NoLo: Milan's Emerging District of Art, Food, and Culture

NoLo, the Milanese district north of Loreto, has become a vibrant hub for contemporary art, food, and culture. Key spots include a print shop for artists specializing in calcography and digital prints, located at Via Cavalcanti 8. The Beltrade cinema at Via Oxilia 10 offers 10 films for €50, with morning, afternoon, and evening screenings, plus concerts and director meetings. Casa Lavezzari (1934) by Pietro Lingeri and Giuseppe Terragni at Piazza Morbegno 3 is a modernist building inserted among Liberty-style palazzine. Bici e Radici at Via d'Apulia 2 is a bike shop and garden center offering courses. The Mercato Comunale at Viale Monza 54, Milan's oldest covered market (late 19th-early 20th century), now serves cooked fish. Fanta Spazio at Via Merano 21, founded by Alessio Baldissera, Gloria de Risi, and Alberto Zenere, opened over a year ago in a former workshop and is open Saturday and Sunday afternoons. Manna at Piazzale Governo Vecchio 6, with chef Matteo Fronduti, offers dishes like 'Uè, testina!' (veal head) and 'Riassunto di cassoela'. Gioconda Radio, founded in 2015 by Matteo Bertini and Carlos Red Rosefields, is a web radio based in NoLo that discovers unconventional music and has a 'Please buy us a coffee!' campaign for $1 donations.
