If you are going to see the Christo new art installation FLOATING PIERS
at Lake D’Iseo , Italy….you better be prepared.
Is going to be VERY crowded. Cars are not allowed, so you have to find alternative ways to reach Sulzano, where is the departure. Here how to get there
Here a 5 stars way to organize your visit and to spend (very appropriate word, considering the very high budget you need for Hotes) your FLOATING PIERS EXPERIENCE.
Since You ‘ll be the area I strongly suggests to visit the legendary Berlucchi Cellar , the vinery and Palazzo Lana
Berlucchi is definetely the Italian champagne ( or even better than the french!)
They have 4 different limited people tours from Euro 15.00 up . The tours include a wine tasting and the local food tasting. Reservation a must.
Here info http://www.berlucchi.it/en/special-events/
Here the itinerary I suggest
Train to Brescia (from Milan is about 1 hour)
If you have suitcases get off in Brescia ( which is also e beautiful town) and check in at beautiful Hotel Vittoria
If you don’t have suitcases get off in Brescia and get a local train (same station, usually 10 minutes waiting time) ) from Brescia to Borgonaro (20 minutes and a very nice panorama view) get off at Bordonaro and walk (10 minutes) to Palazzo Lana for your visit Berlucchi experience.
So, You will have a glimpse of the land of Franciacorta ( famous for its wines)
After the Berlucchi experience, get train to Sulzano,, walk to the Piers. (is a short way and train is the best way to get there, no car will be allowed)
Enjoy the Piers , then get the train back to Brescia and then to your prior location.
Another sleeping possibility would be L’ Albareta Relais&Chateaux, venue with restaurant of Gualtiero Marchesi , without doubt the most famous and most recognized Chef in Italy.
It ‘s a dream location, the trip will be a little more complicated. because you have to arrange with a car to get there and then to get to the Piers. To enjoy Christo new creation, no tickets will be necessary to see, enter and enjoy its art. The project will be completely free of charge.
The legendary Piccolo Teatro Strehler of Milano hosts a new production of
The story (that Michieletto starts from the end) tells about Mackie Messer, notorious criminal (Marco Foschi) who marries Polly Peachum (Maria Roveran) without the permission of Peachum, the girl’s father, (Peppe Servillo) the one who controls all the London’s beggars, here turned into migrants in orange life jackets and suggesting a mass drowning tragedy.
Eventually Mackie manages to get a conviction but shortly before the execution, a Queen’s Messenger grace the accused and awarded him the title of baronet. I love to mention the amazing staging of Jenny’s song sung by the incomparable Almodovar’s muse
A great ensemble of young actors not to mention the perfect harmony between sounds and visual, thanks to the Sets by Paolo Fantin, costumes by Carla Teti, lighting by Alessandro Carletti, choreography by Chiara Vecchi and the Orchestra Sinfonica of Milano Giuseppe Verdi conducted by Giuseppe Grazioli.
At Piccolo Teatro of Milano till June 11.
“My mind needs precise timing to channel the emotions 
“” my muse is nature. 
I loved the La Locanda del Notaio by Edoardo Fumagalli, Christian&Manuel Costardi with an unusual combination of squid, potato and kafa coffee powder. I adored the quite mediterranean Felice Lo Russo’black crèpe with haddock. Just superb…
I wasn’t sure about Tano Simonato’s, saffron gnocchetti that, to my opinion, were a little bit undercooked and kinda hard to bite. Unfortunately all menus are in italian and the lines to get your dish are sooo ‘italianstyle’ pretty messy. Prices are reduced as the quantity on your paper plate, so be ready to spend around € 40 to taste few specialties and some wine, plus the entrance fee.
