Milan Italy

Milan is the heart of Lombardy and northern Italy. A city where wealth has always been synonymous with elegance: the nation's economic engine and a crossroads of trade with Europe, it has, over the centuries, created its own style that is reflected in architecture, art, fashion and cuisine. The historic centre has retained the dimensions of a Renaissance city, with the waterways of the Navigli and narrow streets where boutiques and design shops are now located. The Duomo is a magnificent Gothic cathedral: on the roof you can see the spires merging with the peaks of the Alps. Not far away, the Castello Sforzesco is an authentic medieval fortress, housing collections of paintings and sculptures, while the Pinacoteca di Brera has unique masterpieces by Piero della Francesca, Raphael and Caravaggio. The key attraction, however, remains Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper, a fresco surrounded by legendary stories. Milan is a city to be experienced in all its rituals, such as the evening aperitif at the tables of local bars, or in restaurants that know how to mix Lombard tradition with cosmopolitan flavours. But it is also a venue for special events - design week and fashion shows - where every street is transformed into an open-air exhibition. A visit to learn to appreciate the best of Italy.
