Between distant lands and times, we are pleased to present Cleopatra & Antonio, a phygital event format that builds a bridge between cultures and heritages, both ancient and present. Halfway between Milan and Cairo, a hybrid narrative has taken shape that celebrates creativity by pushing the boundaries of imagination. 

If Cleopatra and Antonio were living today what would their lifestyle be like? What would the fusion of two extremely ancient and powerful cultures look like? An Italian-Egyptian team of communications, events, design, architecture and lifestyle professionals created the Milanese apartment where Cleopatra and Antonio live together with their children. Are you curious to discover the events and curiosities of this hypothetical situation?

During the days of Milan Design Week 2023 - April 17 to 30 - you are invited to Il Salotto di Milano to learn about spaces suspended between Italy and Egypt, places that serve as the backdrop for the modern reinterpretation of one of the most famous couples in ancient history. From cultural exploration to virtual interaction, innovations in design and living, Cleopatra and Antonio will take you through the rooms of their Milanese home, making you part of their contemporary lifestyle.
