City Guides
Milan, Italy
Our founder, Neada, shares her highlights of Italy's design capital — from an architectural wonder to the city's best Risotto Alla Milanese.
(1) VILLA NECCHI CAMPIGLIO
(2) ACCADEMIA DI BRERA
An academy for the fine arts since 1776, wander through the grounds and explore the hallowed halls before sifting through art books at their library upstairs.
(3) ACHILLE CASTIGLIONI FOUNDATION
A moving and inspiring tribute to Milanese architect Castiglioni, famed for many of his iconic lamp and chair designs. This home is a catalogue of his drawings, writings, objects—a tribute to his life and work.
(4) TRATTORIA MILANESE DAL 1933
Down winding cobblestone streets, you might chance upon this traditional Milanese restaurant. Handed down through three generations of the Giuseppe family, it continues to serve up the city's most sublime risotto alla Milanese.
(5) ROVELLO 18
At once casual and refined, this restaurant in the heart of Milan serves classic fare and elegant wines — poured into paper thin glasses. Every detail feels intentional and intimate, and the Cacio e Pepe is simply sublime.
