When speaking of Isola with someone living in Milan, the first thing that comes up is that it is for the radical chic. Not many people are aware of the past of the neighbourhood and the thick social fabric that has characterized it since its creation. Isola is not only a place where you go for aperitivo, but it is also a place where the local community feels a strong bond with the area and fought against the projects that are now the pride of the city.
