In short
In 1857 Emperor Franz Joseph ordered the walls of Vienna pulled down and a boulevard laid in their place. The Ringstrasse filled with the Opera, the Parliament, the museums and the palaces of the families who paid for them. The Secession building by Joseph Maria Olbrich opened in 1898, and Adolf Loos built his house on Michaelerplatz between 1909 and 1911.
The villas of Lake Como, from Villa d'Este at Cernobbio to Villa del Balbianello on its point, are the model for half the terraces on Instagram. In Milan, the Salone del Mobile has filled the city every April since 1961, and the design houses show the year's furniture across town during the same week.
Art Basel was founded in Basel in 1970 and runs its main fair there every June. It has held a December fair in Miami Beach, near Miami, since 2002, a March fair in Hong Kong since 2013, and an October fair in Paris since 2024.
