|
Brera, ancient district of Milano, full of history, art, culture, has always been the beloved area of artists, who met at small bars, later called "caffe letterari" (literature coffees); still today they are frequented by "milanesi" and tourists coming here on purpose. |
|
This district still preserves the narrow streets paved with old cobblestones which create a sort of passage that, in former times, was reserved for horse-drawn carriages. |
||||
| The whole district boasts many historical buildings and important monuments, among them the "Pinacoteca di Brera", which today hosts the Accademia di Belle Arti (Arts Academy), and the church Santa Maria del Carmine in the picturesque square of the same name. |
 |
But Brera doesn't mean only "tradition", today it means also exclusive shopping, small peculiar stores, fascinating with their "real, very milanese" style, old shops full of curiosities and vintage, unforgettable bars and restaurants. | ||||
|
Everything can be found in Brera, and especially all that this city has to offer. Brera is unique and unequalled, it will win the visitor's heart. Since a year approximately 100 traders of zone have founded the "Brera" Traders' Association. In collaboration with private and public Institutions, this Association promotes and organizes several cultural, artistic and commercial initiatives, often beneficial in order that the magical atmosphere, characteristic of this splendid quarter, remains intact in the time. |
