PICNIC IN THE CITY®
YOUR MOVEABLE FEAST.
Picnic in the City® is an Italian matching project for private, hospitality, brand and cultural briefs.
Each brief is matched with creators, places and local specialists from the city or area where the experience will happen.
We are onboarding local networks now and accepting selected briefs and collaborations.
The Other Gathering
Begin with a basket.
Bring the brief, Picnic looks across the local network for the people, places and elements that fit the occasion.

WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT
THE BASKET COMES FIRST.
Picnic looks across the relevant local network for a mix that fits the brief: people, places, food, music, craft, movement, culture and local knowledge.
A richer local network means more possible combinations for that place.
NO TEMPLATES.
NO FIXED FORMATS.
One brief might begin with a chef.
Another with a garden.
Another with an astronomer.
Another with a maker, musician or collection.
Picnic finds the mix around the occasion.
Think of Picnic In The City® as your basket.
But instead of sandwiches and wine, fill it with people, places, food, music, craft, movement, culture and unusual knowledge.
The word picnic comes through the French pique nique, associated with shared meals where people contributed something.
That idea became the starting point for Picnic in the City®: choose the elements, place them in the basket, and compose the gathering around the brief.
The basket changes with the brief, the place and the people.
THE MAP FOLLOWS
THE NETWORK.
Picnic is Italian by origin and local by nature.
Creators, places and specialists join from where they are.
A maker in Milan belongs to Milan.
A guide in Vicenza belongs to Vicenza.
A host in Athens belongs to Athens.
As a local network gains enough range to answer real briefs, that location becomes active on the Picnic map.
The result is local matching shaped by the people, places and knowledge actually available there.
Italian by origin. Local by nature.
The basket, the place, the elements, the result.
