Milena Milani (1917-2013) was a multifaceted personality in the 20th-century Italian cultural scene. Beginning in the 1940s, she established herself as a writer, journalist, and art critic, engaging with the world of contemporary art through her association with the art dealer Carlo Cardazzo. Her decades-long relationships with numerous painters and sculptors provided fertile ground for her art criticism, which culminated in a series of essays published between the 1970s and 1980s. In these writings, Milani delves into the human dimension of male artists, intertwining biographical details with artistic analysis. By blending diary-like entries and art prose, she crafts a unique narrative approach to art criticism.
