EVOLVO S.r.l

Happy summer holidays from the Evolvo Team!🍉☀️

After a short break we will be back to share new exciting experiences and adventures with you all!

📍Parco del Portello

A green oasis carved out of Milan’s industrial past! Spiral hills, futuristic contours, and quiet water reflections make Parco del Portello one of the city's most striking modern landscapes.🌀

Designed by Charles Jencks and Andreas Kipar, this park turns urban space into a cosmic sculpture, complete with a record-breaking 208-meter bench winding along the path!

Throwing it back to late May when this incredible Erasmus group from Jihlava🇨🇿 brought so much energy and warmth to Milan🇮🇹

From brightening up classrooms in kindergartens to keeping things running smoothly in hotels, they truly gave it their all during their time with us. It was an honor to host such a hard-working, passionate team, and we’re still feeling the positive impact they left behind!

Thank you for all your hard work and enthusiasm!

Milan’s gates are more than just beautiful landmarks; they tell the story of the city’s past.

Built as entrances through the walls that defended Milan over the centuries, these gates changed from fortified openings into monumental arches. They are usually divided into Roman, Medieval, and Spanish gates, although many were rebuilt during Napoleon’s era.

Many of their names reveal the destinations they once led to: Porta Venezia toward Venice, Porta Romana toward Rome, Porta Ticinese toward Pavia (ancient Ticinum), and Porta Garibaldi (once called Porta Comasina) toward Como.

Originally, Milan had 11 main gates; today, six remain, each linked to one of the city’s historic sestieri (districts). ✨

Even though the Winter Olympics have come to an end, the memories of those unforgettable weeks in Milan are still shining bright. ✨❄️

The Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II looked especially magical beneath its illuminated roof, capturing the unique atmosphere that filled the city during the Games.

📸 A huge thank you to the Erasmus group from Bremen for this beautiful photo!

A little March throwback with our amazing Erasmus+ group from Bremen.

From discovering Milan's iconic landmarks to wandering through its hidden streets, they made the most of every moment, and captured the city beautifully along the way. 📸✨

Swipe through to see Milan through their lens and relive a few highlights from their mobility experience.

Long before Milan became the city we know today, its symbol was the legendary half-woolen sow (scrofa semilanuta). 🐗

According to legend, the Celtic leader Belloveso crossed the Alps in search of a new homeland. Guided by a goddess who appeared in his dream, he arrived in the plains of northern Italy and discovered a remarkable wild sow with long woolly fur covering the front half of her body. Taking it as a sign, he founded the city on that very spot and named it Mediolanum—a name traditionally linked to the mysterious semilanuta, or "half-woolen."

📍Navigli Canals

There's something special about the little details that make a city unforgettable.

Hidden along Milan's canals, these love locks each tell a story of promises, memories, and moments shared. Sometimes it's not the famous landmarks, but the quiet corners that stay with you the longest. 🔒❤️

In the beginning of March, we welcomed an Erasmus+ group from Moravský Krumlov, Czech Republic, to Milan for a two-week mobility experience.

During their stay, the participants completed internships in hostels and local companies, gaining valuable professional experience while discovering Italian culture and life in Milan.

Thank you to all our partners and participants for making this project a success! 🇨🇿🤝🇮🇹

From lively open-air markets to vibrant covered halls, Milan's markets are where the city's authentic spirit comes to life. Wander through colorful stalls, discover fresh local produce, artisan specialties, and hidden gems, while experiencing the everyday rhythm of Milan beyond the famous landmarks. 🧺🍎
