The party organized in Brera by the Brescian entrepreneur Cristina Fogazziwith several Spanish influencers, for launch the Cinica Beautician brand in Spain, it became a social media sensation. The controversy arose on Instagram, where the Instagram page Secret_Milan, which organizes cultural tours in the city, spoke of an «unseemly and unworthy spectacle for an important institution like that of Brera». In detail, they were the tables set in the Braidense National Library and the open-air disco in the main courtyard to raise scandal.
«The dinner in particular – writes Milano_segreta – was set up inside the Braidense Library. For those who don’t know or who have never been there, to enter Braidense the students themselves are strictly prohibited from eating inside or even drinking water. White gloves should also be used indoors. Very fair rules, given that I would like to remind those who don’t know that Braidense has an inestimable book heritage among the most important in Europe. Now someone has to explain to me, how is it possible that this even allows itself to be done inside binges, music, just a few centimeters from the ancient tomes and shelves. I’m leaving aside the arrival of delivery pizzas on board Vespas, but did all these people eating cannoli among centuries-old tomes then use gloves to go around as we mere mortals are forced to do?
There reply by Cristina Fogazzi she didn’t wait long. «I organized an event inside Brera, as other people have organized before me – this is the response on Instagram – The location was desired by me because the alternative was another hotel. There were ten very big Spanish influencers, in their stories they first took a tour inside Brera showing our art gallery to millions of people in Spain. The event had the necessary authorizations: the candles on the tables were fake and no flash photos were taken. Organizing events in these contexts is very complicated because there are very strict rules. The caterers are chosen by the museums. I paid to stay in a location. I always paid for everything I did, like any other brand does. Let’s stop with the mystification of places of culture. The works you see inside Brera were made thanks to the private client. They called me ‘Parvenu’, but thank goodness there are people who get rich with their work. I have earned everything I have. I don’t have a rich family.”
