OSPITA.MI

OspitaMi, the association that intends home sharing as sharing the home in an unstructured way (i.e. not as a regular profession) and that allows to improve the hospitality of the city by spreading Italian culture abroad, and the Bagatti Valsecchi Museum, a real house museum in the heart of Milan, they have entered into a convention to strengthen the bond between visitors and the city in the name of hospitality.

In 2019, around 7.5 million tourists visited Milan. A great opportunity to welcome them on a welcoming journey to discover beauty, having the house as its fil rouge, best represented by Bagatti Valsecchi that welcomes visitors to a real home characterized, among other things, also by accents of design and innovation for the era in which it was conceived and built.

Bagatti Valsecchi House is in fact a dwelling full of great charm: among fifteenth-century weapons, objects and furnishings it is a real capsule of time in the heart of the Milanese fashion district. The house is the result of an extraordinary collection event of the late nineteenth century which features Fausto and Giuseppe Bagatti Valsecchi, two brothers who renovated the family home in the heart of Milan and collected an extraordinary collection of Renaissance works. Today, visiting the noble floor of the building you live a welcoming experience and you can breathe a Milanese history.

Currently short rents represent a new way of understanding tourism, all to be enhanced. Constantly growing – and the numbers of the Airbnb phenomenon, one of the reference platforms for tourist rental, speak for themselves: in July 2019 there were about 416,000 ads available on the portal, capable of offering over 1.8 million beds -, this new mode of tourism aims to offer guests-tourists residences that really welcome and make them feel right at home. It is therefore with a view to welcoming the visitor that the convention that aims to give value to the best that the city is able to offer is included, including the treasures hidden in the courtyards of Milan.
