Mercato del Pesce: If you say seafood, you say Mercato del Pesce. This Milan based company has one of the oldest seafood markets in the Milan right at the spot where the old wholesale fish market was. The location is quite industrial, right underneath the train rails. But inside you find the restaurant in a blue glass cube resembling an aquarium. I can honestly say this one of the best seafood I

have ever eaten—pure, super fresh, very well prepared. Oysters, fish tartars, calamari, “fritto misto”—could you think of a better place to have your aperitivo? Linteloo Showroom: On the well-known Via Tortona you find a permanent showroom by design label Linteloo that is a true pleasure when you are looking for luxurious furniture. Larger than life couches, beautifully crafted Italian fabrics and materials and a one-of-a-kind reception. Pure pampering for the design heart. Call first when you want to drop by, it is by appointment only.

Museo del Novocento: This is one of my favorite spots for a cultural afternoon. Once every two weeks, Carnet de miart presents a selection of significant spots in Milan—streets, bars, restaurants, public squares, exhibition spaces, archaeological sites—as seen and narrated by artists, curators, designers, and cultural critics who work or have worked in the city. For our sixth issue, we’ve asked the people behind the Ventura Lambrate project for their Top places:
Near the Duomo you find a modern flavor between all Renaissance beauty. The Museum of Twentieth Century lives up to its name by showing the public modern Italian masterpieces such as Lucio Fontana, Umberto Boccioni, de Chirico and a good selection of contemporary names. The lay-out of the museum is a bit of a labyrinth, but the view from the museum on the almost finished Duomo is already worth a visit.
Margriet Vollenberg, founder/director of Organisation in Design & Ventura Projects Pellini: This is where it all started for me in Milan. Right after my graduation I headed to Milan to work for Pellini. This beautiful jewelry atelier was founded by Emma Caimi Pellini in the late ‘40s and taken over by her daughter Carla— hence a very typical Italian organization. I am still in good contact with them and they keep on inspiring me in my work. Pellini bijoux can be found in three shops in Milan, with my personal favorite on the Via Morigi. Trattoria Cappelletta: Home base for us during Ventura Lambrate. Never change a winning formula seems to be the motto in this authentic Italian restaurant. Nothing pretentious, just a very pleasant spot, with lovely staff that still speaks the Lambrate dialect and makes you feel right at home. Make sure to order the gnocco fritto, a specialty from the northern Italian provinces. It tastes fantastic after a day of hard working at Ventura Lambrate—or an intense visit of course!

An ode to the style and ethics of conservation of what is beautiful and precious, ephemeral and eternal. At 20134 you really can find treasures that pass from hand to hand from the ’40s. A family environment, where Cecilia and

Alessandro, brothers of blood and passion, have created a unique shop, the kind of boutique where subtle women of the last century went to look for the perfect outfit. Between rough walls, turntables and old lamps, carefully chosen by
