ART & ARCHITECTURE
What keeps me impressed the most about Italy, and more in particular about Milan, is the interest and the great attention that people pay here to art, architecture and design. These matters are not a part of a business chain (advertise-sell), but rather essential features that deeply rooted into the local culture, into the Italian DNA. Here one should not be a designer or an architect to attend special events and to be updated on a very specific topics.

Architecture is one of the strongest travel attractions in the world. Somehow some buildings are surprisingly capable to constantly draw thousands and thousands of visitors. Often just to see the world’s best stone works people are ready to cross oceans flying for dozens of hours toward an opposite side of the globe. Isn’t it a kind of magic?
SPECIAL EVENT
The next World Exposition will take place in Milan between May 1st and October 31st, 2015 with other 142 participating countries. The proposed theme is “Feeding the planet, energy for life” and includes everything related to nutrition, from the lack of food in some areas of the world to nutrition education, to issues related to GMOs.
