TOGETHER WE CAN: the music that unites our hearts 
A slowed down and decidedly silent Milan stands outside our windows, where the first rays of the (almost) spring sun make the colors of a city momentarily at rest shine. We hear more clearly those sounds that in moments of urban frenzy disappeared between the horns and the incessant cars, marking our days between timid chirping and the Milanese rattling of the trams. Here is a city that invites its citizens to (re) discover themselves and their home, at a time of activities and small gestures that in everyday life are often taken for granted.
But your home is no different. Thanks to the powerful weapon of technology and hyper-connection, the home walls will become a theater of experimentation. Whether you are lovers of cooking, art or curious by nature, there will be opportunities to deepen passions and ambitions. And if the Milanese ritual par excellence of the aperitif seems essential, no problem! Thanks to the sophisticated network of video call services, toasting in the company of your friends, perhaps with a refreshing Campari Soda to sip with taste, will add a vibrant twist to your evenings.
And now, device in hand: the best pastimes #WithoutLeaving the house are waiting for you, just a click away!
SOCIAL APERITIVO
Milan is known as the queen of the aperitif. A must rite of the Milanese culture, where “drinking well” is celebrated in all its forms. But for a toast as tradition commands, how can you gather with the closest friends or loved ones “at a safe distance?” To connect hearts and souls, all you need is a device, a microphone, a screen, a refreshing Campari Soda and a burst of energy.
The list of video call systems goes on and on: Whatsapp, FaceTime, Skype, Messenger, Google Meet, Zoom and HouseParty , which, in addition to simple “face-to-face,” also allow you to challenge your friends with competitions, quizzes and interactive games, in the name of strictly “social” fun. Technology shortens distances, but now that the days are getting longer and brighter, why not choose your own counter – or rather, a balcony – for a toast overlooking the streets of the city, wrapped in the notes of the most multifaceted songs that echo from the open windows. It makes for an aperitif to be enjoyed without rules, prejudices and time limits. Grab a glass with some ice cubes, an orange slice and all the energy of seltz and Campari, for a toast “without labels,” a symbol since 1932 of conviviality and light-heartedness. Cheers!
