Here areWhere’s suggestionsfor an unforgettableValentine’s DayMost Italians do not consider Milan the mostromantic city in the country; it is the financial capital,where people live and, above all, work.

He hasalso spent a significantpart of his life inMassachusetts.While he sees the island of Minorca (in Spain, just an hour’s flight from Milan) as his buen retiro,he considers Milan his Home. He loves Milan for its multi-faceted, multi-cultural aspects thathe reflects in his artworks, which are imbued with creative genius and a love of light, color andalmost childish candor, that give his viewers a feeling of joy and pleasure. We asked him todesign this month’s cover of Where Milan.Here is a quick introduction to Pietro’s places of the heart between the centre and theTicinese district, piazza Vetra and the Navigli, the romantic side of the city.> “Panzerotti”, a fluffy fried type of ravioli stuffed with delicious tomato and mozzarella,from Luini (via Santa Radegonda, 16.

Exploring Milan and surrounding areasThe “Navigli”,a Waterway to the SeaA “NOT-TO-BE-MISSED “STOPOVER. Are you lookingfor a unique way of discovering Milan? Then take alook at it from the water. Although there is no sea inMilan, between 1179 and the Napoleonic era, it boastedhundreds of kilometres of Navigli or canals (most ofthem were built by Leonardo da Vinci) connecting it toLake Maggiore, Lake Como, the Ticino river and, finally,through the river Po, to the sea. Today, the only traces ofthat enormous network of waterways are the NaviglioGrande, the Paderno Canal, the Bereguardo Canal, thePavia Canal, and the Martesana Canal. The Darsena(Docks) is one of the most picturesque districts in Milanand its basin is one of the few remaining evidence ofthe vast system of canals and waterways in Milan. Takinga walk or bicycling along the Navigli is a truly enjoyableexperience. Conversely, another option is to immerseyourselves in the old-world atmosphere of times goneby taking a boat trip on the Navigli.REMNANTS OF HISTORYThe Navigli were highly strategic and used to irrigatethe fields, for trade and to transport the enormousmarble blocks required to build the Duomo. In 1482,Leonardo da Vinci was commissioned by the Duke ofMilan to solve the problem of the differences in levelwhich he did by devising a system of sluices that canstill be seen today. His sketches for the project are preservedin the Museo dei Navigli (Brera, via San Marco40. Map F2). Several of them can also be seen in hisfamous Codex Atlanticus (Biblioteca Ambrosiana, seeThe Guide – Museums & Attractions). The Navigli werecompleted centuries later by Napoleon, only to fall intodisuse when the train system took over.Lombardy waterways (XV-XVIII century)20 WHERE CITY NAME I FEBRUARY 2011

Living the “Navigli” DistrictVENUES AND EVENTS. The Navigli districtis one of the most vibrant in the city boastingrestaurants, wine-bars, and live music butalso painters’ studios and a slew of interestingshops. You can start your exploration from PortaTicinese, a highly original “quartier” alternating“banister houses” and artisan workshops withtrendy addresses. Beyond piazza VentiquattroMaggio, the Naviglio Grande, the oldestnavigable canal in the world, begins its outwardjourney to the countryside. The approximately10 kilometres that separate the Darsena (MapD7) from the town of Gaggiano offer statelypalazzi, small towns such as Abbiategrasso(a charming “slow city” ), wrought iron bridges,fishing boats, and churches from a number ofdifferent periods. Their orange, yellow, and redfacades are reflected in the water.Genova underground station (Map C7). Festivals andopen-air markets are often held in the Navigli area.Ask your hotel for updates.JAZZING IT UP. Along the Navigli you can findnumerous characteristic night spots, that havealways been synonymous with Milanese night lifeand good music: the most famous is Le Scimmie(see The Guide p.52).BIKING EXPERIENCE. The Naviglio dellaMartesana is a fabulous biking experience(starting from the area near M2 Gioia, MapG1).
