Milan isn’t Italian design’s only hot spot. You’ll also find it on the sunny banks of Lake Como (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s easy to assume that Italy’s design world is made up of Milan – and Milan alone. The city is home to the likes of Dimore Studio, as well as shiny showrooms for big-hitter brands from Cassina to B&B Italia. It’s also where the buzz around Salone del Mobile (and its accompanying Milan Design Week) seems to dwarf everything else. I know because I’ve spent years reporting on it. But breaking out of the must-visit itineraries and the trade-show circuit can be a good thing, as proved by a visit to
What lies beneath sea-loving Italians’ deep suspicion of lakes? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Summer in Italy unfurled in the usual fashion. People decamped en masse to the finest beaches across the land. In regions from Liguria to Puglia, they filled the pockets of those in the beach-concession racket in return for a chance to bronze on a lounger under an umbrella, perhaps with the week’s edition of crossword magazine La Settimana Enigmistica in hand. A spritz of some sort will have no doubt played a part too. The beach holiday is an Italian ritual and residents of this country have no
Merano’s Aurora hotel eschews mountain tropes for metropolitan design (opens the original)
Read excerpt
South Tyrol is known for its tasteful, understated hotels that feature plenty of natural wood and muted colours. There seems to be an agreed-to aesthetic that plays up the surrounding mountain scenery and plays down taking too many design risks. The Aurora on Merano’s Passer Promenade has torn up the memo with a round of refurbishment work that wouldn’t be out of place in London, Los Angeles or Paris. Owned by the same family for more than 60 years, the Northern Italian hotel was best known for
Live to work or work to live? New York’s hustle culture is a world away from Milan’s slower pace (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This year I spent part of my summer in New York. It’s a place that’s close to my heart: I lived and worked here for six years as Monocle’s US editor, watching the country lurch from Barack Obama’s final months to Donald Trump’s first term. When I returned there for the first time in a while from my new home in Milan, the contrast was stark. At the time, the Lombard capital was beginning to shut up shop for the season; residents were heading to Sardinia or Liguria, or perhaps the mountains of Val
Good on paper: How ‘La Settimana Enigmistica’ became Italy’s iconic puzzle staple (opens the original)
Read excerpt
One thing is certain this summer: hundreds of thousands of people in Italy will be finding a shady spot in which to leaf through the pages of La Settimana Enigmistica, pencil at the ready. Loosely translated as “The Week of Puzzles”, the magazine has been publishing weekly since 1932, minus two short interludes during the Second World War. Hitting shelves every week, it features crosswords, jokes, cartoons, spot-the-difference puzzles and rebuses – a game involving finding a phrase or word from
