Loste Café is a Danish bakery opened by Stefano Ferraro and Lorenzo Cioli, two Italians who met at the star restaurant Noma, in Copenhagen. It's a simple (but with a good taste!) coffee shop, with amazing cinnamon rolls - Lorenzo is the former head of pastry in Noma - and a good option for a healthy quick lunch.

Home of the negroni sbagliato. God fun for an aperitivo served in a gigantic glass, especially popular during Salone del Mobile.

The Brera Gallery was officially established in 1809, even though a first heterogeneous collection with educational purpose existed already from 1776 – and then increased in the following years – alongside the Accademia di Belle Arti, requested by Mary Therese of Austria to offer the students the opportunity to study lofty masterpieces of art close up. Brera become a museum to host the most important works of art from all of the areas conquered by the French armies. So unlike other important museums in Italy such as the Uffizi, Brera did not start out life as the private collection of a prince or nobleman but as the product of a deliberate policy decision. Paintings confiscated from churches and convents throughout Lombardy with the religious orders’ dissolution began to pour into the museum in the early years of the 19th century, soon to be joined by artworks of similar provenance from other areas of the Kingdom of Italy. This explains why the collection comprises chiefly religious works, many of them large altarpieces, and accounts for Brera’s special aura on which later acquisitions have had only a minor impact.

Charming place where to find books, wine, music, exhibitions and talks. My favourite bit is the lovely little backyard.
