The Neapolitan Tombolata
This year too, Galleria & Friends, the project by Elisabetta Invernici and Alberto Oliva to rediscover and enhance the Milanese excellence of craftsmanship and old workshops, has chosen to conclude the 2024 meetings with tombola. And which historic workshop was more suitable than Cilento 1780? The legendary Neapolitan tailoring address dating back to 1780, with a very busy branch in Milan in Via Fiori Oscuri, in the heart of Brera. The success was greater than expectations. At 5pm, the time of the appointment, the shop was packed, with it almost impossible to find seats, despite the many chairs, armchairs and sofas. Gustavo La Volpe, a true Neapolitan and actor, extracted the numbers after some exorcism with a large red horn. Gifts from both tombola: bottles, biscuits, chocolate, books on the shops and scarves for the winners of the two tombolas, who were congratulated by Ugo Cilento, connecting from Naples.
