CITY GUIDES
MILANO
| A city of fashion, design, publishing, advertising and high-tech. Once the
province's moral and cultural capital, Milan's enterprising spirit was swept aside by the
more emphemeral and superficial aspects of life in the 80's. With some effort, La Scala, il Piccolo Teatro, as well as the worlds of information and mass communication have helped the city back to its feet, where it remains a neurotic, compulsive commercial center, city of both the most sophisticated of shopping and the most impracticable of unrealized projects. Architecturally speaking, the city is interspersed with several significant
structures: the Sforza Castle, S. Ambrogio Church, the Duomo, S.Maria delle Grazie and the
Cenacolo, -where Da Vinci's Last Supper is located,- the museum Pinacoteca di Brera and
the Museum Poldi Pezzoli. |
