La Chiesa Rossa (Italian Edition)

Cattedrali d’Arte Dan Flavin per Santa Maria in Chiesa Rossa

---

Beyond the historical Duomo, beyond the boho-chic Brera, the southern district of Chiesa Rossa - ensconced between Porta Ticinese, Porta Genova, the canals and the art deco former central electric on Via Giovanni da Cermenate — was once home to factory workers, but is now where young designers dream up the shapes of the future.

Our guide was born and bred in Chiesa Rossa - film director and photographer Marina Spada, former assistant to actor, comedian, screenwriter and director Roberto Benigni , who garnered international awards for Come l'Ombra, her film which takes place over a summer in Milan. Twenty-six years ago, Italian fashion photographer Fabrizio Ferri and fashion editor Flavio Lucchini decided to convert the disused factories and warehouses off the Via Tortona into a place to train aspiring fashion photographers.

During the 90s, Ferri and Lucchini opened 19 studios.

Today, SuperStudio offers some of the best fashion photographic studios and sets in the world. SuperStudio organises fashion and design events, art shows and concerts all year long. Opened only five years ago in a disused tramway warehouse, this international centre for photography is the first of its kind in Milan to offer a print lab, an exhibition space, a school, a bookshop and a restaurant.

This year-old gate house where visitors had to pay to enter the city now offers drinks and all-night music at weekends. It's spread over three levels, and has a grotto-esque feel thanks to its candle-lit bar and its many little salons all connected to each other through little corridors.

It also has a terrace for daytime coffee. Le Trottoir organises cultural events throughout the year. Designed by Leonardo da Vinci then redesigned by Mussolini's architects in the s, they offer an exquisite respite from the frantic pace of Milanese life. Also, every year, since the s, 11 teams compete on racing boats to win the Leonardo Trophy 8 and 9 May.

The walls of this compact antiquated shop are covered with wooden and glass cabinets displaying hundreds of rows of ice-cream cones turned upside down. Located right at the angle with Via Gorizia, and facing Naviglio Grande, it has a wooden bench outside with a view on to the canal.

Milan's answer to Tate Modern is located in a former turbine hall. The Fondazione welcomes guest curators and cross-disciplinary arts and there are exhibitions all year round, as well as events and concerts.
