Lost in Milan is a pocket guide to one of Europe's most creatively charged cities, shaped by recommendations from the local artists, designers, and dreamers who actually live there — not generic tourist itineraries.
About This Book
Milan resists easy categorisation. It is a city where Gothic architecture meets futurist urbanism, where Renaissance masterworks hang within streets that saw some of the earliest waves of modern street art. This guide navigates those contradictions with a sharp curatorial eye, gathering insider perspectives from the city's creative community to produce something more useful than a conventional travel guide. For architects and designers visiting the city — whether for Salone del Mobile or personal research — Lost in Milan cuts through the noise and points toward what genuinely warrants attention in Italy's design capital.
