Home of
Italy's
stock exchange, an industrial powerhouse and the internationally
accepted arbiter of taste in fashion and design, Milan is a seething
metropolis. At times it can seem brash and soulless but beneath the
veneer is a serious sense of history and place. The grand Gothic
cathedral, the Duomo, lies at the geographical heart of this one-time
Imperial Roman capital, and expresses the love of beauty and power that
still drives the city today. Art collections old and new, unparalleled
shopping, one of
Europe's
biggest trade-fair complexes, sparkling nightlife, the prestige of
opera at La Scala, the mark of Leonardo da Vinci's genius, a religious
addiction to
calcio (football), and endless opportunities to eat
the best of Lombard and Italian food make Milan much more than the
puritanically work-obsessed city it is often portrayed as. The city’s
next big date with destiny is Expo 2015, a world exhibition.
