Laid tables and wild dancing with disco music not far from ancient and priceless books preserved in the most famous art gallery in Italy: this is what took place in recent days in Brera , in the heart of Milan, starring Cristina Fogazzi, better known as a Cynical Beautician . A party organized to launch his new Spanish project , but which sparked a storm on social media.

The entrepreneur with 1 million followers organized her party, to which she invited well-known faces and famous Italian and Spanish influencers, "paying 80 thousand euros plus 15 thousand for the custodians", specified the director of the Pinacoteca Angelo Crespi . «Prices are not decided by museums – he clarified – they are rigorously defined by a ministry regulation based on square metres, type of spaces, presence of works. Since the Franceschini reform, the granting of places for rent by cultural institutions represents a budget item to finance restorations, conservation and valorisation".

It's a shame that in the Braidense Library, where dinner was consumed, students are strictly prohibited from eating or even drinking water . To consult texts, it is also necessary to use white gloves. And the Instagram page Milano_segreta , a company that organizes cultural tours in the city, underlined the unacceptable disparity in treatment.

"Yesterday a show was staged which was, to say the least, unseemly, indeed, downright unworthy, which does no honor whatsoever to an important institution like that of Brera", we read in some Instagram stories with reference to Fogazzi's mega party. «Okay, someone might say, pay, advertise the museum too, what do you care? No, it doesn't matter. Because the dinner in particular was set up inside the Braidense Library. For those who don't know or who have never been there, to enter Braidense, students themselves who need to consult books, tourist guides ditto and anyone who needs to do research in any case, it is strictly forbidden to eat inside , and strictly forbidden also drink water . It is also strictly mandatory to use white gloves inside. Very fair rules, given that Braidense has an invaluable book heritage among the most important in Europe . Now someone has to explain, how is it possible that people even allow themselves to binge eat, play music, etc. inside, literally a few centimeters from the very ancient tomes and shelves?".

Fogazzi's harsh reply on Instagram, which also placed emphasis on the great publicity made by Spanish influencers. « I paid to stay in a location. I have always paid for everything I have done, 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 private clients . If you don't know, the paintings, the large paintings that you go to see, have always been produced for private clients. All painting has always been strongly desired by private clients even in its historical evolutions. Furthermore, the Pinacoteca di Brera is not a very visited museum in Italy . I decided to bring ten Spanish influencers to Brera saying 'This way a few million people in Spain can see Brera' . Luckily there are people who get rich with their work. I have earned everything I have. I don't have a rich family."
