An unforgettable Milan experience is being offered by a delightful and delicate exhibition curated by Martina Mondadori Sartogo for Airbnb in Casa degli Atellani. #MDW2017

The 15th-century Casa degli Atellani is one of the city’s oldest and most captivating private residences where – just to be clear – Leonardo da Vinci stayed while painting The Last Supper. It is the outstanding setting for an exhibition curated by Martina Mondadori Sartogo and organised by Airbnb. “We wanted to make the MDW public feel at home while also offering them an experience of Milan”, explains the curator.

“In recent years, I have seen that MDW was losing its quintessentially local feel”, explains Martina Mondadori, “for the exhibition, I invited a number of designers, some well-known, others up and coming, to exhibit and mix their personal collections with the pieces in the home. I asked them to show objects that have somehow inspired them.”

It is a full-on experience from the entrance, with a cabinet of curiosities by Dimore Studio in the first room mixing with the home’s ancient books and a long table set up by Formafantasma on the first floor with the objects that have, in many different ways, been sources of inspiration for their work, surrounded in turn by the many valuables conserved in the mansion. Also on the list are Faye Toogood, Roberto Bacciocchi, Sam Baron and Matteo Thun.

The experience of Milan will be made even more memorable by a number of walks, all close to the mansion and guided by some of the designers on show.
