I was born in Milan, I still live here and I love this beautiful town. So if you want any tips on what to do and where to go, I’m happy to recommend great places to see and things to do that may not be in the guide books. I play piano and I love composing music, such as classic simphonies or contemporary music. I’m a tango dancer, so if you’re looking for a milonga in Milan I’ll be glad to show you where to go. I love photograph, which is a real passion also, as you can see from some of the pics in this website. I will meet you on arrival to inform you on everything you need to know about the flat and give you the keys. I live less than 10 minutes walk from the house and I work in one of the historical trattorie of this district called Brutto Anatroccolo in Via Torricelli.

The Navigli District, named from its network of interconnected canals, remains one of the historic and charming areas of Milan. While it was long an impoverished working-class neighborhood and still looks a bit rough, things have changed for the better since the 1980s, when houses along the canals were renovated, artists started moving in to find inspiration in the idyllic quarter, and restaurants opened along the waterways. Today there are plenty of bars and restaurants in the area and several antique and design stores have opened here. With hip bohemian shops full of handmade items and vintage clothing, travellers can easily find one-of-a-kind gems in Navigli, don’t miss Via Vigevano and Corso di Porta Ticinese. The area between the Navigli and Zona Tortona – the cradle of most of the major initiatives about everything related to design taking place in the city – hosts a variety of interesting stores. It’s especially worth a visit every last Sunday of the month, when Naviglio Grande is the site of an antique market.
