"It is not true that working from a café means getting distracted. Choosing a place that becomes part of one's daily routine-both in the neighbourhood and in professional life-means looking beyond the obvious: not only the comfort of the workstation, sockets, Wi-Fi, accessibility and price, or the quality of food and coffee, but also the acoustics, visual distractions, background music, outdoor seating, areas for private calls, weekend and evening opening hours and, not least, the temperature and human ecosystem of regulars."
"The future of work will remain hybrid. Cafés, coffee shops and venues have become more accommodating, realising that workers are an opportunity rather than a nuisance. Perhaps we are moving beyond Italy's culture of the quick espresso at the counter and the caricature of the "time-waster" who sits for hours: instead, a new idea of permanence is taking shape. Places "to stay," where work becomes part of everyday public and private life."
September in Milan draws freelancers, remote workers, students and creatives seeking spaces to work, study, grab coffee and network. Spaces are needed where studio, office, lunch break and collaboration blur into one shared environment that is pleasant, stimulating and affordable. Remote work is no longer improvised; reliable maps of spaces prevent calls in libraries or running out of hotspot data. Choice of place requires attention to workstation comfort, sockets, Wi‑Fi, accessibility, price, food quality, acoustics, visual distractions, background music, outdoor seating, private-call areas, extended hours, temperature and the regular human ecosystem. Milan's hybrid work culture is shaping new permanence in public life.
