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

To really reach/understand a city you must live there or, at least, acting like you do. Nothing makes you feel more like a Milanese D.O.C. than stopping by Frida's on a Sunday morning to buy some flowers. Located in Brera this tiny shop has an extraordinary colour palette of flowers and plants. After that we just take a walk in the neighbourhood holding our bunch of Brassica Oleracea and our day is made.

Gramm Cafè is a super lovely place, born just few months ago in the warmest part of Milan: Navigli. Great for sharing some moments with friends, tasting great quality cocktails in a stylish designed interior. One of the best drink is for sure "Prete Rosso"!

An icon of 1930s art deco in the heart of Milan. Villa Necchi was built by Pietro Portaluppi for the Necchi Campiglio family, which belonged to the Lombard industrial bourgeoisie. 

Best designer clothing store in Milan (in my humble opinion!).
