DESTINATION
One might say that the idea to build panoramic decks on the top of new skyscrapers is a new trend of modern architecture counting in a best case scenario only one hundred years. Still, by traveling to Italy, we might easily discover that local Florence visionaries realized this kind of viewing points half a millennium ago.
DESTINATION
While exploring Northern Italy and after having visited beautiful Milan, Como, Bergamo and Stresa, and their seething streets pumping with sun, energy and life, it is time to escape in a peaceful and quiet paradise. After busy days of intense shopping, sight-seeing and walking-walking-walking wouldn’t you enjoy a one day retreat in a place where you don’t have to do anything? Just to sit on a shore taking in the the sun, alpine air, a soft breeze and a breathtaking view on… Switzerland!
EXHIBITION
Do you know why “Biennale di Venezia” is called “Biennale”? I don’t. What I do know is that once every two years it organizes the world’s most important architectural event. This is the year when you can discover the latest design visions, building concepts and the most inspiring hints brought in from all over of our planet into a single place: the Venice Biennale.
OFF THE BEATEN PATH
Italy is a country of fairy tales, magic landscapes and fabulous architecture. Though perhaps it would not be that easy to meet a real princess or a white unicorn here, it is more than easy to encounter a real castle that looks exactly like the one of your last daydream.
EXHIBITION
A very unusual and precious exhibition has opened at La Triennale in Milan. The protagonist is the necklace telling visual stories and proudly claiming the supremacy of Italian jewelry in the world of fashion.
NEW
Italy is famous with its piazzas and open air public spaces. However, this piazza is a really special one.
MUSEUM
Chic, mysterious and technologic. These are the first impressions that one person has entering the recently opened Prada Foundation in Milan. This new space for contemporary art is more than just a museum. Designed by the world renowned architect Rem Koolhaas, Fondazione Prada is a great (and reassuring) story that illustrates how an abandoned industrial space can turn into a precious (literally golden!) spot for art lovers.
TRADITIONS
Only few days are left before the Santa Pasqua! This Sunday our small Italy and the whole Christian world will celebrate the great festivity in honor of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Each involved country has its special recipes for the occasion.
