.:. Bacchin
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.

.:. Clio Calvi Rudy Volpi
Theoretically speaking it should be only a second-hand shop, dealing with objects to be sold again. As a matter of fact it's a proper design and art gallery, its store always lively and top-notch: Branzi, Sottsass, Nanda Vigo. Some say it's simply the best shop in Milan.

.:. Fornasetti
Seeing is believing. No description of this shop can be adequate. Piero Fornasetti – the 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 new premises, 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 a solo exhibition in 1991.

.:. Ginori 1735
The Manifattura di Doccia, established by Marquis Carlo Ginori in the early 18th century, is still based in Tuscany, and keep producing very fine porcelain. More outstanding lines for the home have been added over time.
.:. The company was particularly successful when, from 1923 to 1933, the Milanese architect and designer Gio Ponti was its art director. Several of those pieces are still produced.

.:. Lorenzi
The workshop was established in 1924 by Battista Lorenzi, a knife grinder from Trentino. With time, a wide selection of toiletries have complemented razors, and now the shop also sells perfumes and cosmetics.
.:. Other Lorenzi shops are found in Milan, more or less of the same sort but independently run. They are placed at Corso Magenta 1, Piazza Filippo Meda 3, and Via Ponte Vetero 17.

.:. 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.

.:. New Old Camera
Possibly the best shop for photography in town, attended for a long time by a world renowned professional like Gianni Berengo Gardin. The eyes of fans are captured by displays of second-hand analogue cameras, lenses and accessories, but most recent digital products are obviously also found.
