Yes! The day after the wedding, we will host an apertivo at Panino Geb located at V. Genova Thaon di Revel, 20159 . Please see the schedule/programming page for more details.
We will be curating hotel recommendations on our Travel page, all conveniently located within walking distance of the wedding church and well-connected to Milan's public transit. The city center (Duomo) is just a 30-minute train ride away. For those seeking alternative accommodations, we suggest exploring the areas around Porta Venezia and Giardini Pubblici—the heart of Milan's shopping district—as well as Isola, a vibrant former working-class neighborhood now known for its trendy bars and restaurants. The Porta Nuova area is also an excellent choice. We advise against staying in Navigli or south Milan, as these locations are far from the venue and may create transportation challenges on our wedding day.
As lawyers love to say..it depends... Milan in May is typically low 70s F/20C and dry.
Transportation from the church to the venue will be provided! The venue is approximately 25 minutes from the church.
Milan is well connected via mass transit; the subway (metrò) is the best way to move around the city. Payment is done via tapping, like OMNY in NYC. Uber is also available. To go to and from the international airport of Milano Malpensa you can either take an uber or yellow cab or the Malpensa Express Train which connects Malpensa to the train stations of Cadorna e Centrale. Milano Centrale is at walking distance to our suggestion of hotels you can find under Travel.
Italy can be very parochial when it comes to food. So bear this in mind ... this is the blurb I (Luca) share with friends who visit Milan: If a trattoria offers risotto, or polenta, or tagliata, or mondeghili, or osso buco, that's a good sign because these are Northern/Milanese dishes. Pasta and pizza are southern dishes. Be sure to get a spritz or a negroni at the Campari in piazza Duomo (facing the galleria, Duomo on your right, it's the bar on the left corner); that's what my father and I always do when I'm in town ;) Speaking of my father, I asked him and he sent the following list: * Antica Osteria del Progresso - via del Progresso 22 * La Villetta - viale Zara 87 * Mercato Centrale (Stazione Centrale) * Amarcord - viale Abruzzi 83 * Al Casottel - via Fabio Massimo 25 >> I love this restaurant; it's traditional Milanese: osso buco and risotto giallo, or cotoletta impanata, or cassoeula (though this is a winter dish)
For those looking for travel recommendations outside of Milan, Luca's suggestion is to choose a region and visit there extensively, versus trying to see everything and spending half of the vacation on trains / buses. Below are a few options: [Lombardy] Lake Como is well known and very touristy especially Bellagio; I would recommend visiting Varenna by train and taking the ferry to visit the islands and the villas, e.g., isola Comacina and villa Carlotta are beautiful. Or you can go to the north-east and visit Lago di Garda and Parco dello Stelvio; or north-west and visit Lago Maggiore and the beautiful islands (isole Borromeo). [Tuscany/Liguria] If instead you just need to see Florence, my suggestion is to rent a car and visit the Tuscan countryside, from Florence add Pisa, Lucca, Volterra, and San Gimignano. Also you may consider driving to La Spezia (one of my favorite cities) and then taking the ferry to Porto Venere, a beautifully charming small fishing village with a Romanesque church on the cliff facing the sea. [Veneto] Venice is always a joy to visit and the weather in May should be perfect. You can stay in Mestre which should be cheaper than staying in Venice proper and then take a short train ride into Venice. In Venice you can easily travel by foot and by ferry (vaporetto, Venetian mass transit system). In Venice, aside from Piazza San Marco, you should visit Accademia, Guggenheim Museum, and Burano. I would also strongly recommend having lunch or dinner at Hostaria all'Ombra. From Venice, one should not miss visiting Padua and Giotto's cappella Scrovegni as well as Verona. [Umbria] Further South on the boot, Umbria is a small treasure. A beautiful region enclosed between Lazio and le Marche, it's known for its natural beauty and the UNESCO World Heritage sites Assisi and Gubbio. The Basilica of Saint Francis of Assisi is an artistic jewel with frescoes by Giotto and Cimabue.
