Benevenuti a Milano!!!! Unlike Florence and other smaller cities, Milan is a large city of 1.3million people. It has a large international community since it is the fashion (the fashion capital of the world) and a commercial center in Italy. It is also different than Roma and Florence because it has a few building surviving from the ancient and medieval eras. Milan was heavily bombed in WWII. However there are surviving structures such as the Basilica of St. Ambrose (3rd century A.D.), remains of an imperial palace when the empire's capital was moved to Milan (3rd-4th century A.D.), and the Gothic cathedral of Milan (8th biggest in the world, 2nd biggest in Italy). So here are some fotos for you to enjoy!!!
