Rained In! We’re doing our blog and resting a while since we’re having quite a downpour. By late afternoon, it’s toned down to a drizzle, so we head to the corner to catch a tram. We’ve heard of a neighborhood called Brera, just past the Duomo. It’s historical and arty, and sounds like an Italian SoHo. There’s also an exhibition going on throughout the district called BrerArt, so we want to check it out.
The Brera neighborhood is nice, with a historic church, Fine Arts Academy and lots of shops and cafes. There is a performing arts theater with a Pomodoro sculpture in the front garden. It would be nice if we knew Italian so we could enjoy the shows. Even though it’s a grey day, we enjoy walking around to see the artwork that’s set up in stores and assorted available spaces. One kitchen design business gives the modern art some serious competition for your attention with their sleek and stylish home designs. The district isn’t as arty or gritty as we hoped, certainly not the “Montmartre of Milan” as advertised, but it’s a pleasure to visit.
