In Milan, young professionals find new ways of finding their community, offline

How do you deal with loneliness and the chaos of living in a big city? Where can you find a place to hang out, offline, and feel at home?

Burraco Milano is a non-profit founded by a group of young people in their 30s with the idea of building a community and giving a space to those who feel like they don’t have one. One year after the opening, their monthly meetups for playing cards, singing karaoke, and meeting new people, always held in authentic areas unaffected by gentrification, sell out in minutes.
