5 things to do in Milan this weekend

'But the last day of summer, never felt so cold' sang Robert Smith. Between a latent nostalgia and an enthusiasm comparable only to the sense of rebirth that the first of the year generates in us, September has arrived on time. In Milan, French tourists are replaced by locals with the 24-hour, the metro fills up, the frenetic daily life begins again. In this climate of restarts and good intentions, nss guides you as always to discover the best of the Metropolis we all love, even if our hearts are heavy from another summer that is inexorably drawing to a close.

To Eat - Al Fresco

"A meeting place with a kitchen" says the sign on Via Savona and, indeed, the restaurant lives up to its promise: it is the perfect place to meet up with friends, family and work colleagues. The menu offers exceptional dishes including red prawn buttons, mandarin-scented beef tail broth, monkfish cheeks or liquorice-flavoured Jerusalem artichoke cream, in a space reminiscent of an enchanted greenhouse where memories in the company of your loved ones will be equally enchanting.

To Discover - Multiple Canvases

September also means a film festival in the company of the Fondazione Prada. This year the selection of twelve films is curated by the members of the scientific committee of "Human Brains", the multidisciplinary project dedicated to neuroscience and presented by the Foundation in Milan and Venice. The selection includes: The Wild Boy (1970) by François Truffaut, Paris, Texas (1984) by Wim Wenders, Amarcord (1973) by Federico Fellini, The Red Desert (1964) by Michelangelo Antonioni, 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) by Stanley Kubrick, The Battleship Potëmkin (1925) by Sergei Michajlovič Ėjzenštejn, The Seventh Seal (1957) by Ingmar Bergman, Blade Runner (1982) by Ridley Scott and many others. An appointment not to be missed among the lime velvet armchairs of Largo Isarco.

To Chill - Champagne Socialist

The mocking French expression that could be compared to the Italian 'communists with a Rolex' (communists with Rolex) perfectly portrays the atmosphere of this restaurant in Porta Venezia. Here, only natural or - as the founders Alessandro Longhin and Davide Martelli would define them - brutal wines are allowed, in a space that meets expectations amid bare walls and minimalist décor, a suggestion that seems to come straight from post-Soviet Eastern Europe. Get ready to sip a selection of revolutionary labels from France, Italy, Spain and Germany.

To Shop - Clori

An exceptional florist, one of the most renowned in the city but not only. In fact, the shop in the Ticinese area reveals everything you need to make the inside of your home more welcoming: tables, mirrors, lanterns, blankets, tea towels, vases, glasses, essences, candles and much more, as well as, of course, flowers for any occasion.

To Club - Amnesia

The season of good nights starts again just like office life. This Saturday Solid Grooves returns to the console at Amnesia Milano for a sensational season opener.
