.:. opportunities / August, pronounced “o ghost” 

Agosto
August 1st through 31, 2025

August is the month when most of the Milanese go on holiday. Signs saying Chiuso per Ferie, closed for vacation, are posted almost everywhere, and things to do and see in town are few and far between. Assorted open-air spots – the Sforza Castle among them – provide backdrops for concerts and performances.
.:. The city is even more deserted around August 15, called Ferragosto. These are days when even the diehards surrender and abandon Milan.
.:. Some notable exceptions. Through August, visitors enjoy nearly every day the Triennale (where entrance is free any day of August, after choosing your day), the Brera Art Gallery, the Poldi Pezzoli museum (closed on August 15 only), the Gallerie d'Italia near the Duomo, and – though currently with no big exhibitions on – the exclusive fascination of the Fondazione Prada.
