Wordfull Wednesday: Incredible Edibles and Views in Milan!

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Napa Consultants DRE00893924

We marveled at the intricately accurate reproduction in chocolate artistry of designer shoes and handbags at the Rinascente Department Store in Milan. On this top floor you can find all types of Italian delicacies including summer truffles, which were in season.

It is well worth the visit to their top floor, as they have a terrace restaurant and a bar with this magnificent view of the Duomo.  It was a delight to sit there sipping our Pellegrino while enjoying this magnificent masterpiece on a beautiful sunny day!

 

Happy Wednesday to all!

That is so amazing Ron and Alexandra Seigel.  I have never seen chocolate artistry like that.  I love your rooftop lunch view.

So much creativity in the designs of the chocolate, and what a delight it must be in enjoying them too!

Both photos are amazing, as you say the chocolates are so intricate, the time and care taken to make them is amazing.

Kat Palmiotti there is no doubt that chocolate is an art form.   To make all those shoes and bags requires concentration and a knowledge of architecture to make sure that nothing falls over.  A

Joe Pryor if you are doing a tour (with a tour guide) be sure it includes a visit to La Scala, or better yet get a ticket for a performance.  It is not just an opera house, it is an amazing structure.  I would also recommend the Leornardo da Vinci museum...we can also recommend some great restaurants, if you would like that.  A

Hannah Williams the only sweets we eat are a square or two of 85% dark chocolate.  Otherwise, neither one of us is big on desserts, we prefer the cheese course than the sweet course.  A

Michael Jacobs we bought a couple of 85% chocolate bars, and that was it for our shopping.  We really enjoyed being on the terrace.  Since it was still morning some of the crowd was having breakfast.  A
