.:. opportunities / August, pronounced “o ghost” 

Agosto
August 1st through 31, 2024

August is the month when most of the Milanese go on holiday. Signs saying Chiuso per Ferie, closed for vacation, are posted almost everywhere, and things to do and see in town are few and far between. Assorted open-air spots - the Sforza Castle among them - provide backdrops for concerts and performances.
.:. The city is even more deserted around August 15, called Ferragosto. These are days when even the diehards surrender and abandon Milan.
.:. Some notable exceptions. Through August, visitors enjoy nearly every day the Triennale, the Brera Art Gallery, the Poldi Pezzoli museum (guided visits with no additional charge on August.7 and 28), the Gallerie d'Italia close to the Duomo, and the exclusive fascination of the Fondazione Prada.
.:. By the way, a new subway line enters operation on August 6. It's perfect to reach the Navigli
