The Weekender Milan

Explore Milan through the eyes of Lorenzo Morandi in a melodic visual journey, moving between styles, trends, cultures, and changes. Morandi has never lived in the city as a resident, but knows it intimately as a commuter, dashing in and out at the beginning or end of a work day. The distance has given him a unique eye, knowledgeable about the details and hidden corners of Milan, yet able to explore it with the fascinated curiosity of a visitor. The idea of Milan changes, depending on the lens through which you view it. Morandi gives us many possible Milans in a single visit.

The beating heart of Northern Italy, Milan is a city of architecture and design, the worldwide capital of fashion. Vibrant and fast-moving, it is a place that is always at the forefront of trends, rapidly changing, always one step ahead. Yet it also has deep historical roots. In the Weekender Milan, Lorenzo Morandi captures these seeming contradictions in a slow journey through the city over a long weekend. Alert to its ongoing transformations in layers throughout the city, he shows you a vision of the city that is at once both timeless and a snapshot of a single moment. Move with him from fashion studio to heritage art gallery; from post-industrial eateries to the historic, open-air swimming pool of Bagni Misteriosi; following in these footsteps of change, transformation, motion, and background noise. Milan has many faces to explore, even in the course of a single weekend.
