Milan Design Week includes 3 different events taking place during the same week in April: Salone del Mobile, the furniture fair for professionals of the furniture and design sector, Brera Design Week and Fuorisalone.
It is one of the most exciting weeks to visit Milan.
Fuorisalone is a week packed with exciting exhibitions, installations, and cocktail parties and for this one week the public has access to buildings that are normally closed. Thousands of tourists come to Milan for this, so book your accomodation well in advance.
Fuorisalone emerged spontaneously in the 80s around all the small and big – established and independent – furniture designers and has no governing organ.
In 1991 the first guide to the events and a logo were created, and in 2003 the websitewith all relevant information about the events was made.

Wine and Food
If you love wine and great food there are some areas we recommend you visit and you could spend the night in one of the many agrotourisms. Some great areas are Franciacorta, Asti and Langhe (where, among other towns, Alba is located).
There are many food and wine festivals in both Piedmont and Lombardia. These festivals are great for getting an insight into small communities and their seasonal products (wine, truffles, cheeses, chestnuts, mushrooms, pumpkins etc.)
Star-studded restaurants outside Milan
If you came to Milan by car there are lots of great restaurants in Lombardy. We want to mention:
D’O Davide Oldani’s wonderful restaurant with 1 Michelin star, located in San Pietro all’Olmo, Cornaredo (find on map). Davide Oldani is the chef who invented the concept Pop Cuisine (Cucina Pop). Remember to book well in advance.

Antonino Cannavacciuolo also runs the restaurant (with 2 Michelin stars) and hotel Villa Crespi at the beautiful Lago d’Orta.
You can find the Michelin guide’s other suggestions here.
In most countries we go directly to the restaurant and have a drink while we study the menu. In Milan you start with an aperitivo.
The aperitivo is an appetizer: a glass of wine or a cocktail with snacks, that you have before going out for dinner – at around 6-8 p.m..
Over the last couple of years the Milanese aperitivo, or as they call it happy hour, has evolved from being a quick cocktail into becoming an event that sometimes stretches over the entire night and the snacks have become a buffet, that doesn’t wake your appetite but stills your hunger.’
Duomo area
This is a great place to have an aperitivo on a terrace so your view of the Cathedral serves as a backdrop to your night.
Camparino, one of Milan’s oldest and most popular coctail bars Mosco, an absolute must for their world renowned Negroni, located at the start of Galleria Vittorio Emanuele at 21, Piazza del Duomo (find on map)

You won’t get any snacks here, just an excellent drink but you can try some of their delicious sandwiches with it, but you have to buy those on the side..
Isola area
Another good area to have an aperitivo together with the Milanese in is the very cosy Isola area (find on map). The best street is Via P. Borsieri (find on map) where the legendary jazz place Blue Note is too.

You can’t say Milan without mentioning La Scala; opera, Giuseppe Verdi, ballet and the Orchestra Filarmonica della Scala. It doesn’t have to ruin you financially to get a ticket to see one of the perfomances but it requires planning to get the ticket or even get onone of the coveted gallery tickets at €12.
Gallery tickets for evening perfomances (opera, ballet and symphonic concerts)
Here are the instructions of how to get your hands on the €12 tickets for ballet and opera evening perfomances, and perhaps you won’t get the best seats for watching the performanceat at this price, but the acoustics up under the roof in the highest gallery are amazing and it’s an incredible experience.You are going to need patience to get the tickets and there are only 140 seats available for each performance:
You have to be at the Evening Box Office in 1, Largo Ghiringhelli (find on map) at 1.00 p.m. (be there at least a couple of hours before then, if the performance is one of the popular ones or on either Friday or Saturday night!) and join the queue, the lucky first 140 (who must bring some kind of official picture ID) will be noted down on a list, every single person who wants a ticket must show up, you cannot book for other people.

You may not associate Milan with the Roman Empire, but the city, which was originally a Celtic settlement, was conquered by the Roman consul Calvus in 222 BC and he went on to conquer the entire region. In 286 AD Romam Emperor Diocletian decided to divide the Roma Empire into two; the Western Roman Empire and the Eastern Roman Empire and made Mediolanum (the Latin name for the city) the capital of the Western Empire. Dioceltian chose to reside in Nicodemia, the capital of the Eastern Empire (in today’s Turkey) and left Mediolanum to his colleague emperor Maximian, whom we have to thank for the monuments whose ruins you can visit today. Below is a list of the most important:
The imperial Roman Palace in Via Brisa (find on map)
This was Emperor Maximian’s palace but it was actually so vast that it constituted an entrie district; it was around 80,000 square metres and was built when Mediolanum was made capital.
The main square of Medoilanum in Roman times is located below today’s Pinacoteca Ambrosiana and the San Sepolcro church, it was built by emperor Augustus between the second and thrid century and was 160 metres by 55 metres, the entrance to the forum is at the corner of Via dell’Ambrosiana and Piazza Pio XI.
16 (well actually there are 17) eight and a half metre tall marble columns with Corinthian capitals from the 3rd centúry AD. They have been named after the church they are located in front of La basilica di San Lorenzo.
Although it is used aa a Christian church today, it was originally a pagan temple from the 2nd century AD, the chapel of the church dates back to 400 AD. It is one of the best preserved Roman monuments in Milan.
The museum holds many beautiful examples of Roman attifacts, pottery, mosaics etc. On the museum grounds you can visit the uncovered site of a Roman residence from between the 1st and 3rd Century, it features some beautiful examples of Roman mosaics and pottery and an octagonal Roman watchtower from the outer walls.
Here you can see an astounding example of a Roman floor in one of the oldest preserved domus (residence) from Mediolanum, it is from the 2nd century BC
The remains of this 2000 year old Amphitheatre covers and area of about 450 square metres, you have to book your visit to this extraordinary ruin by either writing an email to teatroromano@mi.camcom.it or call +390285154378or +390285154593 during office hours

The circus was built between the third and fourth century and was originally 470 metres by 85 metres and was used mainly for horse racing, it originally spanned an area between Corso Magenta where the archeological museum is located and Via Circo, so it is only the last part of it you can see here today.
