Well there's two sides to this discussion. Skrapebook is right that Milan from more aerial or overview photos doesn't really look amazing. On the other hand, you are right that it has lots of history, and in fact in general, there are many not super-appealing places in many cities that still are great and have some good qualities - not everything can be pretty and look perfect every time. Especially in cities where things happen fast and often changes take place in slightly strange uncontrollable ways.

So in a way you are both right. Milan is a incredible city with some interesting history, but it was an improvement to more aerial far away views, with the new scrapers popping up, and in general Milan doesn't look incredibly nice on overview/aerial pictures (close up can often be another matter).

Well as for the skyline, it was for sure an improvement on before, since it completed the business district. But Milan skyline was not completely dull. Not every city on this thread can claim a nice historical skyline beyond the modern one, and very few of them have the Alps on the background.

Listen guys, I've just deleted a whole bunch of off topic posts and I'm tired of it. Let me be clear that this is supposed to be strickly a photo forum, no off topic comments and discussion should be allowed. I've been too easy on you guys and I have enough.
I will suspend anyone who post anything other than the skyline photos from now on. You've been warned.
