"All this he saw, for one moment breathless and intense, vivid on the morning sky; and still, as he looked, he lived; and still, as he lived, he wondered."
I am not ready. I am so not ready. I feel like I just got back from Taiwan (which I did), Rome in between, and now I must prepare to depart for Denmark and I am so not ready for the Design Week. Still, the...
If the world wasn't on fire, I would almost be tempted to say that it's a wonderful time to be alive and in Milan, and it is, at least from an artistic point of view. The city is flourishing and you literally don't know where...
What a splendid exhibition! I was expecting your regular, run-of-the-mill show at Palazzo Reale, which is usually good enough, but I was surprised at the depth and width of this new endeavour, that spans across the city with multiple initiatives and, even within the show...
I have a problem with the artistic current of the Macchiaioli, and my problem is that I always get them mixed up with Divisionism. And I don't like Divisionism, so I almost skipped this exhibition, and that would have been a shame because I do...
A few weeks ago, I wrote about an installation with pieces by Giorgio Armani at the Pinacoteca di Brera, here in Milan, and as a matter of fact that wasn't the only show around fashion I visited, which is unlike me. While I was in...

Last month, I caught the opportunity of a few meetings I had in Venice and stayed around to catch this exhibition at the splendid Peggy Guggenheim Foundation, and it was stunning. You have time until March 2nd, and I strongly recommend you make time, if...
The exhibition Nocturnes, hosted in the Canovian Rooms of the Museo Correr in Venice, stages works by Karen LaMonte alongside classical statues and it's the first appointment in the Dialoghi Canoviani programme, which aims to place contemporary artistic research in direct dialogue with the museum’s...
When Giorgio Armani died, back in September last year, they honoured him with two exhibitions: one at his Armani Silos, and a temporary installation of his dresses at the Pinacoteca di Brera. I managed to go and see the latter, a few weeks ago, with...
I was able to catch this exhibition during its last few days, and I'm glad I did. Pellizza da Volpedo: i capolavori, hosted at the Galleria d’Arte Moderna (GAM) in Villa Reale, is a major retrospective dedicated to one of Italy’s most compelling painters between...
