ante stores for many passions
A new guided tour for those nostalgic for the Old Milan. There are places in Milan where time, surprisingly, seems to stand still. Stores and workshops filled with one-of-a-kind objects, sometimes more like real galleries of art and treasures, displaying, often on original furniture shelves, their products, of the most varied species, witnesses of distant eras and traditions. Milan’s historic stores, fascinating and unique, take us back to our city’s past and preserve the history of passionate craftsmanship, often handed down for centuries within the same family and carried out, even today, with unchanging love.
The historic stores in the city center
In this unique and refined guided tour, we will stroll from store to store, discovering some of the most prestigious stores in the historic center of Milan: each time we will be able to discover new ones, selecting the most interesting. We start the itinerary from the streets surrounding the Ca’ Granda: our guides tell the anecdotes related to the city streets and monuments we observe around us, recovering the stories of ancient Milanese traditions. But here we are, attracted by signs of yesteryear, entering another store: we admire with wonder-filled eyes rare clocks, cuckoo clocks and music boxes, pipes and old nativity scenes, sweets and delicacies, objects and fine fabrics… When they are not too busy behind their counters, the word goes to the owners, repositories of the art of savoir-faire and ready to convey to us all the emotion and authenticity of their profession!
