A special memory: Brera and my sister
My sister T. started a blog where he shared his experiences in Milan, a city that, at first, seemed to me only one more among the many beautiful Italian cities. Over time, I have come to appreciate its uniqueness and charm.
The transformation of perspective
The first time I visited Milan, I saw it as a conglomerate of places and galleries, with the typical offer of Italy. However, my vision changed radically. Today, Milan occupies a special place in my heart, a reflection of my evolution as a traveler.
T.’s journey and the world of footwear
My sister traveled to Milan for work reasons, where she perfected her Italian to improve her negotiations in the footwear sector. Thanks to his skills, he managed to establish prestigious brands for the family business, which is still active.
Exploring Brera
The Brera district became its refuge. There, the Pinacoteca and the Academy of Arts captivated it with its rich artistic offer. Her passion for art led her to discover every corner of this emblematic neighborhood.
Art and History: The connection with futurism
For me, Milan is the city where Futurism was born, an artistic movement that marked an age. In this context, the Savini restaurant witnesses the creation of the futurist manifesto, signed by Filippo Tomaso Marinetti, a key moment in the history of art.
The modern collections
Milan is known not only for its Pinacoteca Brera, but also for its modern art collections, such as those of the Novcento Museum. Emblematic works, such as ‘Il Quarto Stato’, illustrate the cultural richness of the city.
Parallel between cultures
The connections between the Italian Novcento and Catalan Noucentisme are fascinating. Artists such as Joaquim Sunyer contributed to this cultural interaction, and his work is a reflection of the mutual influence between these two traditions.
A promising future
My research on the connections between Milan and Catalonia will continue. Each trip allows me to discover new facets of this relationship, while I evoke memories of my sister T. On his balcony in Brera, a space that symbolizes our connection.
Final reflections
The people we love remain with us, especially when we share experiences and landscapes. Milan, with his cultural richness and his unique charm, will always remind me of my dear sister and the conversations we had about her travels.
