Sandwiches, Burghy di San Babila and Italy in the 80s

If you are Millennial (and beyond) and you are wondering why there is so much talk about sandwiches these days, here’s the answer. After more than 40 years, the December 6th in Milan closes the McDonald’s from Piazza San Babila. An address that was not just a fast food restaurant, but in its own way a symbol of an era: that of the 80s, of Milan to drink and sandwiches. Born as burghy in 1981, it has long been the headquarters of a slice of youth who dressed in the bomber jacket or the Moncler shiny down jacket, Timberland shoes and El Charro belts. A metropolitan tribe who distanced himself from the militant political commitment of the 70s, affirming a style that still has its nostalgics today.
