BRERA DISTRICT
The name Brera evokes the artists and intellectuals who regularly frequented the quarter at the turn of the century, but it also brings to mind its current identity as a fashionable and popular haunt steeped in culture: from the Pinacoteca to the Teatro Strehler and the historic head(hidden) of the Corriere della Sera. Not to mention the churches of San Marco and San Simpliciano with their musical events.
The district spans out around Via Brera in the area between the ancient Roman and medieval city walls and its name derives from "Braida", a term of Lombard origin that indicated a field near the city. In fact, during the Middle Ages, the area upon which the current district stands as a free space within the walls. A city within a city, from the nineteenth century up to the ‘60s it was Milan's artistic and literary heart and during the Risorgimento years, it was the birthplace of the Scapigliatura movement and, later, the artistic avant-garde movements from the Pointillist to Futurists. The district changed rapidly between the ‘60s and ‘70s to become an exclusive location with palazzi, boutiques, art galleries and antique shops.
A stroll through culture
To discover the neighbourhood’s most authentic atmosphere it is best to wander along the cobbled pedestrian streets that branch off from the main thoroughfares: via del Carmine, for example, that borders the 15th-century church of Santa Maria del Carmine and via Ciovasso with its art galleries. Eventually, however, all roads naturally lead to the magnificent Palazzo di Brera which represents the real cultural and artistic soul of this area, home of the famous Pinacoteca - one of the most important Italian museums - but also of other prestigious city institutions like the Accademia di Belle Arti, the Biblioteca Nazionale Braidense, the Museo e Osservatorio Astronomico, the Istituto Lombardo Accademia di Scienze e Lettere and the Orto Botanico, the latter being a verdant oasis in the centre of Milan.
In fact, culture is still in the air even when moving away from the heart of the neighbourhood: for example, in the nearby Museo del Risorgimento, where a reconstruction of the epic unification of Italy can be seen, and the Piccolo Teatro Strehler - which, with the nearby Piccolo Teatro Studio Expo forms one of the most important cultural hubs in Milan - or in the historical premises of the Corriere della Sera, the Milanese daily newspaper.
San Marco and San Simpliciano
Until the Navigli were covered over in the ‘30s via San Marco seemed like a scene from Venice: the Martesana canal came from Trezzo d'Adda and flowed into the "Tombone", a landing dock for boats transporting goods to Milan. The church of San Marco was founded in 1254 in via San Marco, perhaps incorporating an existing building dedicated to the saint in a sign of gratitude towards the Venetians who helped Milan in the battles against Frederick Barbarossa. Some interesting facts: the young Mozart stayed for three months the nearby rectory while the composer Giovanni Battista Sammartini was the church organist. On May 22nd, 1874, Giuseppe Verdi himself conducted his Requiem on the occasion of the first anniversary of the death of Alessandro Manzoni.
Following the nearby Corso Garibaldi, heading north towards Porta Garibaldi - another symbolic nightlife location in Milan that has recently undergone a massive urban renewal project - the church of San Simpliciano can be glimpsed in a side street. It is one of four basilicas - along with San Nazario Maggiore, Sant’Ambrogio and San Dionigi, which is no longer visible - commissioned in the fourth century by Bishop Ambrogio of Milan. San Marco and San Simpliciano are well known in the city for hosting numerous musical events.
The new Porta Nuova district: contemporary Milan
Initiated in 2009, the urban-renewal project comprises the area between Porta Garibaldi, the Isola district and the former Porta Nuova railway station, also known as "delleVaresine" because it was a terminus for trains from Varese, Novara, and Gallarate. The station was decommissioned in the early ‘60s and replaced by the current Porta Garibaldi Station. The new project - devised by a team of internationally-renowned architects - has redesigned the area creating a myriad of buildings with different functions: offices, commercial and residential spaces. A pedestrian system of gardens, piazzas, footbridges and bike paths unites all the zones. The complex of tower blocks that loom over piazza Gae Aulenti boasts some notable buildings including the Unicredit tower, the highest structure in Italy, the Torre Diamante between Viale della Liberazione and via Galilei, and the Bosco Verticale (Vertical Forest), two residential towers with planted terraces set in Via De Castillia and via Confalonieri in the Isola district.
Palazzo Lombardia
The large urban complex, head(hidden) of the Lombardy Regional offices, is one of the most iconic buildings of the Garibaldi-Repubblica redevelopment. The project, carried out between 2007 and 2010, has created a real "slice of a city”, a tower approx. 161 mt high and four lower curvilinear buildings. The lower structures, inspired by the peaks of Lombardy, provide a number of public spaces amongst which the impressive Piazza Città di Lombardia. The entire complex is home to the regional offices and commercial businesses, plus, exhibition spaces, meeting and conference rooms, libraries and archives, gardens, an auditorium and other rooms for public use.

The historic city centre can be reached with a pleasant 20- minutes walk: the cathedral of Duomo, Vittorio Emanuele Gallery, La Scala, the great fashion ateliers are only 1,5 km away from the apartments.
