About Quadrilatero della Moda
The Quadrilatero della Moda is the set of streets northeast of the Duomo where major fashion brands concentrate. The four sides are Via Montenapoleone, Via Manzoni, Via della Spiga and Corso Venezia, and inside are Via Sant'Andrea, Via Borgospesso and Via Gesù.
Beyond the shop windows, the neighborhood has 18th- and 19th-century palaces and inner courtyards that appear when gates are open. The Museo Bagatti Valsecchi on Via Gesù displays the home of two 19th-century collector brothers, decorated in a Renaissance style.
Even those not shopping can stroll the streets, look at the windows and see why Milan is a fashion capital. Fashion weeks in February and September and Milano Design Week in April make the area even busier.
Via della Spiga is pedestrian for much of its length, and Via Montenapoleone has wide sidewalks and traditional cafés.
