About the Work

Northern Italy boasts a skyline that blends the beauty of history and tradition with modern innovation. From Stefano Boeri's Vertical Forest and Rem Koolhaas's Fondazione Prada to the Milan Cathedral and Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, Milan's distinct character is defined by its architecture. But the true essence of the city lies beyond its striking facades. From interior-design showcases at local fairs to the Last Supper by Leonardo da Vinci in Santa Maria delle Grazie, Milan's secrets and treasures require a knowledgeable guide. Author Massimo Nava and photographer Oberto Gili offer just that in Milan Chic.

This book highlights the city's elegance and culture, embodied in its designers, architects, artists, and restaurateurs. Through intimate tours of the homes of sought-after designers, the studios of gifted artists, and the headquarters of prominent architects, readers can appreciate Milan's allure and style.

About the Author

Massimo Nava, born in Milan, started his career in journalism as a member of the editorial staff of Avvenire at the age of nineteen. After earning a degree in literature and philosophy from the University of Milan, he worked for Corriere della Sera, Italy’s leading national daily newspaper, covering several noteworthy conflicts around the world and serving as a correspondent in Paris. Nava has authored several nonfiction books and novels and is currently a columnist for Corriere della Sera.

Oberto Gili discovered his passion for photography at an early age, inspired by Michelangelo Antonioni's film Blow-Up. He moved to London in the early 1970s to work as an assistant to photographer Michael Joseph before relocating to Milan to work for publisher L’Esperto. Gili has since traveled the world taking pictures for publications such as Condé Nast, New York Magazine, and The Washington Post Magazine.
