After Rome and Florence, Ferragamo opens ‘Portrait Milano’ – Business
(ANSA) – MILAN, 01 DEC – A new hotel with 73 rooms and suites, three restaurants, a cocktail bar, shops, wellness spaces and, above all, a 2800 square meter square reopened and offered to the city. From 14 December, in Corso Venezia 11, Portrait Milano will be the third hotel of the Lungarno Collection, the hotel management company owned by the Ferragamo family. Former headquarters of the Archbishop’s Seminary of Milan, the Baroque palace, designed at the end of the 1500s and closed since 2002, will open again in its austere majesty, preserved and enhanced by the conservative renovation project signed by the architect Michele De Lucchi’s studio.
A place destined, thanks to the promenade that connects Corso Venezia 11 with Via Sant’Andrea 10, to be a place of culture, events, taste for those who live and visit the city. The one in Milan is the third space in the Portrait chain and joins the hotels in Florence and Rome.
Portrait hospitality directly manages the offer of bars and restaurants. The 10_11 (“Ten Eleven”) restaurant is already open to the public and offers traditional cuisine in its eclectic settings and bright veranda, a manifesto of great Italian hospitality for moments of sharing and conviviality. The young Piedmontese chef Alberto Quadrio is at the helm of the project, also at the helm of the gastronomic restaurant which will be inaugurated in February next year. 10_11 is also an Italian Bar that changes skin throughout the day. We pass from the relaxation space of the classic café, to become a temple of mixology and aperitifs thanks to the cocktails signed by Andrea Maugeri and Mattia Pastori.
“Together with my family – says Leonardo Ferragamo, president of Lungarno Collection – we are honored to have had the opportunity to add a new chapter to the long history of this extraordinary place. Today the former archiepiscopal seminary is reopened in Milan, to the Milanese and to the many city lovers who will finally be able to admire it in its architectural beauty, as well as live the experiences that they will be able to offer. Our Portraits were born with the strong desire to enhance the quality, history and values of the places in which they reside. In Milan this will also be possible thanks to the collaboration of partners chosen by us and strongly desired who will share values and visions with us and who we are sure will bring great quality and excellence to this project”.
