Cultural Italy Blog: Art, Coffee & Love
MILAN DESIGN WEEK
Milan Design week is not for everybody? You are wrong. Even kids are welcome here. Still don’t believe it? Then visit La Triennale’s Giro Giro Tondo to discover the most baby friendly design museum ever.
ART
If you are planning a trip to Florence, you will be amazed how many things you will want to do and see in this city. It is going to be difficult to decide either to start with the Brunelleschi’s Dome, Ponte Vecchio, a huge dish of fiorentina steak or the Uffizi Gallery. Yes, Uffizi! And you cannot skip this latter one because we all love and need the outstanding Italian art.
DESTINATION
If you are on a hunt for something very Italian and really ancient, this magic place is for you. Located only one hour far from Milan, Castello di Rivalta dates back to 1025 and features breathtaking architecture. You feel like you are in a fantastic fairy tale.
TRADITIONS
Did you know that Milan has a special day for setting up Christmas decorations? While the rest of the world does it somewhere in late November or early December, northern Italians have the feast of Saint Ambrose, when they pull out Santa, garlands and other winter toys from their dusty boxes. Each year on December 7, Milan’s main Christmas tree switches on along with other thousands of cozy city Christmas lights and tiny home nativity scenes (presepe) that every Italian family gets ready for the Eve.
EXHIBITION
If you still haven’t visit the 15th Venice Biennale, you are running out of time. Only few days left before the world’s most important 6-month long architectural exhibition will end. Open since May, 28, it has been a great venue to see and get inspired. Missed it?
EXHIBITION
After having spent some time with your head in the clouds at the Swiss Pavilion, spying on Japanese tiny houses and getting dazzled under the artificial sunrays of Lightscapes, don’t forget to feel right at home in the Slovenian Pavilion at the 15th annual Venice Architecture Biennale.
