Food and art–a tasty combination in the masterpieces of the Brera Art Gallery

In the heart of the neighborhood and within the Pinacoteca that is its symbol, many possible itineraries, to be packaged according to infinite keys of reading, entirely customizable. The tastiest? A guided tour to discover the rich dialogue between art and food in the masterpieces of the Pinacoteca di Brera, a mirror of past customs and traditions and proof of the representational and symbolic ability of the painters: from the Venetian dishes of Paolo Veronese’s Supper in the House of Simon the Pharisee to the “tactile” depiction of fruit and vegetables at km 0 in Vincenzo Campi‘s Fruttivendola; from the foods of the Jewish Passover in Caravaggio ‘s Supper at Emmaus to the fish of metaphysical memory in Carlo Carrà’s Enchanted Room.

A journey through ingredients and dishes of yesteryear, glimpsing the meanings hidden among the brushstrokes of the most tantalizing paintings in the Picture Gallery.

Pictorial excellence and culinary excellence

From the baskets of fruit and vegetables painted by Vincenzo Campi to the first fruits and vegetables at Eataly Milano Smeraldo market, the step is short. A walk from the heart of the Brera district leads to the edge of Porta Nuova, where, in the shadow of the skyscrapers of Piazza Gae Aulenti, Eataly Milano Smeraldo is the address we selected, among the regeneration projects of this futuristic area of Milan. Here, walking among the stalls of the store, it is possible to immerse oneself in colors, scents and flavors reminiscent of the old markets, to live anoriginal and engaging gastrocultural experience: the right place to discover the delicacies of Made in Italy, ataperitif time, continuing at the table the journey between art and taste that began in the halls of the Brera Art Gallery.
