The Planetarium of Milan, Civico Planetario "Ulrico Hoepli", is a building located at the entrance of Giardini di Porta Venezia. It's a beautiful structure designed by Piero Portaluppi and commissioned by the Italian-Swiss publisher Ulrico Hoepli.
Also the interior design is beautiful, there you can find a planetarium which projects and represents the image of the stars and their movements in the sky.
The Planetarium also has a library which is a section of the Museum of Natural History, near by.
They also organize educational activity concerning astronomy as talks, events and even concerts.
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.
Achille Castiglioni (1918-2002), architect and furniture designer, left an enormous amount of inventions and designs, carefully kept by his family in his studio museum in Piazza Castello. Castiglioni's studio museum can be visited on appointment throughout the year.
The owners were an industrial family of the XX century. We’ve been there a couple of times and we suggest it to every friend who is coming to town. You walk through the villa in the exact way they left it. You can see their personal pictures framed in the living room, their wardrobes and drawers full of stuff, like a pair of silk scarves especially designed by Monsieur Christian Dior for the sisters Gigina and Nedda Necchi, even the big marble’s bathrooms designed, like the entire house, by the architect Piero Portaluppi are inspiring.
