Founded in 2000 in Milan, on the initiative and under the direction of Elisabetta Sgarbi, La Milanesiana aims to bring together different fields of knowledge and the arts, presenting the great international figures of the cultural and scientific world to the general public: Nobel Prize winners for literature and science, Oscar-winning film directors and musicians who have received the highest international honors. Over the years, the festival has increasingly expanded its areas of activity and, in addition to Milan, is held in several cities in Italy, including, for the past ten years, Bormio.

Each year, La Milanesiana addresses a theme that defines and runs through the entire edition. This year, it is "Desire and Law".
