Galleria Cardi and Pellico3 Collaborate on Art-Infused Dining Experience

Galleria Cardi has partnered with Pellico3, the restaurant at Park Hyatt Milano, to create an immersive dining experience that pairs contemporary art with cuisine. The collaboration features works by Claudio Verna, Turi Simeti, and Tancredi Parmeggiani, all from Galleria Cardi, displayed in the restaurant redesigned by architect Flaviano Caprotti. Chef Guido Paternollo, a former engineer who trained under Michelin-starred chef Enrico Bartolini and specialized in France, now leads Pellico3 with a Mediterranean-inspired menu. The pairing draws parallels between Paternollo's 'cucina cucinata'—focusing on fire, technique, and raw ingredients—and Verna's 'Pittura Analitica' (also known as 'Pittura Pittura'), which emphasizes essential elements of canvas, color, gesture, and surface. Specific dishes are matched with artworks: ravioli di Parmigiano Reggiano 18 mesi with Verna's 'Oro Antico', scampo poché and Irish coffee of champignon with Simeti's 'Nove Ovali', and a strawberry dessert with Parmeggiani's 'Senza Titolo'. The collaboration, ongoing since last year, aims to create a 'gusto estetico' experience blending art and gastronomy.
