LA MILANESIANA

Conceived and directed by Elisabetta Sgarbi

La Milanesiana was founded in Milan in 2000 on the initiative and under the artistic direction of Elisabetta Sgarbi.
Since its very first edition, the festival has presented itself as a major “laboratory of excellence” dedicated to literature, cinema, music, art, science, and philosophy. Its mission is to create intersections between different forms of knowledge and artistic expression, bringing to Milan internationally renowned figures from the cultural and scientific worlds — including Nobel Prize winners in Literature and Science, Academy Award winners, and musicians honored with the world’s most prestigious distinctions.
Over the years, the festival has continuously expanded its scope. While originally focused on Literature, Music, and Cinema, La Milanesiana gradually embraced additional fields such as Science, Art, Philosophy, Theatre, Law, and Economics.
What began as a Milan-based event has now grown into a nationwide cultural project, taking place across fourteen Italian cities.

It also promotes events, exhibitions, film programs, publishing projects, and cultural initiatives inspired by Battiato’s interdisciplinary approach, with particular attention devoted to younger generations.
