Portraits of Milan: meet Gianluca Santamato and Facundo Castellani

Milan is not just a fast-moving metropolis: it is also made up of small neighbourhoods where community takes centre stage.
Cucina Franca has become part of the daily life of people who live locally, proud of a rediscovered sense of slowness and mutual familiarity.
“Many of our neighbours – whether from the building, the street, or the surrounding block – are regular visitors at Franca,” says Facundo.

Milan has a long-standing tradition of hospitality and conviviality.
Cucina Franca, deeply rooted in its neighborhood, wishes to offer a familiar experience to everyone who visits.

Once you sit down, Franca wants you to feel at ease, enjoying a meal away from the frenzy of everyday life.
“Franca isn’t just a trend,” confides Facundo, but a social space with the aim of making people feel good and return gladly.

Milan is global but is also very local.
The neighbourhood is a core part of Cucina Franca, making it vibrant, honest, welcoming and deeply rooted in its local identity.
“When the location for the restaurant was being considered, this area felt like the natural choice,” Gianluca explains.

Cucina Franca decided to begin its journey in Milan, bringing experiences from all over the world.
But once you step inside, that cosmopolitan influence transforms into a neighborly vibe.
Franca greets you with a friendly smile. The team wants you to feel at home, so it’s not just another restaurant on your checklist.
Franca exudes an amicable atmosphere that keeps people coming back, creating a community you can always return to — and that’s something only Milan can offer.
“You walk in here and you’re instantly our friend, ready to sit and eat with us. Every single table here is just like the others,” Facundo tells us.

The next chapter of Ballantyne's FW26 campaign delves into Italy's most distinctive tradition: cuisine.
Milan is a welcoming city, open to influences from all over the world. From the merging of cultures and ideas, interesting projects are born.
One such project is Cucina Franca: a story of friendship between the two founders who created a space based on community, tranquility, and, of course, food.
Founded in 2024, Franca reflects their love for cooking and is a result of their diverse backgrounds.
Franca is also an intimate space that celebrates people, ingredients, and shared experiences, offering a glimpse into a young neighborhood setting with a warm, sociable atmosphere.

What does hospitality really mean?
Could welcoming someone be considered a social act?
Cucina Franca could be an elderly lady opening her door, or a chef inviting you to wander through his world. An honest, sincere name, brimming with the comfort of a home, offering a taste of something familiar.
Gianluca Santamato and Facundo Castellani invite us to the table, sharing their philosophy of cooking and their vision of community.
#ballantyne #fw25
Through the repetition of simple actions comes the quiet of habit. To domesticate is to honour and protect the inherent nature of every element, passing down valuable knowledge across generations.
#ballantyne #rawdiamond
In the Dolomites, every element has its voice. From the animals safely sheltered in the barn to the majestic peaks, each one finds its place and, from the very first day, becomes part of the delicate mountain cycle of life.
#ballantyne #rawdiamond
At the end of a mountain stroll, coming home reveals a familiar surprise. Chance encounters lend a tender touch to every winter landscape.
#ballantyne #rawdiamond
Between mountain crests and a crystal-clear sky, a new world takes shape, blending the textures of wood with the scent of resin. In this rugged atmosphere, the Raw Diamond capsule comes alive.
