Milan, March 21st – A section of central Milan is set to transform into a film set today, Saturday, March 21st, as production for the new Netflix mini-series, ‘The Label’, commences in Piazza Cordusio. To accommodate the filming, Cordusio Street will be closed to traffic from early morning until the afternoon, impacting local traffic flow.
‘The Label’ Brings Sanremo to Milan’s Heart
The mini-series, directed by Luca Miniero, features a prominent Italian cast including Christian De Sica, Claudio Santamaria, and Cristina Capotondi. ‘The Label’ is reportedly centered around the iconic Sanremo Festival, with initial filming having already taken place in Sanremo. The crew’s arrival in Milan marks a new phase of production for the highly anticipated series.
Cordusio Street will be inaccessible from 5:30 AM to 4:00 PM to facilitate the setup and execution of the cinematic scenes. This temporary closure is part of broader traffic modifications scheduled for the weekend of March 21st and 22nd, though ‘The Label’ is the primary cause for the Cordusio disruption.
Milan: A Recurring Backdrop for Major Productions
This is not the first time Milan has served as a backdrop for significant film and television productions. Recently, the city hosted the filming of ‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’, the sequel to the popular film starring Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep. Palazzo Parigi was a key location for this production, with scenes also shot in various central areas and even during a Dolce & Gabbana fashion show.
The frequent choice of Milan by international and national productions underscores the city’s appeal and versatility as a filming location, offering a blend of historic charm and modern urban landscapes. The presence of ‘The Label’ is expected to generate excitement among local residents and fans of the featured actors.
Traffic Adjustments and Public Information
Local authorities have advised residents and commuters to be aware of the road closure on Cordusio Street and to plan alternative routes. While specific details on traffic diversions for other areas over the weekend were not immediately available, the closure of Cordusio is confirmed. The public is encouraged to stay updated through local news channels and official city announcements regarding any further traffic changes.
The filming of ‘The Label’ is a testament to Milan’s growing reputation as a cultural and creative hub, attracting high-profile projects that contribute to the city’s vibrant atmosphere and economic activity. The series, once released on Netflix, is expected to showcase Milan’s iconic beauty to a global audience.
