ciao from italy - cowo milano

[maxthemonkey]

hi,

after a few weeks of lurking, we finally got together our little
coworking project in milano, italy.

first of all, my thanks to this community for the inspiring views and
insightful comments. I was about to write to introduce myself sooner,
but then I understood I'd better listen for some time.

at this point, we've opened our doors and started our blog (http://
coworkingmilano.wordpress.com if anybody feels like dropping by). we
also treated ourselves with a smiling logo.

the office is an open space rather comfortable (140 sqm), where we
actually work as a three-person team on the advertising communication
field (monkey business, that's us).

we offer weekly/monthly deals on 5 desks with mac workstations,
couches, coffee, meeting area etc. the neighborhhod is pleasent,
situated on the east border of the city, in an area of refurbished
lofts and art galleries called Lambrate.

while we look at other coworking experiences around the world for
insipiration and hints, we are about to test whether this working
solution appeals to fellow italians. as far as we know, there's only
one other coworking operating in our country, in rome (@7th floor).

good news is that the italian art directors club, the national
advertising creative association, just mentioned today our initiative
in the club's blog:

http://blog.adci.it/cercate-ufficio-perche-non-provare-il-co-working

in our blog we are tryiong to link all the coworking around the world,
so I'll be happy to include whoever's initiative, just drp an email to
m...@monkeybusinessmilano.it.

that's all for now, I'll try to give updates on what happens in our
cowo. ciao!

Hey Max, well done!
the space looks fantastic, and it's in one of my favourite areas in Milan!
I may pay you a visit during the furniture fair ;)

Congratulations,
  Riccardo

hey riccardo, hey tara, thank you for such a warm welcome!

we wait for both of you, here in lambrate/milano real soon... it'd be
great to meet you.

in the meantime thank you for adding us to the blogroll- and yes, i'd
be delighted to introduce ourselves with a quick post on the blog. as
a matter of fact i have riceived the invitation, but no way to get to
the writing section... am i missing something?

anyway, first 2-days of cowo have gotten good attention, with almost
200 pageviews on the blog and a few first-contact emails...

thank again and keep in touch!
