The Best Places to Visit
Fuorisalone
If you will be in Milan for the Salone del Mobile, you cannot miss out on a few imperative places and events. Milan is not the place for slumbering.
Did you know that another design event will take place in Milan from the 4th to the 9th of April? It is not a trade fair nor a specific location. Fuorisalone is an ensemble of events related to Salone del Mobile and distributed by different places all across the city. The exhibitions can include the topics of automotive, technology, telecommunications, art, fashion, and food. The purpose of it is to portray design as a dynamic event asking for the engagement of visitors and embedded into the geography of the town.
Whichever the purpose of your visit to Milan is, you should visit the Duomo, or at least wander around the Piazza. The emblematic cathedral, with its towering pillars, intricate pinnacles, and pyramid-shaped façade, is the ultimate symbol of the Lombardian city. Apart from being an irrefutable tourist attraction, you can also climb up to the roof, surrounded by marbled pinnacles, and overlook the city.
Montenapoleone
If you are a fashionista, you have most certainly heard about Montenapoleone or Milan’s fashion district. At every corner, there is a Dior, Gucci, Giorgio Armani, and other upscale fashion brands. Arcaded boutiques, elegant delicatessens, irresistible showrooms, Milanese cakes, fancy heeled shoes, debonair purses. A cluster of fashion, exquisiteness, and a sense of poshness.
At night, Milan is reborn in the Brera district. Besides being home to the Academy of Fine Arts, Brera is a debonair neighborhood emanating bohemia and art. Located at the center of the city, Brera is where culture and nature meet: there are several antique shops and galleries, such as the Pinacoteca, as well as the Braidense National Library and the Botanical Gardens.
Now there are no excuses for you not going to Salone del Mobile this April, attending iSaloni, and having the time of your life! DelightFULL will be there waiting for you with a smile, and lots of novelties!
