CAFFE CONCERTO FULL

In conjunction with the MDW 2019, anyone who passes by Cucchi will be catapulted in the 1930s, and time machines have nothing to do with it.įrom April 3 to 29, the doors of Cucchi opened on that pre-war period which we have perhaps only heard from grandparents, full of charm and charm. Continuing on the way of revisiting the Milanese places, this year the designer engages in a project that pays homage to the past, placing it in the present. The name of Cristina Celestino is not new to the Milanese: she took care of the preparation of the iconic Corallo tram, the itinerant living room, the center of the Fuorisalone 2018. But without ever forgetting his origins: that’s why in the Milanese month of design, Cucchi wears his best 30s suit, and returns to being a Caffè Concerto. Soon rebuilt, it assumed the role with which we know and love it today. Then came the war and among the damages that interested Milan, there was also the destruction of this local historian in 1943. Luigi Cucchi and his wife Vittorina chose the space of Corso Genova to start their activity in 1936: what today is a pastry shop with a timeless charm, presented itself as a very popular concert café. That’s exactly how Pasticceria Cucchi was born, the address we now associate with the best breakfast and the traditional panettone. The chantant coffee was born in Paris, but Milan gives its interpretation. The comparsita or the tango were danced, imported dances, and – between cha cha cha and the other – pasta or rice was served, to refresh the dancers. In the 30s, instead, the dancing evenings took place in the Caffè Concerto, enlivened by small orchestras and dances until late at night. Those looking for night-time entertainment, today, have a wide choice of clubs and discos. Per leggere l’articolo in italiano, clicca qui.
