This is Milan’s most historic club – its original location was frequented by the likes of Andy Warhol and Keith Haring (you can still see the door Haring painted). Little has changed since its '80s golden era, not the heaving gay-friendly crowd, the mildly claustrophobic atmosphere nor the strict door policy. Even DJ Nicola Guiducci has been manning the console for 30 years.
