For paper lovers!
One of my fav place in the city is this little cozy place, just 35 square meters all covered by magazines. Basically, you are in heaven. As they say: “Reading Room wants to be a meeting place for fans, collectors, professionals and all those who, intrigued, decide to come in to browse a magazine. A space in Milan dedicated to the dissemination, understanding and appreciation of magazines.”
There you can find magazines about: photography, art, fashion, design, music; more than 200 international titles carefully selected. Reading Room stems from the desire to give voice and visibility to a phenomenon that in recent years, through visionary editorial projects, is redefining the publishing system and the sense of the printed paper at the time of the internet.
Plus, they also organize events as project laughing events and talks.

Inaugurated on May 3, 1934, the Roberto Cozzi indoor swimming pool was the first entirely covered pool in Italy - a masterpiece of the engineer and architect Luigi Lorenzo Secchi (1899-1992).
It's possible to book just for the day by the website www.milanosport.it and, for summer days, you can also use the terrace.
It's a very laid back bar located in Chinatown, that serves also food. I have designed this bar with Roberto Marone, who is one of the owners and we took inspiration from our various travels. It's a very cozy, almost homely place and a perfect spot to hang out.
