Our first American students have officially arrived in Milan! A sweet and kind group of three girls. Despite the long journey, they were full of energy and joined us at the Glam Hotel. We kicked things off with a fabulous breakfast at Pandenus Gas Aulenti in Brera, one of the most iconic spots in the city. They savored their first cappuccino paired with chocolate and jam croissants, all while soaking in the vibes of some classic Italian tunes. Post-breakfast, the adventure continued as center director Stephan led us on a stroll through the Isola district. This neighborhood is a vibrant mix of young creatives and alternative families, brimming with trendy bars, cozy cafes, bustling markets, and cultural hotspots. It's a place where new trends are born, and you can truly feel the pulse of the city's transformation under the towering Vertical Forest. We wrapped up our tour by discovering colorful murals adorning the houses and snapping some photos in the lush botanical garden inside the “Library of Trees”. What a perfect start to our Milanese journey!
