In the ancient island of Ortigia, among white stones and alleys scented with the sea, crossing the threshold of La Foglia doesn’t simply mean entering a restaurant, but being welcomed into the magic of an artist’s residence from another era, guardian of a centuries-old history.
La Foglia was born in 1982 from an encounter reminiscent of great cinematic love stories. Giuseppe “Beppe” Pravato, a Venetian sculptor and tireless traveler, arrived in Sicily after a long stint in India. He fell in love with Ortigia, when it was still a nearly abandoned yet beautiful neighborhood, and there he met Nicoletta, the woman who would become his lifelong companion and visionary.
Together, they decided to open a place that didn’t exist before: one of the first vegetarian and Mediterranean cuisine on the island, inspired by their philosophy of life, simplicity, nature, and the beauty of authentic things.
La Foglia was born this way: as an act of love, as an artistic gesture.

The oldest restaurant in Milan run by the same family for 87 years, Antica Osteria Cavallini has been revived with refined 1930s charm and a splendid garden open year-round.
As soon as you arrive, the original dark wood facade and the rounded sign already suggest that an important story is hidden behind the Antica Osteria Cavallini.
The restaurant was born, in fact, in December 1934 from an idea of Settimo Cavallini and his wife Adele and, until 2011, it was the oldest license in Milan owned by the same family. From 2011 to today, two important names in the Milanese food scene have followed one another, Joseph Gaphios and Silvano Allambra. The latter, with his Group, has relaunched the historic sign from May 2021, boasting, renewed this summer, the only garden in Milan with underfloor heating in order to be usable all year round.

Entering Villa Lysis means taking a journey into the mind of a 20th-century aesthete: Baron Jacques d’Adelswärd-Fersen, a descendant of a wealthy French family, who took refuge in Capri to create his "Acropolis of Beauty." In June 2026, the Jago Museum Capri was opened here, a living and ever-evolving atelier-museum born from the synergy between the artist Jago's vision and the city of Capri, celebrating beauty as a form of cultural regeneration. One of the most fascinating house museums in Italy.
