TALES IN MILAN

VICOLO LAVANDAI
MICHELE DEL RE, IL SEGRETO DEL GIARDINO DEL SOGNO


Rebirth means meeting new people and learning new things. A lovely find, a hidden corner that you want to keep to yourself, a place where the magic of the past creates a poetic atmosphere. With these thoughts in mind we found, in a ravine of the waterway, Vicolo Lavandai, where there was and still is intact a centrifuge - until the 50s women came here to wash clothes and linens. With the joy of having found a spot of calm we are peacefully lulled by the sound of the water - in Milanese it’s called el fossett. We are very close to the center of Milan but the water and the tranquility around make us forget the noise and speed of the city. Next to the water stream– in the 1800 here there were men taking care of the cleaning - there was a small shop of soaps and brushes, now a charming bistro. A renaissance minute in our afternoon, reassuring everyday gestures that accompany us to the rediscovery of an intimate contemplative pleasure. How to light a scented candle to create a special atmosphere.
