December 6th, 2023
The first week of December, in Milan, is synonymous with Sant'Ambrogio, the day before the Immaculate Conception holiday. This year, they fall on Thursday and Friday, becoming a pretext for the exodus of many out-of-town residents. Milan, therefore, temporarily empties and recharges energy in anticipation of the hectic Christmas crowd. To help you choose activities for your free time this weekend, nss's weekly guide is here to assist you as always.
Where to Eat in Milan - Silvano Vini e Cibi
The new wine bar osteria in the heart of NoLo bears the signature of Cesare Battisti, one of the most representative chefs of traditional Milanese cuisine. The venue features a long 14-meter counter where you can eat and watch the preparation of dishes, engaging in conversations with your neighbor. If this weekend your goal was to combine cuisine and conviviality, Silvano Vini e Cibi is the place for you: ragù and a selection of natural wines are there to welcome you.

What to Visit in Milan - Mass
At the Triennale di Milano, the first installation by Ron Mueck, an Australian hyper-realistic sculptor currently working in London, arrives. For the first time, he can show one of his works to the Italian public. Mass, that's the name of the installation, consists of 100 skulls, designed to evoke the remains piled up in the catacombs of Paris and at the same time denounce human atrocities in Cambodia, Rwanda, and Iraq. Each skull is made of fiberglass and resin and hand-finished by the artist; each one is about one and a half meters high, and the entire installation weighs about 5 tons.
