The elements comprising the screen paintings are a rich metaphor of expressive cultural and historical references. The whole effect is that of displaying a changed relationship between man and space, and is perfect for hotel meeting, socialisation and artistic communication. MILAN - THE CITY The tour of Milan beginning from its Gothic heart: the Cathedral. It is from here that the city s main streets branch off, although it is also true that to discover its hidden treasures, you need to get lost. Take a walk through the old bohemian district of Brera, where you can visit the Academia, the antiquarian stores and enjoy a cocktail in the historical Bar Giamaica. Milan the financial capital, is also the Milan of design and fashion: take a wander though the Tortona Zone during the Fuorisalone and visit the fashion district between Via Montenapoleone and Via della Spiga to admire the window displays of the most renowned Maisons.

Bizarre, fashionable, creative or slow: it s up to you to choose which of its many faces to discover.
