Milan's Zona Monti: New Cultural District Launches with Gallery Alliance
In response to the economic slump and a drop in city residents, art spaces in Milan have come together to create Zona Monti, a vibrant cultural area on Via Vincenzo Monti, stretching from Arco della Pace to Cadorna. This initiative includes several notable galleries like Federico Luger, Officine Saffi, and Galleria Tonelli, among others. The grand opening is scheduled for September 30, 2020, featuring coordinated events from noon to 10 PM. Visitors can enjoy architectural tours called "Maestri milanesi tra anni Venti e Dopoguerra," hosted by Maria Vittoria Capitanucci and Marco De Michelis, along with exhibitions at each venue. The goal is to enhance the cultural scene through collaboration with various galleries and foundations.
