Bar Luce
If you love Grand Hotel Budapest and its pastel colors or you are nostalgic clinging to the beautiful of yesteryear, the Bar Luce is for you, and for your Instagram profile. At the entrance of Via Orobia of the Prada Foundation, the Bar Luce recreates the atmosphere of a typical old Milan coffee according to the brilliant interpretation of Wes Anderson, who so imagined it: «(…) was meant to be 'lived', it should have many comfortable places to sit down to talk, read, eat, drink … I think it would be a great set, but also a beautiful place to write a film. I tried to shape a place where I'd like to spend my 'non-cinematographic' afternoons". The chairs, the ant furniture, the floor, the veneered wood panels that cover the walls and the color range recall the popular culture and aesthetics of Italy in the Fifties and Sixties, to which Anderson has already inspired for the short film Cavalcanti Castle (2013). Among the other iconographic sources there are two masterpieces of Italian Neorealism, both set in Milan: Miracle in Milan (1951) by Vittorio De Sica e Rocco and his brothers (1960) by Luchino Visconti. While enjoying a breakfast of cappuccino and cornet signed Marchesi in front of the beautiful coffee machine and showcase of bitters and distillates, it will be impossible to resist a snap of jukebox or pinballs immersed in glass jars overflowing with candies for your profile Instagram.
