District:
Isola
While the south and the central districts of Milan are no doubt the most grandiloquent and notable, its best kept secret is a district just north of Porta Garibaldi. Isola (Island) is a post-war neighbourhood where Milan’s factory workers used to reside. As the name suggests Isola is isolated from the city, cut off by railways tracks, until now.
The remoteness of the area lead to an influx of creatives, street artists and alternatives during the late 20th century and their influence here is still strong. The newly built Porta Nuova, made up of big brand shops and financial offices, next to Isola has lead to a gentle gentrification of the area; with art-deco apartments blocks being built and the buildings smartened up. That Isola is relatively unknown in Milan adds to its allure. Aloof and bohemian, it embraces the changes whilst still clinging to its working-class, avant-garde roots.
