Visit Milan

Milan is an Italian town of 1 373 517 inhabitants, the capital of the Lombardy region and of the metropolitan city of the same name, and the center of one of the most populous metropolitan areas in Europe. With over 1 million and 370 thousand inhabitants, it is the most populous city in the region, the second most populous municipality in Italy after Rome and one of the twenty most populous cities in Europe.
Its rise began a few decades ago. The first Fuorisalone, a happy spin off of the Salone del Mobile, the April Design Week, was in 1991 to transform the city into an international laboratory of widespread creativity. Expo 2015 has made it the capital of food. In recent years, not only a hub of fashion and design, the metropolis has embraced the direction of the regeneration of abandoned spaces and neighborhoods: garages and post-industrial volumes where food, work and ideas are shared.
The revisiting of environments with exposed beams and raw concrete goes hand in hand with the creation of the new skyscrapers of City Life and Porta Nuova, the new metropolitan markets and the Vertical Forest. Contemporary art, even site-specific, invades the reused spaces in a modern way: the old hangars of Bicocca and the volumes of an early 1900s distillery, now Fondazione Prada.
The Last Supper by Leonardo da Vinci, in the refectory of Santa Maria delle Grazie, remains the 1st for visitors, followed by the Pinacoteca di Brera. In competition with the great tourist attraction: shopping. No longer introverted, Milan wants to belong to everyone. Ready to be shared. Smart and social like few others.
