From September 8 to 13 , CityLife’s greenspaces will come alive with six days of music, entertainment by Coca-Cola, and exclusive creations from Italy’s greatest master pizza makers. Milan is getting ready to host an unmissable village dedicated to the art of pizza, set up right in the shadow of the skyscrapers at CityLife Park.

A major new feature this year is the partnership with Caffè Borbone, which will offer a free coffee every day to the first 2,000 people who visit the dedicated area.
To savor the creations of the master pizza makers, the event offers three different options to suit every need. Sales will officially open on August 31.
