Aside from Salone del Mobile, Fuorisalone is the event par excellence in Milan, or rather a set of events. The initiative as a whole provides an official guide to the event, being supported by the Milan City Council since 2003. Not much is known about its official program right now, however, you can count on a variety of exhibitions, special openings, DJ sets and cocktail parties as well as site-specific installations and projects. All of these are spread throughout Milan’s design districts which we will be talking about below.

The main highlights of Ventura District are definitely Ventura Future and Ventura Centrale, both of which introduce a unique set of furniture showcases. Milan’s Stazione Centrale will be the stage for a unique visual experience, featuring an eclectic mix of both emerging as well as established brands that, every year, grace this abandoned site.
Tortona Design District

Throughout the year Tortona is known for being an area defined by a varied set of displays within former warehouses and factories. This is an urban area with a “vibey” atmosphere that provides the area with a unique dynamic. Here you can also find SUPERSTUDIO, known as the pioneer of the Fuorisalone phenomenon in the district. Tortona is almost like an exposition of the latest design trends.
Il Duomo

Il Duomo is one of the most magnificent churches ever, an example of the Flamboyant Gothic style. It’s massive, colossal and, of course, extremely inspiring. If you have the chance, take a walk on the roof of the cathedral because that’s an unforgettable experience with mind-blowing views of the city.
Castelo Sforzesco

If you’re into luxury shops and elegant cafés, you’ll find Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II a lovely place to visit. Built between 1865 and 1877, designed by Giuseppe Mengoni, it’s a splendid example of the 19th Century’s architecture style. It’s like being in the setting of a movie… a luxurious one.
