For the inside guide to the art and design scene in Milan, we spoke to Architect and Creative Director Marie-Louise Sciò, whos behind the look of hotels La Posta Vecchia in Rome and the legendary Il Pellicano in Tuscany. Here, wearing Torys ribbed cotton polo and crochet and fringe skirt, she shares her recommendations.
- First-time visitors to Milan must visit
The Cenacolo Vinciano that is the Church of Santa Maria delle Grazie. In the refectory of the church of Santa Maria delle Grazie, one of the absolute masterpieces of history is kept: Leonardo da Vincis Last Supper.
- Best places to stay
Grand Hotel et de Milan and La Locanda Solferino.
- Architecture lovers should visit
Obvious but the Duomo and all of the Porta Nuova district, which is being built for the Expo and has changed the citys skyline. Piazza Gae Aulenti, for example, is a brand-new landmark in town.
- And for those who love great interiors
Any house done by Dimore Studio.
- Design lovers should also visit
Dimore Studio Gallery and, every year in April, Salone del Mobile.
- My favorite museums and galleries
PAC, the exhibition space for contemporary art in Milan, as well as Museo del Novecento.
- Best public art
The botanical garden inside the Brera Art Academy and the secret courtyards at the University of Milan, in the city center.
- The best view can be found at
The classical one from the top of the Duomo cathedral and the new outstanding view from Ceresio 7, overlooking the new Milanos skyline.
- Best place for local treasures
Cavalli e Nastri and J.J. Martins online La DoubleJ shop for vintage treasures.
- The movers and shakers in the Milan art and design scene head to
Bar Basso, an old-school bar.
- My favorite local escape
The Bulgari Spa.
- One secret only a local would know
