| Center of fashion, business and finance, Milan has a bustling, businesslike feel about it. It is chic rather than imagination and the heartland of the Italiana economy.
To the Goths who took it over from the Romans, it was "Mailand," the land of May, a place of warmth and inspiration. It has long been an important trading center at the junction of transalpine routes, and a prize for powerful dynasties.
Today, it is the best place to see Italy at its most cosmopolitan and stylish. |
