ESN Milano: Erasmus Student Network

Some of the BEST EVENTS & PARTY OF MILAN DESIGN WEEK 2011

Also this year Milan is ready for the most important appointment of the design: April 12 to 17 initiatives that will enliven all of Milan in a blend of Art-Design-Business-Music-Party!

Beyond the "classic" area of the fair, we suggest the Tortona and the Brera districts: the most exciting and full of events, openings, installations, exhibitions, debates and stimulating activities!

Milan Design Week is so full of events (only events are more than 4,000): we have selected for you the most relevant events and worthy of interest.
