In northern Italy, a unique skyline is emerging that combines the aesthetics of history and tradition with the innovations of modernity. Milan reveals itself through Stefano Boeri's Vertical Forest and Rem Koolhaas' Fondazione Prada, along with Milan's imposing cathedral and the great dome of iron and glass of Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II. But the true essence of the metropolis lies hidden behind the facades of its landmark buildings. Whether it is the interior creations exhibited at the many design fairs or Leonardo da Vinci's masterpiece the Last Supper in Santa Maria delle Grazie, Milan needs a local guide to understand all its secrets and treasures. Author Massimo Nava and photographer Oberto Gili are at your service.

Milan's splendor is a reflection of its inhabitants: the designers, architects, artists and restaurateurs who bring their own style to the city. In Milan Chic, the reader is taken on an intimate tour of the homes of sought-after designers, the studios of talented artists and the headquarters of leading architects. This book illustrates the allure of this elegant industrial and cultural center.
