Franco Faggiani lives in Milan and works as a journalist. He is the author of highly acclaimed novels published by Fazi Editore, including La manutenzione dei sensi, Il guardiano della collina dei ciliegi, and L’inventario delle nuvole.
Translated in seven countries and recognized with prestigious awards — including the Grand Prix du Salon International du Livre de Montagne de Passy 2024 for the French edition L’inventaire des nuages —, his works celebrate an intimate connection with the land.
In his stories, mountains, forests, and rural landscapes step beyond the role of mere backdrops to become living protagonists: spaces of the spirit where memory, introspection, and a genuine return to nature seamlessly coalesce.
Terroir is the unrepeatable union of land, climate, and culture that bestows a unique identity upon everything born from it. In a location that has always cherished the values of sowing and cultivating, Terroir comes to life: the new chapter of Piazza di Portrait Milano, dedicated to letting the finest expressions of living flourish.
On the occasion of La Vendemmia by Montenapoleone District, the Piazza transforms to welcome a spectacular vineyard in the heart of the city. An unprecedented green oasis open to the public, setting the stage for a rich program of talks, tastings, and events focused on culture, conviviality, and discovery.
