Art Party

A real opening, the very first event of the week that puts Milan at the center of the world. It takes place at 7 a.m. on Monday, April 20th, with the now traditional breakfast organized by Maurizio Cattelan and Nicolas Ballario together with Living - Corriere della Sera, in collaboration with the Museo del Novecento and the Municipality of Milan. Read carefully the three rules written on the poster, because this year you have a golden opportunity: some of the greatest designers have joined and will bring one of their iconic pieces. Who knows, you might manage to get your hands on one by bringing an object so unusual that it convinces them to trade it with you.
