Milan

Little more than a village in 590 B.C. with the name of Medhelan was conquered by the Romans who crippled the name in Mediolanum and made it grow to become the capital of the Western Roman Empire. It was then conquered by the French, then by the Spanish and finally by the Austrians always remaining at the center of the economic events of the peninsula.

Economic engine over time has become fashion capital where names like Armani, Krizia, Prada have their headquarters. Wandering through the streets of Milan, and not only those of the center, allow a unique experience: small shops alternate with more popular brands giving emotions.

And how not to get involved in the culture. There are 70 museums in the city: from the oldest, the Pinacoteca Ambrosiana, where Leonardo’s Codex Atlanticus is kept, to the latest arrival on the scene, the Museum of Illusions.
