MILAN a collection city!
Here I show some images of Milan, my home city for two years now. It is true, Milan is not Paris or any love-at-first-sight city, but if you walk its streets, avenues, squares, parks... and if you visit its pubs, bars, restaurants, trattorias, shops, churches, gallerias, museums, and all the events of years... you gonna love it! Milan is a city of interiors, the live is inside the walls and facades, in its private interior gardens and its ex-fabrics and industrial heritage...

Great pictures. Lovely city. Even barroco architecture is well represented in this city.

Milan was the cleanest of the three big Italian cities I've visited. The other two cities were Rome and Catania.

After seeing some of the recent posts on trash and garabge in the streets of Naples and Rome, this was a refreshing change. I can only hope the current generation of Italians values the architectural wonders that have been gifted to it, and not take them for granted by ruining them with ugly graffitti and neglect.

Milan looks very attractive to me in East Asia. I feel it's never less impressive than any other european historic cities. furthermore, everyone in korea says 'Milano'.

Well the italian name for the city is actually MILANO which mean "half-moon" in latin (Mediolanum). But, in "milanese", english, spanish and french it is MILAN... I think in german it MAINLAND or something like that.... |
