When you think of Bologna, you think of its university; Turin brings to mind FIAT and the Royal Palace. Florence evokes art, Venice is the unrivaled lagoon city, and Rome is the eternal city. But Milan? Milan resists being pinned to a single, iconic image. Known as la città nascosta - the hidden city - it is a place of striking contrasts. On the one hand, it serves as Italy's dynamic economic powerhouse; on the other, it boasts a rich history and an array of artistic treasures just waiting to be discovered.
The author, a 30-year resident of Milan, offers a deeply personal perspective on this dynamic metropolis. From its historical roots to its modern vibrancy, he captures Milan as both authentically Italian and cosmopolitan. His goal is to highlight the city's extraordinary landmarks, reveal its hidden gems, and convey the unique rhythm of Milanese life.
Follow the author through a city in constant motion, where elegance and industriousness are celebrated, and the focus is always on looking forward, never back.
This is a personal travel guide from a true insider, including a visit to Isola, one of Milan's trendiest neighborhoods.
