Antonio Berardi describes his city…
I chose to live in Milan as it made my life easier. I used to spend 5 days a week here and go back to England for the weekend, but after a while it all became a little too much. The nicest thing about Milan is that nobody knows you. Most of the time I can hang out and chill, without being recognized, which is ideal. Of course, going to a club or a trendy bar or restaurant is a different matter. People recognize you, talk about you as if you are not there, or think that because they know who you are, you are their friend. Italian friendly can be miss-construed as stalking, and on occasion I have had to be rescued.
