MILANO
BELLA
ITALIA
Milan
is a good example of Italy at its best. It is a modern city, where
EXPO 2015 is taking place, but it is also full of history,
architecture, monuments and parks. A perfect mix of new and old. The
ever present ruins and ancient architecture remind of the grandiose
Roman Empire, while Palazzo Lombardia with Torre Unicredit and Torre
Diamante are an ultimate modern contrast.
Milan
is not only attractive due to the sights one can visit, like Il Duomo
and La Scala, churches, cathedrals and basilicas, Leonardo Da Vinci's
Monument, La Galeria, The Sforza Castle and many more.
The
building of Il Duomo commenced in late 1300s and lasted for close to
600 years, the Gothic architecture becoming Neo-Gothic with time. It
is a masterpiece of detail and sculpture.
Arch
of Peace in Sempione Park built in early 1800s on the remnants of
Roman Walls is part of the historic center of Milan.
Milan
dictates fashion like Paris and London. In fact its fashion houses
are recognized world wide and probably even more popular. Just a
stroll through the narrow streets of fashon shops is an enjoyable
experience until one has a look at the price tags. The ultimate delight is Milano Moda Week, Fashion Week of spectacular shows
promoting Italian Fashion to the world.
And,
of course, delicious Italian cuisine is available at every corner.
Milan invites connoisseurs and is the playground to wine tasting. The
wine making industry enhances not only the landscape of wine growing
region but also makes Italy famous for its well known beverages.
Italian cuisine accompanied by a choice of wines is a delicious
memory of the visit to Milan.
