DAY TRIP
Silent, relaxing and surrounded by steep rocky cliffs from one side and waters of Italy’s largest lake from the other, Limone sul Garda is an unbelievable escape from busy cities, traffic and crowds. Not to mention the pure mountain air, crystal clear lake, spectacular views and picturesque promenades.
MUSEUM
Even if you are not a baby anymore, you will love this museum. Thousands of dolls, from giant to impossibly small ones, all decorated with incredible details, filling up the historical Castle Rocca Borromea di Angera located on the shore of Lake Maggiore.
EXHIBITION
At Palazzo Litta in the heart of 5VIE design district on the occasion of the Milan Design Week 2019 you can find “Simulazione Milanese” by Birdly, a technologic bird flight simulator. Lay on it and fly! Swiss-designed “Simulazione Milanese” is a modern interpretation of Plato’s cave allegory, in which the cave is replaced by a giant birdcage hanging over Milan.
EXHIBITION
Genius. The definition is the embodiment for Leonardo Da Vinci. Celebrated artist, inventor and thinker, this year marks the 500th anniversary of his death, with celebrations and events around the world. Across his home country are celebrations and events giving a glimpse into Da Vinci’s brilliance. With so many events to choose from, here is a sampling, starting in his home town: VINCI
EXHIBITION
You will definitely have chills entering this magic space. 15,000 black butterflies dramatically cover the whole interior of the historical Milanese apartment at Fondazione Adolfo Pini in the heart of Brera Design District. Entitled “Black Cloud” this is a site specific art installation created by the Mexican artist Carlos Amorales.
EXHIBITION
Home Sweet Home. Perhaps the Sweetest home ever! Rainbow colors, soft knitting and every single object enveloped with yarn. Angela Missoni, the creative director and president of Missoni, selected Alessandra Roveda to curate the installation representing her family’s beloved knitwear brand on the occasion of the Milan Design Week 2019.
EXHIBITION
Graceful and delicate and, at the same time, featuring powerful aesthetics and elaborate geometries: this is what you will feel visiting Home collection by Maison Hermes at the heart of Brera Design district in via Palermo 10. Yes, feel, because this year the Hermes embraces visitors with a dramatic space made of dimmed lights, strong scent of raw materials and dry stone walls contrasting fragile and sophisticated objects on display.
DAY TRIP
Perhaps the longest queue of the Milan Design Week 2019, and definitely one of the strongest emotions. Exhibition “Objets Nomades” (or Nomadic Objects) by Louis Vuitton at Palazzo Serbelloni features the Home collection of the luxury French fashion brand. What really impresses about the Louis Vuitton exhibition is the breathtaking “sky” made of white lanterns. Hundreds and hundreds, they fill the whole space singing silent songs about the adventures to come and new horizons to explore.
