Italy



The Triennale di Milano Library and the Historical Archives present Books & Foods, a selection of historical and contemporary items referring to catering space: the café / restaurant design from the Triennale Cafeteria to the Cafe Nicholson in New York, with an original view to Museums Cafés in Italy from the early Twentieth century and a selection of images, graphics and photographs ranging from the home kitchen to home-cooking.

The exhibition gives examples of different bar/restaurants and cafés in the Palazzo dell’Arte during the Triennale exhibitions: from the Cafeteria on the terrace in 1933 to the Design Café by Michele De Lucchi in 2002.
The documents and images from the archives are in relationship to an example from New York: the famous Cafe Nicholson. This is an eclectic place, a meeting point between the mainstream and the creativity which fits well into the cultural and culinary New Yorker social fabric through the passage of the characters that have attended from the Fifties to the Nineties.
