Would you name for us 5 things that you would like to suggest to those who come to Milan for the first time, or that Milanese could rediscover?
A walk on a Sunday morning to rediscover the Rotonda della Besana and enjoy the beautiful tranquility of the space.
The Castello Sforzesco (Sforza Castle) and the interiors of its museum, designed by BBPR.
Strolling through the streets of Milan and discover the beautiful hidden courtyards.
Only few people know the church of San Maurizio al monastero Maggiore, named “the Sistine Chapel of Milan”. At a cross street with Corso Magenta, I was extremely impressed to discover this marvelous beauty so little celebrated at the same time.
What does Senato Hotel Milano represent for you?
For me, Senato Hotel is a group of people who believe in beauty as a fundamental part of hospitality. I share with Senato Hotel the passion for handmade goods, respect and wonder for the skillful work of the artisans: no matter how many times I’ve been there, the wall covered in ginkgo biloba leaves fascinates me every time. I also love the courtyard, located in the very heart of the building and covered in water, where time seems to stand still, although outside there’s a city that almost never sleeps.
