Perhaps a safe is not exactly the souvenir to take home, but if you like the locks and keys genre, this is a place to see.

.:. Fornasetti
No description of this shop can be quite adequate: seeing is believing. The founder Piero Fornasetti - Milanese 'designer of dreams' famous the world over for his decorative wall-plates, trompe-l'oeils, objects and eccentric 1950s-style furniture - died in 1988. His son Barnaba took over the business and moved the shop to loftier premises, back to its origins in Via Manzoni, where creations inspired by the artist are shown off to great advantage. The Victoria & Albert Museum in London paid a tribute to Fornasetti's outstanding originality with an exhibition of his work in 1991.

The workshop was established in 1924 by a knife grinder from Trentino. With time, a wide selection of toiletries have complemented razors, and now Lorenzi also sells perfumes and cosmetics.

.:. Manifattura Ginori
The Manifattura di Doccia, established by Marquis Carlo Ginori in the early 18th century, was particularly successful when, from 1923 to 1933, the Milanese architect and designer Gio Ponti was its art director. The company is still based in Tuscany, and keep producing very fine porcelain. Several lines for the home have been added over time.

.:. Moroni Gomma
Born as a technical store for rubber (gomma) and waterproof clothing - but the original premises in the Paolo Sarpi district have closed - it is now a sort of small, well kept department store for interior design objects.

Glassware to suit all tastes, from lamps to tumblers. They used to have another shop at Via Pietro Verri 4, which also run a swap service for used glasswares (quality assumed, you could exchange your two surviving glasses from a wedding gift for something else, or find two you are missing), but closed down on August 31, 2010. What's worse, even this shop closed down on July 13, 2024. Business, telephone and website are still in operation, however.
