“The new should emerge in the old not with preponderance, but by integrating and serving it, with the aim of enhancing what is already beautifully hidden by the old walls.”


Arch. Michele De Lucchi

After more than two decades, one of the most fascinating hidden places in Milan’s Fashion District has been returned to the city and made accessible to the public. Thanks to a delicate restoration project promoted by Lungarno Collection and entrusted to Architect Michele De Lucchi, the former Archbishop's Seminary at Corso Venezia 11 has reopened as a new destination that combines the tailored hospitality for which the Portrait brand is known for with gourmand, shopping, wellness and cultural experiences.


The majestic Piazza del Quadrilatero appears through Francesco Maria Richini’s splendid Baroque archway, and with its over 2,800 sqm (30,000 sqf) it offers hotel guests, those travelling through the city and locals alike not only a new promenade that connects Corso Venezia with Via Sant’Andrea, but an elegant seventeenth-century colonnade too.

“Il nuovo nell’antico non deve emergere con preponderanza, ma integrarsi e servire per esaltare quanto di più bello soggiace nascosto dalle vecchie mura.”


Arch. Michele De Lucchi

Dopo oltre vent’anni uno dei luoghi segreti più affascinanti del Quadrilatero della Moda di Milano è stato riaperto ai milanesi e ai visitatori della città. Grazie a un attento progetto di rinnovamento conservativo promosso da Lungarno Collection e affidato all’Architetto Michele De Lucchi, l’ex Seminario Arcivescovile di Corso Venezia 11 è stato trasformato in una nuova destinazione che coniuga l’ospitalità su misura del brand Portrait con esperienze gourmand, shopping, benessere e culturali. Superato lo splendido portale barocco di Francesco Maria Richini, si apre la maestosa Piazza del Quadrilatero di oltre 2.800 mq, che da oggi diventa luogo aperto: una nuova passeggiata che mette in comunicazione Corso Venezia con Via Sant’Andrea e dà accesso anche all’elegante colonnato seicentesco.
