Milan is a treasure trove of masterpieces of world culture, but it’s a big mistake to go there just for the sightseeing tours. In the author’s Go to Star tour we will see a special Milan — for the Milanese, not for ordinary tourists, we will learn to enjoy art, not to meticulously analyze it, to get real pleasure from food and wine, not just tasting ten kinds of pasta. We will find out what the heroine of the book Elizabeth Gilbert meant when she talked about the famous Italian “the sweetness of doing nothing” — bel far niente.
— how the organ sounds under the Gothic vaults of the Duomo cathedral;
— how many iconic dresses and suits are in the museum of Giorgio Armani’s creations;
— how the famous painting “The Last Supper” was created and why the mystery of da Vinci is still beyond the control of historians;
— which rooftops offer the best views of the city;
— where the best Italian coffee and perfect pasta are served;
— whether mango sorbet can be combined with fish carpaccio and how to add sparkling wine to ice cream;
— why the wines of the Franciacorta region are closer to Champagne than to Prosecco.
