What to visit in Milan - Gae Aulenti

The Triennale hosts an exhibition that showcases the entire artistic journey of Gae Aulenti. For the occasion, 1:1 scale environments have been recreated (including the set design for Strauss’s Elektra, the Fiat dealership in Zurich, and the Olivetti store in Buenos Aires). There is also an external corridor where sketches and models, notes and photographs, drawings and magazines are gathered - an area of the museum that will likely be more appreciated by professionals in the field, but we also recommend the exhibition to enthusiasts and the curious.

Where to have fun in Milan - Magnolia

For this edition of our 5 things to do in Milan series, the "Where to have fun" section will also have an Azzurri theme. The Circolo Magnolia presents in collaboration with Offside the screening of Italy-Switzerland. Three matches were enough to bring everyone together. A group stage passed with some difficulty but a miraculous Zaccagni helped us get through unscathed. Now it’s the round of 16 and we can gather once again in our park to support our team.
