The artwork
Designed by Milanese artist Aronne Nembrini, this artwork captures the vibrant essence of Milan, blending its iconic landmarks and daily life. The Duomo di Milano, Arco della Pace, and Navigli canals stand at the heart of the composition, showcasing the city's rich heritage.
Details bring Milan’s rhythm to life—a cyclist in motion, a bustling pasticceria, and the city’s signature trams and Metro signs. Overlooking the scene, the equestrian statue of Vittorio Emanuele II pays tribute to the city’s history, while a watchful black cat perches above the lively streets.
With its bold, dynamic style, this piece reflects Milan’s energy—where history, movement, and culture come together in every street.
