Brera|z: New Quarterly Magazine Launched by Brera and Editoriale Domus

A new quarterly magazine, Brera|z, has been launched as a collaboration between the Pinacoteca di Brera and Editoriale Domus, the publishing house founded by Gio Ponti in 1928. The magazine is financed by Equita, an independent Italian investment bank. It aims to cover Brera's historical artistic heritage and future initiatives, positioning the institution as a vibrant cultural laboratory under director James Bradburne. The first issue features interviews with artists Liliana Moro and Gabriele Di Matteo, an essay on humanities education, a piece on the Botanical Garden, and a reflection on why Martians were born in Milan. It also includes gastronomic recommendations from Il Cucchiaio D'Argento, another publication under the same group. Available in newsstands and bookstores, each text is translated into English for an international audience. Bradburne stated that his goal has been to put Brera back at the center of Milan, making it a second home for citizens. The magazine seeks to strengthen connections between Brera and the broader territory, fostering civic identity and values of tolerance and openness.
