CORE: Milano, exclusive membership club opening in San Babila by 2020

CORE: Milano, an exclusive membership club founded by Jennie and Dangene Enterprise, will open by 2020 in a 4,000-square-meter palazzo in San Babila, Milan. The club, which has operated in New York for 19 years, targets 'game changers' across 13 categories including fashion, media, technology, design, art, architecture, finance, and more. Membership is by invitation only, with a fee structure varying by membership type (in New York, the fee is $50,000). The Milan club will feature terraces, a secret garden with rotating chefs and mixologists, a reading room with international art and design publications, a theater for performances and talks, meeting rooms, and suites. Italian entrepreneur Federico Pellicioli is the local partner. The founders chose Milan for its creative spirit, citing its recognition as Wallpaper Magazine's City of the Year 2019 and the success of Fondazione Prada and Pirelli Hangar Bicocca exhibitions at the Global Fine Art Awards. Triennale Milano president Stefano Boeri recently presented at CORE: Club New York about Milan's innovative developments. Membership is capped at 600, with a balanced gender ratio and international composition (10% from outside Europe). The club aims to contribute to a 'Milanese Renaissance' by uniting creatives, artists, and lively minds.
