge at a Spa. If skating isn’t your thing, treat yourself to a sauna in a beautiful setting. Milan boasts a fabulous choice of must-visit places. Our pick of the bunch include the Grand Spa with natural light at Palazzo Parigi (www.palazzoparigi.com), the Spa at the Four Seasons designed by Patricia Urquiola (www.fourseasons.com/it/milan/spa), the Shiseido Spa at the Hotel Gallia (www.shiseidospamilan.com), the Spa at the Bulgari hotel featuring a pool inlaid with pure gold tiles, the Gentleman’s retreat at the Mandarin Oriental (www.mandarinoriental.it) or the sumptuous Club 10 Spa on the top floor of the hotel Principe di Savoia (www.dorchestercollection.com).

12. Play golf. If you’re looking for an indoor experience, the Shiseido Spa offers one of the most spectacular virtual golf facilities in Europe (guests staying at the Excelsior Hotel Gallia get in for free). If, on the other hand, you’re determined to brave the cold weather just to hit that ball, ‘the’ go-to place for the Milanese is

If you’ve braved the cold and are now looking for somewhere special to take a break, remember that numerous cultural venues offer eateries or bookstores, or both that can be accessed without a ticket. The Caffè Letterario - a great place to enjoy a cup of coffee, a light meal or a postprandial drink - is located in the 15th century cloisters of Palazzo Carmagnola alongside Abook, a goldmine for publications associated with the theatre.

For lovers of the genre, the Triennale Design Cafè is a cult address which also encompasses the Triennale Store, a bookstore featuring a rich selection of books dedicated to architecture, design and modern and contemporary art. Alternately, the Mudec Museum of Cultures in via Tortona offers an array of high-quality services. Highlights include a bistro, a starred restaurant and design store flanked by pop-up bookshops selling literature associated with the exhibitions.

In Gae Aulenti, Feltrinelli Red offers books and refreshments with a view over one of Milan’s newest and most beautiful squares, while a selection of ingenious, fun objects await you at the Museo della Scienza’s Must Shop.

However, the city’s latest, go-to address is the new Bottega Brera bookshop at the Pinacoteca di Brera, where the revolution undertaken by its director James Bradburne continues to make waves. Items on sale include postcards, guidebooks and books, but also unique objet d’arts like the limited edition dish designed specifically for the Pinacoteca

by Fornasetti, a former student of the Brera Academy. Other projects in the pipeline include a cafè scheduled to open at the end of spring 2018.

Since the facility is located inside a race course, at times, an alarm bell, signaling the arrival of horses, invites golfers to suspend play: so, be warned and try not to embarrass yourself!

13. Watch a movie. The recently opened Anteo Palazzo del Cinema offers original language films and lots more: www.spaziocinema.info. Now also at CityLife Shopping District (see page 20).

14. Fly! A ‘post-Expo’ attraction, Aero Gravity Indoor Skydiving is the largest vertical tunnel in the world designed to simulate a free fall from 4,500 metres. Adrenaline, sport and safety, even for children. Booking required. www.aerogravity.it 15... Eat again! You’re in Italy! Where better to indulge your palate than the ‘Bel Paese’?

If it’s teatime, treat yourself to a hot chocolate or a sweet treat at a traditional pasticceria. Although you’ll be spoilt for choice, our pick of the city’s best and most historic places include Cova (www.covamilano.com), Marchesi 1824 (www.pasticceriamarchesi.com) and obviously Peck (which is not just a pasticceria but also a cult gastronomic destination, www.peck.it).

16. Take a lesson. Numerous chefs and institutions offer cookery classes, often directly in your hotel: ask your concierge for more information!

17. Attend a performance at La Scala: since performances are not held daily, it’s advisable to get detailed information (www.teatroallascala.org). And, if possible, don’t miss the thrill of attending an opera or a ballet at this temple of music!

18. Attend a performance… but not at La Scala. There’s no lack of high-quality performances: check out the programmes at the Arcimboldi (www.teatroarcimboldi.it) and the Piccolo Teatro (www.piccoloteatro.org), as well as those featured at less well-known places like the Palazzina Liberty in Largo Marinai d’Italia (www.palazzinalibertyinmusica.it). There are also lots of others, so be on the look out!

19. Watch a basketball match: Olimpia Milano, the city’s home team boasts a longstanding tradition and is owned by none other than Giorgio Armani… another reason to root for the team! Check out the calendar at www.olimpiamilano.com.

20. Climb to the rooftop terraces of the Duomo. Don’t underestimate this experience. If it’s cold but clear, you’ll have a bird’s eye view of the city. The place is both spiritual and romantic. Try it, and you’ll bring home an unforgettable picture postcard image of Milan.

Or… go skiing!

Countless chic, panoramic ski resorts are easily accessible from Milan. Among these, a hot favourite with the Milanese is Courmayeur, affectionately known as ‘Courma’. Located right in the heart of the Mont Blanc massif, the highest mountain range in western Europe, it offers a fabulous array of top-level outdoor activities (not surprisingly, its highly apt motto is ‘enjoy Italy at its peak’). Highlights include spectacular mountain landscapes outfitted with 410 km of runs, 4 cable cars, 2 gondolas, 8 chair lifts, 3 ski lifts, 1 moving walkway, a wide choice of restaurants, pizzerias and bars, equipment hire, personalized assistance services, and a dedicated beginner area with moving belts and play areas for children.

Additionally, Courmayeur boasts an action-packed events calendar. For example from 20 to 22 January, visitors can indulge in an all-out shopping spree at the ‘Black Saturday powered by American Express’ event (which is repeated in March). Alternately, from 26-28 January, the town will host ‘Taste of Courmayeur’, featuring a fabulous line-up of famous international chefs. In addition to being an ideal location to celebrate Carnival and Valentine’s Day, Courmayeur also offers a rich programme of festive events.

CityLife Shopping District There’s not just one new opening, but a hundred, including several ‘outright firsts’ for Milan and Italy.

This latest, must-visit destination is located at CityLife (Tre Torri stop of the M5 Line of the Milan subway) amidst designer skyscrapers and futuristic, eco-sustainable projects.

The largest urban shopping centre in Italy opened on 30 November 2017: obviously it’s in Milan; obviously it’s ultra-glam and, obviously its strengths are in design, fashion and food, but there are also cosmetics, wellness, technology, entertainment and services. And naturally, if you’re familiar with the layout of the new Milan, the complex is housed in the CityLife district, one of the most important urban redevelopment projects in Europe, which includes three skyscrapers designed by world-renowned archistars Arata Isozaki, Zaha Hadid and Daniel Libeskind. The first two towers, now fully completed, are among the city’s most sought-after luxury residential addresses. The project also boasts a vast green space (still under construction) and, as mentioned above, the stunning CityLife Shopping District.

MANY “ABSOLUTE FIRSTS” Boasting100 commercial units including shops, restaurants and a multiplex cinema, a supermarket, medical centres, pharmacies, newsstands and drycleaners, all open yearround, the 32,000 sq.m. complex is set to become ‘the’ go-to destination for Milanese shoppers and tourists. In addition to the above, other major attractions include several leading retailers who have chosen CityLife to debut their brands in the Italian market. These include household furniture retailers Habitat and Democracy Design, the first European flagship store of Huawei and the world’s leading telephone operator R-Store Apple Premium Reseller, the first Nashi Argan Salon in the world, dedicated to skin and hair

care, the first Juneco beauty clinic and the first DM Drogerie Markt. Other brands launching in Italy for the first time are Sophie 4 Kids and Chantelle Lingerie, plus an additional 40 fashion brands, and four new eateries, including Calavera, East River Brooklyn Brewery, Roadhouse Meatery and Sweet, which will complete the centre’s extensive, cosmopolitan enogastronomic offer.

ENTERTAINMENT FACILITIES To celebrate its launch, the new CityLife Shopping District wooed Milan with light shows, concerts and DJ sets and, following the euphoria of its debut, the centre aims to become an entertainment hub. Bearing this in mind, international retail real estate company Sonae Sierra, which carefully selected the brands at the centre, strongly advocated a CityLife Anteo, a spin-off of the Anteo Palazzo Cinema which has already been a big hit with both locals and tourists since it now offers top-level films in original language versions.

A HABITAT FOR DESIGN The CityLife Shopping District has provided interiors brand Habitat with the perfect backdrop for its new showroom. The AngloFrench brand has arrived in the city of the ‘Salone del Mobile’ at last and has a threelevel space housed in a building designed by architect Mauro Galantino. A pioneer of highquality, fun design that is unconventional and forward-thinking, Habitat’s Milan-based showroom offers all the great classics featured in its catalogue.

APPLE ASSISTANCE CENTRE (AND MORE) The best purchasing experience possible, personalized solutions and an impeccable sales service. Based on these objectives, which are a part of its DNA, the new R-Store Apple Premium Reseller, one of the crown jewels in the field of technology, has taken up residence at CityLife. Private users, as well as companies, schools and offices are the target of this sales outlet, which also doubles as an authorized Apple assistance centre.

R-Store Apple Premium Reseller is the ideal place for the repair of any Apple product regardless of where it was purchased with the added plus of a high-quality guarantee.

WHAT ELSE? CityLife would not have been complete without Nespresso! The renowned company behind the multi-coloured coffee capsules has also joined the other luxury brands found here with an even more sustainable concept and a totally revamped layout.

The entire project is based on the ideals of sustainability and Nespresso has responded by guaranteeing a 360 degree commitment to boosting environmental sustainability and improving the welfare of coffee farmers worldwide, from the materials used (including using recycled coffee grounds to make tables) to technological choices designed to reduce energy consumption.

But it’s also all about enjoying the coffee ritual, enhanced by the delectable flavour of authentic Italian blends.

Shops, restaurants, bars, a cinema and several service facilities; the offer at the CityLife Shopping District is vast and versatile. Here above, the Apple sales and assistance centre R-Store; left, CityLife Anteo; below, the new, even more sustainable Nespresso store.

Antonini, art for art’s sake Magnificent 15th century frescoes act as a striking backdrop to Antonini’s highly exclusive jewelry.

Where? At the brand’s showroom in Palazzo Borromeo, in the heart of the city. By Simona P.K. Daviddi

C

rystal showcases supported by wrought iron pedestals displaying dazzling, unique designer jewelry, and walls covered with frescoes by Michelino da Besozzo – an important 15th-century Lombard artist – greet customers visiting Antonini’s showroom. The renowned jeweler’s elegant showroom is located in Milan’s prestigious Palazzo Borromeo, overlooking the eponymous square. Two art forms – that of the goldsmith and frescoing – blend harmoniously in an evocative environment further highlighting the inestimable value of Antonini’s creations.

All these creations are handmade in Milan, where this brand of haute joaillerie was founded in 1919. Entire collections, unique pieces featuring an innovative design and numbered, certified haute couture jewelry – designed ad hoc, beginning with the stone chosen for the setting. The brand’s creative director Sergio Antonini gives life to surprising creations that 26 W H E R E M I L A N I J A N UA R Y 2018

have garnered him international recognition.

These include his Anniversary necklace, chosen for the Brilliant exhibition at the 21st International Triennale, or the Siracusa collection, which won the Andrea Palladio International Jewellery Awards for ‘The Best Italian Jewellery Brand Collection’. His jewelry is a hot favourite with showbiz celebrities, including Selena Gomez, Halle Berry, Anne Hathaway, Jennifer Lopez, Gigi Hadid and Taylor Swift. These stars have graced the red carpet wearing his jewelry.

The showroom, which now allows the public access to the previously inaccessible Sala degli Affreschi, opened in November 2017, marking the high point in a year dedicated to restyling the brand with a coordinated image and the launch of a new advertising campaign. >> www.antonini.it.

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 the Entertainment section, because they are considered as meeting places.

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.

Set meals: prices are per person and usually refer to a 3-course meal (beverages excluded). € = 30 € or less / €€ = 31-50€ / €€€ = 51-100€ / €€€€ = 101-150€ / €€€€€ = 150€ and above.

DISTRICTS

This stunning feat of architecture is lined with some of the world’s most famous fashion and designer stores (including Prada, Gucci, Louis Vuitton and Versace), landmark restaurants and cafés.

Other innovative additions include a hotel and the ‘Highline Galleria’, a new highline walkway giving access to the Galleria’s rooftops. Map F4

Duomo One of Milan’s most well-trodden shopping routes starts at the Piazza del Duomo with the renowned department store Rinascente, offering wide range of fashion items under one roof, and continues onto Corso Vittorio Emanuele II, the pedestrian street lined with the most popular brand-name stores. Map F4

Quadrilatero della Moda An exclusive destination for luxury shopping, the Quadrilatero is situated just a short distance on foot from the Duomo. This quaintly cobbled quadrangle of streets is bounded by via Montenapoleone, via della Spiga, via Gesù, via Borgospesso, via Santo Spirito, via Sant’Andrea and via Manzoni. The Quadrilatero is a reference point for the most prestigious Italian and international fashion stores, where all the big designer names and most luxurious stores in the world converge. Map F4

One of the city’s most picturesque areas, its streets are lined with studios, stores selling canvases and paints, antique shops, art galleries and window displays showcasing fashion items, accessories, jewelry and design objects. Today it is a hub of ‘haute parfumerie’, populated with big-name brand boutiques and artisanal manufacturers who create customized fragrances. Map F3-F4

Its focal point is piazza Gae Aulenti a masterpiece of contemporary architecture and design. Stretching from piazza XXV Aprile and Corso Como to the Isola district, it offers an array of shops, locales and new openings. Map F2

Cordusio Young, more affordable brands can be found in via Torino (Map F5), one of Milan’s oldest streets which connects the Duomo to corso di Porta Ticinese and the Navigli (canals). Formerly home to the workshops of goldsmiths and artisans, it is now lined with numerous shop windows showcasing young, trendy clothing. The “5vie Art+Design” district, home to historic artisanal workshops, arty concept ateliers, showrooms and art galleries is within close proximity. Via Dante (Map E4), a pedestrian street lined with shops and bars where you can sample an aperitivo or eat lunch while sitting outside, runs between piazza Duomo and the Castello Sforzesco.

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.

BRERA DISTRICT

● 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 Angela Caputi Giuggiù 48 W H E R E M I L A N I J A N UA R Y 2018

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 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 of exclusive perfumes for men and women contained in elegant

Fragonard

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 Parmabased 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.

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 Ristorante Savini, one of Milan’s most iconic landmark restaurants, or the Marchesi alla Scala restaurant lying

adjacent to Teatro alla Scala, presided over by Gualtiero Marchesi, one of Italy’s most revered chefs. For the more ‘fashion oriented’, a top-notch address is Il Ristorante Trussardi alla Scala located just moments away. And then again, if your idea of bliss is an unrivalled view over piazza Duomo a sure-fire choice is Giacomo Arengario, the restaurant of the Museo del Novecento.

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 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 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.

And don't miss the new Stefano Ricci Italian luxury boutique for men in search of a total look exuding 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 Versace luxury in the industry!

Light and space according to Fontana Since its opening three months ago, Ambienti/Environments has been a big hit with contemporary art aficionados and newbies alike. By Elena Peverata

A

lthough Lucio Fontana is considered to be one of the most influential Italian artists of the mid-twentieth century, his experimental works entitled Spatial Environments are not very well-known.

By bringing together elements of painting, sculpture, and architecture, Fontana challenges the idea that art is something static and gives viewers the opportunity to explore the space.

‘Ambienti/Environments’ showcase nine ‘Spatial Environments’ and two ‘Environmental Interventions’ created between 1949 and 1968.

This is the first time that these pieces have been ever displayed together. The installations are characterized by the constants of Fontana’s unconventional use of elements: an altered perception of space, monochrome colours, neon or Wood light (black light), corridors and labyrinthine spaces. The exhibition is housed at Fondazione Pirelli HangarBicocca, a former 60 W H E R E M I L A N I J A N UA R Y 2018

industrial complex for the construction of locomotives. Its 15,000 square metres encompass three exhibition spaces, the ‘Shed’, the ‘Navate’ and the ‘Cubo’, which are mainly used to host temporary exhibitions.

Until 14 January, visitors will also have a chance to visit ‘Take Me (I'm Yours)’, an unusual collective exhibition offering the public a rare opportunity to touch, use, test, take away or modify the objects exhibited. In addition to temporary shows, the Navate exhibition space also houses a permanent installation by Anselm Kiefer titled ‘The Seven Heavenly Palaces 2004-2015’(right), whose imposing concrete-and-lead towers have become true icons of contemporary art in Milan. >> Lucio Fontana.

The Shoah Memorial of Milan is located in an area under the railway tracks of the Central Station, where mail was loaded and offloaded. This was the place where, between 1943 and 1945, sheltered from preying eyes, thousands of Jews and political deportees were loaded onto freight cars, via an elevator platform that was used to lift such cars up to the main platform. These transports were then connected to convoys leaving for Auschwitz-Birkenau and other German camps, or Italian camps such as Fossoli and Bolzano. Among all the places used as deportation sites in Europe, the Memorial is the only one that has remained intact.

Today it is a commemorative place that honours the victims of the mass extermination, and also represents a ‘living, educational memorial’ where people can actively experience the

tragedy of the Shoah. More than 100,000 visitors, including 60,000 students, have had a chance to experience and gain insight into this place of enormous existential and emotional significance.

OUT OF TOWN

Canal Grande, Venice

Visiting Italian beauties Three destinations to enjoy a day of fun and relaxation with the whole family! From Monza with its magnificent treasures and shopping streets to the lakes of Lombardy and Venice, one of the world’s most romantic cities.

MONZA The beauty of its 14th century Torre dell’Arengario, its glam shopping streets and its Gothic-style Duomo, featuring marvellous frescoes depicting the life of Queen Theodelinda, make the centre of Monza (20 km from Milan) well worth a visit. However, Monza’s real jewel in the crown is its famous Villa Reale, a magnificent 18th century dwelling designed by Francesco Piermarini, the architect who also designed the La Scala Opera House in Milan. Don't miss Italy’s annual Formula 1 Grand Prix held in September at the racetrack lying behind its park. www.villarealedimonza.it LAKES OF LOMBARDY Each year the lakes of Lombardy attract millions of visitors thanks to their mild climate, breathtaking scenery, natural beauties and 64 W H E R E M I L A N I J A N UA R Y 2018

historic and artistic treasures. The shores of Lake Maggiore (90 km from Milan) wash up on the banks of Piedmont and Lombardy, while its northern basin lies in the mountainous region of Switzerland. The most famous island is Isola Bella, anchored like a fantastic ship-garden and dominated by the majestic Palazzo Borromeo (www.isoleborromee.it). Lake Como must-visits include the Gothic Duomo, the Romanesque basilicas of San Fedele and Sant’Abbondio, the neoclassical Villa Olmo and, in Cernobbio, the deluxe Villa d’Este and Villa Erba (75 km from Milan). Don’t miss the “Lake Como Day Trip from Milan” (Mon-WedSat) by Zani Viaggi: www.livemilano.com.

VENICE The major attractions of Venice (275 km from Milan), such as the awe-inspiring Basilica of

St. Mark, the Bell Tower and Palazzo Ducale, are all situated just nearby St. Mark’s Square.

Just a few steps from the square, well worth a visit are the historic Teatro della Fenice and, burdened with legend, the Bridge of Sighs, one of Venice’s most characteristic bridges together with the Ponte Rialto. In terms of uniqueness, Venice tops all other cities with its canals – which can be navigated Venice aboard one of the city’s famous CIT Y gondolas – and Murano, Torcello and Burano, three charming, WELCO ME small islands rich in history and tradition.

Welcome to Milano InfoMilano, the tourist information and hospitality point originally conceived for Expo 2015, wiil welcome you in Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II.

I

nfoMilano is the city’s first visiting card and the place from which everyone can get friendly, helpful, multilingual advice about everything that Milan has to offer.

A modern facility designed to welcome and accompany tourists from their arrival in the city and for the entire duration of their stay, offering a vast range of services: from cultural activities to hotel accommodation right up to the various options available to discover the city and its attractions, including museums, restaurants, historic workshops and the most exclusive shopping. The choice of setting up InfoMilano inside the Urban Center stemmed from a need to provide tourists with a highly central, visible and attractive place positioned in one of the city’s best-known destinations, namely the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, a connecting point between piazza del Duomo and Teatro alla Scala.

Boasting 400 square metres spread out over three 66 W H E R E M I L A N I J A N UA R Y 2018

floors (170 of which comprise the ground floor), the Urban Center was designed to accommodate a visitor influx estimated at around 90,000 people per day in anticipation of the Universal Exposition held in 2015.

The establishment of the InfoMilano space serves as an addition to the regular activities of the Urban Center which will continue to host debates, presentations and meetings open to the public.

The spaces, its flooring, partitions and audio/ video systems have been upgraded to guarantee improved efficiency and a more rational use of the space available, thus guaranteeing the complete autonomy of the two facilities. >> InfoMilano - Tourist Information Office/ Informazioni e Accoglienza Turistica Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II corner of piazza della Scala.
