Local quality food products and everything you need for your home. Monica and Paolo are waiting to serve you with sympathy and kindness . FRESH BREAD EVERY DAY.

Part of the magic of renting a holiday house are certainly the home cooked meals. This makes the local grocery store to THE partner in crime. Paolo and Monica certainly went above and beyond, if they didn’t have what we were looking for, they’d get it for us, tips for the perfect ragu included. It wouldn’t be far fetched to call their micromercato the heart of Moltrasio. They welcomed us with open arms, were more helpful than you could wish for and made this charming little town feel a little bit like home. Grazie!

For sheer belle époque splendor, this extravagant 19th-century glass-topped, barrel-vaulted tunnel serves as a lively, noisy and colorful shopping mall, teeming with life and inviting you to people-watching from the tables that spill from the Galleria's many bars and restaurants.

Our stay began at a great B & B one block from the most beautiful outdoor shopping plaza in the world. Just a short walk from our B & B we came upon the stunning Vittorio Emanuele II magnificent shopping center of classical architecture lined with boutique restaurants and designer shops, including the 4 story Louis Vuitton glorious masterpiece. I design shopping centers and other urban design uses and none can come close to the perfection of this space. At the axis of the two colonnades is a glass dome that at Christmas time features a perfect tree and lights on the top of the dome, mesmerizing all who simply stood and stared at the lights above. This place is a cant miss on a trip to Milan with spectacular elegance.
7. Accademia Carrara

4.5 based on 640 reviews
The picture gallery of the Accademia Carrara, founded in 1796 by Giacomo Carrara, is considered to be the fruit of Italian collecting and one of the finest European art museum. Over six hundred artworks are on display in the museum, arranged in 28 rooms over two floors. They include masterpieces by Pisanello, Mantegna, Bellini, Botticelli, Raphael, Titian, Lotto, Moroni and other leading Italian painters, offering a journey through five centuries of Italian art history, from the beginning of the fifteenth to the end of the nineteenth century.

The Pinacoteca Accademia Carrara contains an astonishing collection of paintings from the 14th to the 18th centuries, among the important in Italy, and includes masterpieces from Mantegna, Bellini, Raffaello, and Canaletto. Some of the more modern works reflect the macchiaioli, such as those of Giuseppe Pillizza da Volpeda. The Accademia has almost 1,800 paintings in all, plus 134 sculptures, almost 3,000 drawings, 7,500 prints, and about 1,200 coins and medals from ancient Greece to the 18th century. They are housed in a handsome 18th century edifice built as an art school with a pinacoteca (museum) on the upper floor. When the latter grew too big, the school moved out and the whole building became a museum. It was thoughtfully renovated some years ago and re-opened in 2015 as a well-organized, well-lit, well-maintained museum, with collections arranged chronologically and divided by schools of art. Too bad for the museum that almost nobody comes, but that works to the great advantage of art lovers who do.

Good parking. Little coffee shop. Larger restaurant (which we didn't try). Small shop. We saw the temporary Sean Scully exhibition which was thoroughly enjoyable with lots of space in which to display the a huge collection of work. Enjoyed some of rest of collection too. Views onto garden were lovely. Unfortunately raining so unable to enjoy the outside space which looked really special. Worth the visit.
