From the modern skyline of BAM and Bosco Verticale, you'll move into the historic heart of Isola as you head towards the bustling Isola market. This vibrant hub has been a cornerstone of daily life for generations, offering an abundance of fresh produce, artisan cheeses and traditional Milanese delicacies. As you leave the market behind, your guide will regale you with tales of the neighbourhood's evolution - from a modest working-class district to one of Milan's most innovative and dynamic.
Your next stop is the Fonderia Napoleonica Eugenia, a remarkable testimony to Milan's industrial past. Once responsible for producing bronze bells and sculptures for some of Italy's most iconic landmarks, this historic foundry now functions as a cultural space and museum. Here you'll be immersed in a fascinating piece of history that beautifully juxtaposes the city's contemporary spirit with its rich heritage.
