In a week from now I'll be on a plane to Italy! It has been well over a decade since my last visit and I'm super excited to go back.
When I was 16 I was very impressed by the Italian guys and Italian shoes. At 17 it was lambrusco that made my head spin in Rome. And at 19 I was even more impressed by the giant collection of contemperary art at the Venice Biennale. The national pavillions blew my mind: so many cultures and different approaches to modern art, craftsmanship and aesthetics. With my analog Minolta camera I took pictures of the art and city of Venice only. No selfies or pictures of friends as you can see.
Next week I hope to be impressed by ice cream, design and friendship as I'll be strolling around Milan during Design Week with dear blog friends.
Have you ever been to Milan? I know some of you here are Italian and even though we'll have a wonderful guide, maybe you have a recommendation of a place that we shouldn't miss in Milan? Grazie mille!
All pictures were taken by me in 1999 in Venice, Italy with my analog Minolta camera.
Ik ben er nog nooit geweest, maar hoop er zeker een keer heen te gaan. Heel veel plezier! Ciao!
Grazie mille, Stephanie!
Lucky lady, we went there 2 years ago same time – LOVE it :) Can't wait to see more. Happy w e Judith :-)
Did you go for the Salone? I'm so much looking forward to it! Hope you had a nice weekend, Anya?
Ok, I'll have to get used to these blago14 posts even though they hurt… I hope you'll have a fantastic time – I know you will – and maybe I can make it next year…?
We'll miss you, Lena! And I'm sure there will be a next time ;) xx
Here, an italian girl from Milan!
Well, with Jillian you are in safe hands ;)
My fav place/things/food:
* panzerotti di Luini {close to Duomo}
* visit the Duomo and go on the roof top
* Brera area {perfect to walk around and have a coffee}
* gelato at “GROM” http://www.grom.it/eng/index.php http://www.grom.it/ita/dettagli_gelateria.php?id_gelateria=23&citt%E0=Milano
* if you like shoes, “Mauro” Corso di Porta Ticinese 60
* Navigli area {in the evening, for aperitivo or happy hour}
Divertiti a Milano, fai tante foto! ;)
Grazie mille for your tips Ilaria! The Brera & Naviglia area and Panzerotti are on our list. I'll think of you when tasting it (for the very fist time)! xx
