With the arrival of October, Milan prepares to celebrate the gloomiest month of the year by organising parties, exhibitions and markets that explore a darker dimension after the hot summer months. From the exhibition at Castello Sforzesco dedicated to the artist Alberto Martini to events where you can buy decorations or vintage costumes for the 31 October party, there are endless opportunities for fun in the city this first weekend of the month. Here, then, are 5 things to do in Milan from 4 to 6 October.
To Eat - Fat Sam at the Winery
A few months ago, Fat Sam at the Winery opened on Corso San Gottardo, near Piazza Ventiquattro Maggio, a small and cosy place that has already attracted the attention of natural wine enthusiasts. With a freshly curated selection of wines that perfectly accompanies a classic but delicious menu, Fat Sam at the Winery is the perfect place for a dinner with friends over chicken, truffle fries and homemade ice cream, or for a romantic date over a good glass.

To Chill - Crosta
If the sun decides to rest behind grey clouds in Milan again this weekend, it will be the perfect opportunity to enjoy a good baked good at Crosta. In the Risorgimento neighbourhood, this adorable bakery offers delicacies of all kinds, from pizza to croissants, the perfect snack for those who plan to spend the day wandering around the city discovering markets or exhibitions.

To Discover - Alberto Martini: La Danza Macabra al Castello Sforzesco
On 2 October, an exhibition dedicated to Alberto Martini opened at Castello Sforzesco, Salette della Grafica. On the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the artist's death, an exhibition dedicated to two of the artist's main themes, the allegory of death and the macabre dance. It is a unique way to start celebrating the month of October and its frightful feasts, as well as an unmissable opportunity to explore Martini's most important prints up close.

To Shop - Wunder Mrkt
Sunday 6 October sees the return of the Wunder Mrkt market, the first after the long summer break. The new season of the Milan markets will thus be inaugurated in grand style inside the evocative space of Spirit de Milan, where we expect to find not only vintage clothes and vinyls, but also live music, food, drinks and special activities for all ages.
Via Bovisasca, 57/59
To Party - Vacuum
This Friday, 4 October, the Vacuum in Porta Ticinese will be hit by a wave of positive energy with the arrival of the DJ sets of Vlada and Nikkie, protagonists of an evening signed by Reibu. Between techno, house, trance and a mix of everything, the two artists are ready to make their audience fall in love with overwhelming sounds.
