DAY TRIPS & EXCURSION
For all the world’s foodies all roads sooner or later lead to Rome. Well, we all know that “bread and circuses” have always been in the Roma’s DNA. And these days are no exception. However, this summer is about to bring us something food-exceptional even for the high gastronomic standards of the Italian capital: over 400 meters of a very special “Riverside Market” (www.riversidemarket.it) made of national (as well as international) specialties, only-in-Italy street snacks and drinks, open-air restaurants, farmer's market and green home-made products.
ART EXHIBITION
Rinascimento Elettronico is the largest and most complete exhibitions on the video art pioneer Bill Viola, a contemporary NYC based video artist whose artistic expression depends upon electronic, sound, and image technology. 40 years of his research is on display.
DESTINATION
There are many piazzas out there. Some of them are better known then others, but this one is truly special. Besides its iconic design, it offers a spectacular and unique experience twice a year. Piazza del Campo in Siena is a shell-shaped square that counts about 1000 years of history. It is considered as one of the most remarkable urban open spaces ever conceived by the Italian school of architecture.
MILAN DESIGN WEEK
Ventura Design District is one of the spots showcasing experimental design and works of young creators during the Milan Design Week. Numerous small and big exhibitions that range from famous names like Ikea to emerging international designers occupy all the free ex-industrial spaces around via Privata Massimiliano Ventura.
MILAN DESIGN WEEK
Each time it is very hard to say what was the best exhibition of Milan Design Week. However, there are always some single exhibitions that make our hearts beat faster and make us think that a three-zeroes cost of a single piece of design is a reasonable price.
