| Speedate (Night - Single Party) 24/07/2008 Milano Speed Date® è un'idea, un gioco organizzato per far incontrare uomini e donne, un nuovo modo di comunicare e di farsi nuovi amici, fino a 25 persone in una sola serata. Nessun requisito è richiesto ... anzi sì. Essere se stessi.Giocare è facile. È necessaria una semplice iscrizione. Una volta effettuata la registrazione, prima dell'incontro sarà inviata una mail di avvenuta registrazione e qualche giorno prima dell'evento arriverà una mail con orario e luogo di svolgimento della serata. L'iscrizione non è vincolante: la quota di partecipazione viene pagata direttamente in loco (e quindi solo se effettivamente si partecipa) e la prenotazione si può disdire in qualunque momento telefonando o scrivendo una mail. All'arrivo al locale, ad ogni persona partecipante al gioco é assegnato un numero identificativo, una "scheda di gradimento" e la drink card, un buono del locale valido per una consumazione (può variare in base al locale). Uomini e donne siedono, in tavolini da due, l'uno di fronte l'altra, per parlare, scambiarsi battute, cogliere la prima impressione. Allo scadere del tempo, gli uomini scalano di un posto, tutti pronti per un nuovo incontro. In questo modo, dopo circa un'ora e mezza, ogni giocatrice avrà parlato con ciascun giocatore e viceversa (NB: il regolamento prevede un massimo di 25 incontri a prescindere dal numero di partecipanti presenti). Tra un incontro e l'altro, ogni partecipante segna sulla propria "scheda di gradimento", un "SI" o un "NO" accanto al numero della persona appena conosciuta. Al termine della serata, raccoglieremo le schede e verificheremo gli incroci di gradimento dei partecipanti: se "l'incontro funziona" (se il sì è reciproco) invieremo entro 72 ore alle persone “abbinate” (alla casella di posta elettronica o via sms al numero di cellulare indicati al momento dell'iscrizione) i rispettivi indirizzi e-mail/numeri di cellulare ed i nomi di battesimo.

Milan Travel Guide Milan Travel Guide and Milan Travel Information - TravelPuppy.com Milan (Milano), situated on the flat plains of the Po Valley, and is the capital of Lombardy and Italy’s richest and second largest city. Wealthy and cosmopolitan, the Milanesi enjoy a reputation as successful businesspeople, equally at home overseas and in Italy. Embracing tradition, sophistication and ambition all in equal measures, they are just as likely to follow opera at La Scala as their shares on the city’s stock market or their chosen football team, AC or Inter Milan, at the San Siro Stadium. Milan is better known for being new and fashionable, and has never willingly thrown out the old. Three times in its history, the city had to rebuild after conquest by foreign invaders. Founded in the seventh century BC by Celts, the city, then known as Mediolanum (‘mid-plain’), was first sacked by the Goths in the 600s (AD), then by Barbarossa in 1157 and finally by the Allies in World War II, when over a quarter of the city was flattened. Milan had to make an art of recovery, successively reinventing herself under French, Spanish and then Austrian rulers from 1499 until the reunification of Italy in 1870. It is a miracle that so many historic treasures still exist, including Leonardo da Vinci’s Last Supper, which survived a direct hit in World War II. The Milanesi’s appreciation of tradition includes a singular respect for religion, to the extent that they even pay a special tax towards the Cathedral maintenance. It is therefore fitting that the city’s enduring symbol is the gilded statue of the Virgin, on top of the Cathedral (Il Duomo). The layout of the city is best understood as a historic nucleus around the Cathedral and from which a star-shaped axis of arteries spreads through modern suburbs to the ring road. The modern civic centre lies to the northwest, around Mussolini’s central station, and is dominated by the Pirelli skyscraper, which dates from 1956 and is one of the first skyscrapers in Italy. The trade and fashion fairs take place in the Fiera district, west of the nucleus around the Porta Genova station. Milan’s economic success was founded at the end of the 19th century, when the metal factories and the rubber industries moved in, replacing agriculture and mercantile trading mainly in silk, as the city’s main sources of income. Milan’s position at the heart of a network of canals, which provided the irrigation for the Lombard plains and the important trade links between the north and south, became less important as industry took over and the waterways were filled in to make way for roads. A few canals remain in the Navigli district near the Bocconi University, a fashionable area in which to drink and listen to jazz and other live music, especially during the warm summers of Milan’s typically continental climate. Since the 1970s, Milan has remained the capital of Italy’s automobile industry and its financial markets, but the limelight is dominated by the fashion houses, who, in turn, have drawn media and advertising agencies to the city. Milan remains the marketplace for Italian fashion. Fashion aficionados, supermodels and international paparazzi descend upon the city twice a year for its spring and autumn fairs, while the world looks on. Valentino, Versace and Armani may design and manufacture their clothes elsewhere but Milan, which has carefully guarded its reputation for flair, drama and creativity, is Italy’s natural stage. _____________Milan Nightlife Milan Nightlife - TravelPuppy.com The nightlife is vibrant as one would expect in a young cosmopolitan Milan. The evening starts with the passegiata, a cultural institution itself in Italy and where everyone dresses in the smartest clothes, ‘walks out’ – strolling up and down central streets in order ‘to see and be seen’. Centres of the passegiate vary in Milan but the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II and the pedestrian zones of the city along the Via Dante are good areas to go and observe. The modern European feature of Milan is the profusion of restaurants and bars, which catch clients for the whole evening and where it is possible to dine leisurely or just sit over an aperitivo or a bottle of wine. The trend is to move on during the night, visiting two or three locales, thereby demonstrating social savvy and bella figura. The Navigli district around the canals in the southwest of Milan is one of the best locations for bars and cafés, extending up to Porta Ticinese. North of the Cathedral, the area around the Brera offers many pleasant boutique cafés, clubs and restaurants. Many bars and restaurants stay open until late (0100 hrs), after which the energetic move on to the nightclubs and discoteca, which stay open till 0400 hrs (most are closed on Mondays). The legal drinking age is 16 years. Expect to pay €6 for a bottle of wine in a bar and at least €7.50 for entry to clubs. Entertainment listings for Milan are available online at www.corriere.it and www.hellomilano.it. The newspapers Corriere della Sera published on Wednesday and La Repubblica, published on Thursday, also supply listings, as does the tourist offices, Spettacoli Milano and Mese Milano. Bars Coffee drinking throughout the day is a quick-fix for the business community and only the serious shoppers settle down for coffee and wonderful pastries. Between 1800hrs and 2100hrs, cafés and bars come into their own as the afterwork crowds seek out the perfect aperitivo, as well as the best place to see and be seen. Some bars offer free finger food with aperitives. Classic cocktails often involve Prosecco (dry or sweet sparkling wine) or Campari. Drinks range in price between €4-9. Dieci (10) Corso Como, Corso Como 10, with its slightly oriental slant to decorations is one of the ottest bars in Milan, as is the Victoria Café located in the financial district, Via Clerici 1. Il Gattopardo Café, Via Piero della Francesca 17 in a deconsecrated church in the upwardly mobile northwest of the city centre is still the haunt of the idle rich, booking in advance is essential. The Garden Bar of the Sheraton Diana Majestic, Viale Piave 2 is the place to visit during warm weather, especially during Milan fashion weeks. In the Navigali district, La Biciclette, Conca del Navigalo 10, with its monthly changing display of artwork, attracts an extremely varied group and the the buffet is a classic. ATM in a refurbished former tram station, Bastioni di Porta Volta, north of the Duomo, is often considered the city’s best bar, frequented by an artistic crowd and certainly somewhere to check out the forefront of Milanese fashions. Casinos There are no licensed casinos in Milan. Clubs The Black, Via Canonica (telephone number: 02 3360 3907) with its retro science fiction feel has taken over from Killer Plastic, Viale Umbria 120 (telephone number: 02 733 996) as the place to go for Italian house and techno music, although the latter remains very popular. Hollywood Rythmoteque, Corso Como 15 (telephone number: 02 659 8996) remains popular with the glamorous crowd, especially on Sundays. Café L'Atlantique, Viale Umbria 42 (telephone number: 02 5519 3925) begins with aperitivi and later becomes an very popular club into the early hours with hip-hop and house music is featured on Thursday and Friday evenings and more commercial music on Saturday and Sunday. The Shocking Club, Bastioni di Porta Nuova 12 (telephone number: 02 8656 4650) reopened early in 2002 with a new minimalist decor. The club lives up to its name, especially on Wednesday evenings with its outrageous theme nights. Large clubs (up to 2000) include Propaganda, Via Castelbarco 11 (telephone number: 02 5831 0682) and Alcatraz, Via Valtellina 21 (telephone number: 02 6901 6352) a refurbished industrial building which includes two dancefloors, two performance spaces, three bars and a pub. As this is Milan, one should always dress to impress for any club or disco. More clubs are introducing a pay-as-you-leave system where you are given a ticket (tessera) at the door which is punched when you use the cloakroom or buy drinks or food and the fine for losing one's tessera is usually exorbitant. The Milanese usually go clubbing midweek, weekends are when large numbers from the outlying suburbs come into Milan to party. Live music Rolling Stone, Corso XXII Marzo 32 (telephone numberl: 02 733 172) is very much Milan’s temple of rock during the week with dancing on Fridays and Saturday evenings. Scimmie, Via Ascanio Sforza 49 (telephone number: 02 8940 2874) still manages to maintain its reputation as the place for jazz in the heart of the Navagali district, although there are many blues and world music concerts these days. In the same area, Blues House, Via S Uguzzone 96 (telephone number: 02 2700 3621) is equally popular both with locals and visitors. Tangram, Via Pezzotti 52, is excellent for rock and blues, and Tunnel, Via Sammartini 30, is a good venue for indie music. All the major bands and solo artists include Milan on their tours, usually playing either at the FilaForum stadium, Via di Vittorio 6 or PalaVobis Music Village, Via Sant’Elia 33 (telephone number: 02 542 754), close to Lampugnano. ________- Milan Culture Guide Milan Culture Guide - TravelPuppy.com Milan’s cultural scene boasts some diverse and interesting offerings for classical purists, and for those interested in the avant-garde. A visit to La Scala will never be forgotten and should be top of the list for foreign visitors. Italian speakers should not ignore the stage too, as the Teatro Piccolo offers excellent performances all year round and has become one of Milan's best-known cultural institutions next to La Scala. Listings are best obtained from the pullout in the Corriere della Sera on Wednesdays. The free monthly information programme, Milano Mese, in Italian, has listings and is available from the tourist information office and most hotels. The English language HelloMilan and Milan Where, When, How are available free from bars, hotels, and the Duomo tourist office.

All performances have been transferred to the new Teatro degli Archimboldi. Hopefully, La Scala will reopen on 7 December 2004, the beginning of the 2004 opera season. The Teatro degli Archimboldi is a new theatre built by the City of Milan in collaboration with Pirelli. Its large capacity means there are about 500 more seats currently available. The new theatre box office opens two hours before performances start at 2000 hrs. The Museo Teatrale alla Scala has moved to Palazzo Busca, Collegio San Carlo, Corso Magenta 71. The main ticket office remains under the Piazza Duomo, admittance from the stairs of the Duomo Metro and opening times are 1200 hrs-1800 hrs daily.

This train departs 20 minutes and 40 minutes after performances. Opening hours: Usually two hours before the performance. Admission: depends on the performance and seats available. Milan’s respected symphony orchestra, the Orchestra Verdi (telephone number: 02 8338 9201), was founded in 1993 and conducted by Riccardo Chailly and frequently performs concerts in the Auditorium di Milano, Corso San Gottardo. Performances take place on Thursday and Friday at 2030 hrs and on Sunday afternoon at 1600 hrs . Tickets cost €18-50. Another venue for classical concerts is the Conservatorio Giuseppe Verdi, Via Conservatorio 12. Tickets for the Cantelli Orchestra (telephone number: 02 655 391 ), which plays at the Conservatory, and cost from €18. Theatre Milan has become a driving force behind Italian drama since the foundation of the Teatro Piccolo by Giorgio Strehler and Paolo Grassi during 1947. The company puts on a broad repertory of international, classical and experimental drama in three different theatres. Audiences can choose between programmes for the Teatro Grassi, Via Rovello, the experimental theatre Teatro Studio, Via Rivoli, and the new Teatro Strehler, Largo Greppi. The box office is at Via Rovello 2 (telephone number: 02 7233 3222). Dance The home of classical ballet in Milan is also at La Scala (see Music above), which is also the venue for its renowned ballet school, the Scuola di Ballo del Teatro alla Scala, Via Verdi 1 (telephone number: 02 877 995). CRT (Centro di Ricerca per il Teatro) at Teatro dell’Arte, Viale Alemagna 6 is Milan’s main advocate for contemporary dance, organising performances and festivals like Short Formats Festival during May which investigates all the latest trends in European dance. Film Italians share a great passion for the cinema and Milan’s city centre has over twenty cinemas. Luchino Visconti’s masterpiece Rocco and His Brothers (1960), starring Alain Delon, was filmed extensively in and around Milan and along the Naviglio Grande. The Corso Vittorio Emanuele area is a good spot for cinemas with the latest releases, such as Ambasciatori (telephone number: 02 7600 3306). For art movies, Cineteca Museo, Palazzo Dugnani, Via Manin 2/A (telephone number: 02 655 4977), is a good option and English-language films are shown on Monday at Anteo, Via Milazzo 9. On Tuesday at Arcobaleno, Viale Tunisia 11 (telephone numberl: 02 2940 6054, and on Thursday at Cinema Centrale, Via Torino 30 (telephone number: 02 874 826). Milan has not been a particularly popular film location. This is partly due to the great old buildings being part of a modern cityscape rather than being in isolation as it is in Rome, and partly to Italian post-war neo-realism with its emphasis on the south of the country. Vittorio De Sica's socially conscious fairy tale, Miracolo a Milano (Miracle in Milan, 1950) includes fantasy elements like the boy Toto being found in a cabbage patch, with angels and a dove which grants wishes, against a story of poor squaters fighting eviction by a rich landowner. Lichino Visconti's Rocco e i Suoi Fratelli (Rocco and His Brothers, 1960) describes the problems of a very poor Sicilian farming family who move into Milan; although primarily set in the northern industrial suburb of Bovisa, there are scenes in the centre of the city including a dramatic one near the outside top of the Duomo. There was a brief revival of interest in Milan in the 1980s, although most films merely had small sections where the characters were leaving Milan for somewhere else, as in the 1989 film Marrakech Express. Michele Sordillo's Acquario (late 1990s) is a triptych of stories concerning love, care for the aged and problems arising from having someone stay in one's apartment. Renato Castellani's 1982 superb docu-drama The Life of Verdi (the Italian edition is simply called Verdi) has many accurate reconstructions of 19th century Milan and Venice. The 580 minute programmes were made by European television companies and have since been released on video. Cultural Events Milan always has a series of events and minor festivals going on somewhere in and around the city. For information, the Commune of Milan (Municipality of Milan) regularly updates its website. There are usually a number of jazz, theatre and dance spectacles to be found around the city during the summer months, particularly during July. Visitors to Milan should not ignore the religious festivals, as these traditional festivals are often Milan’s best-loved and most charming features. Visitors will discover that the Milanesi are particularly fond of Christmas, kick-starting the celebrations on 7th December with the festival of O Bej, O Bej (since 1288) and finishing with the Procession of the Corteo dei Re Magi on Epiphany, 6 January. The main cultural centre, the Palazzo Triennale, located on the western flank of the Parco Sempione (telephone number: 02 724 3410 ), hosts a major international exposition of the arts every three years, the last was held in 2004 (22nd March-13th June). Literary Notes Modern Milan is a major centre within the publishing industry and not surprisingly retains a keen interest in literature. Visitors to the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II may happily while away a few hours as they explore the bookshops Zanichielli and Ricordi. Academics are sure to head to the Biblioteca Ambrosiana located next to the art gallery, to study the writings of Leonardo da Vinci and other historic texts in its significant collection. Alessandro Manzoni is the best-known Milanese author. His novel, I Promessi Sposi (The Betrothed, 1827), is a tale of two lovers set against times of war and pestilence in Lombardy, during the 1620s. Gabriele D’Annunzio’s early autobiographical novel Il Piacere (The Child of Pleasure, 1898) is a classic of the decadence movement and his poetry is also excellent. Part of Hemingway’s A Farewell to Arms takes place in Milan. Many Italian authors have since ended up in Milan, including the 1959 Nobel literary prize winner Salvatore Quasimodo, a Sicilian poet who is buried in Milan’s Monumental Cemetery. The most important Italian literary event of the year, the Bagutti Prize, originated in Milan’s Bagutti Ristorante (see Restaurants section), Via Bagutti, where the founders of the Literary Review (Fiera Letteraria) used to eat and where they founded the prize in 1925. __________ Milan International Airport Milan International Airport - TravelPuppy.com Milan international airports are links below: Milan Bergamo International Airport (BGA) Orio al Serio is located 48km (28 miles) northwest of Milan and 5km (3 miles) from Bergamo.

The so-called Quadrilateral (Quadrilatero della Moda) of fashion, formed by Via Montenapoleone (‘Montenapo’), Via Sant’Andrea, Via Monzani and Via della Spiga north of the Cathedral, is at the top of the list. Names including Armani, Dolce & Gabbana, Exté, Ferragamo, Gucci, Missoni, Prada, Trussardi, Valentino, Versace and Vuitton read like a veritable ABC of Italian chic. Those lacking the supreme self-confidence to enter such hallowed ground as Gianni Versace’s four floors of couture (on Via Montenapoleone 2) should stick to window-shopping paradise on Via della Spiga, where traffic is banned. L’Armadio de Laura, Via Voghera 25, has some good offbeat thrift and end-of-season returns. For the top names in design and furniture the streets to the north (close to the Quadrilateral in Corso Matteoti, Via Durini and Via Manzoni) are best, although quite expensive. Alternatively go to the district around the Brera – once the haunt of artists who have now been priced out by the exclusive boutiques and art galleries. The pedestrian Via Fiori Chiari is a particularly good spot for browsing galleries, with a number of excellent cafés along the way. The area is also popular with antique dealers, especially on the third Saturday of each month (not in August), when stalls are set up along the road. Antique fairs are also popular at the weekends around the Naviglio Grande, along the banks of the canal. South of the Cathedral and going towards the university area and the Porta Ticinese, prices fall as high fashion makes way for casual and sporting fashion. Distinctly less sophisticated but still very trendy, the area between the Porta Ticinese and the Universita Statale is popular with students. Via Torino, leading southwest from Piazza del Duomo, is a great place to pick up fashion items for children. Outside the historic centre, fashion outlets are able to move into even bigger premises and include, Corso Buenos Aires (north), Corso Vercelli (west) and Corso XXII Marzo (east) are runners up for fashion shopping. Clothes, luggage, hats, shoes, accessories and sports fashions are generally high quality and good value in Milan, although not very cheap. Stockhouse, Via Montegani 7 (telephone number: 02 8951 3951) is a good discount store; others are listed on the Corriere della Sera’s website, where the shopping pages (Il mondo degli outlet) detail outlets and bargains (spacci e occasioni). For the ultimate shopping experience, English-speaking consultants are available from Travel Media Consulting, at €60 for two hours and €30 for each additional hour (telephone number: 02 5831 2696), to guide and help carry purchases. For those who prefer the bustle of street markets, Viale Papiniano (metro San Agostino) is open all day Saturday, while Via Zivetti (metro Centrale FS) and is open on Wednesday mornings. The flea market, Fiera di Senigallia, takes place along the Darsena basin on Saturdays between 0830 hrs and 1700 hrs. The flower market sets up on Sunday mornings in Piazetta Reale (March-June and September-December). The winter sales start during the second week of January and the summer sales start in the second week of July. Most shops open 0930 hrs -1300 hrs and 1530 hrs -1930 hrs, although the bigger stores stay open all day. Most shops close on Sunday and reopen on Monday afternoons, except food stores, which reopen on Monday morning but close again for the afternoon. However, many shops open daily during the Christmas season and major bookshops are open until 2300 hrs. Many shops close for most of August. Sales tax varies between 12 and 14 per cent, depending on the value of goods purchased. Non-EU citizens should retain receipts for goods over €154.90 from a single store to reclaim their VAT (IVA), although this is a drawn-out process and visitors may prefer to purchase gifts at the Duty Free shops, where the equivalent of VAT is automatically deducted from the cost ______________ Milan Tours - Excursions Milan Tours Guide - TravelPuppy.com Walking tours The APT Information Office, Piazza Marconi 1 (telephone number: 02 7252 4300), runs a walking tour every Monday, which starts at 1000 hrs from the APT office.

Advance reservations for the bus tour are not possible and visitors should simply turn up at the tourist information office on Via Marconi 1, off Piazza del Duomo, beforehand and buy tickets (€40) prior to departure, which is daily at 0930 hrs. The tour lasts three hours and includes the Cathedral, Sforza Castle and entrances to The Last Supper, the Brera National Gallery and the Scala Museum. Tram Tours Reproductions of sepia photographs showing Milan’s trams are common in Milan’s restaurants and bars. One of the more charming ways to get to know the city centre is by taking the restored 1920s no 20 tram (‘Ciao Milano’), managed by the private company STAB (telephone number: 02 3391 0794). The tram departs from Piazza Castello on a circuit that takes just under two hours. It is an ideal form of transport for getting to the Cathedral, The Last Supper, the Piazza della Scala and the Brera.

The tours are not available the second and third weeks of August. Excursions for half day Certosa di Pavia The Carthusian Monastery of Pavia (e-mail: certosapavia@libero.it ) is a living museum, an architectural treasure box containing prized artworks and is run by the monks who produce excellent Chartreuse liqueurs. It is Located 140km (87 miles) south of Milan, 40km (25 miles) from the city of Pavia, in an idyllic setting, the monastery is reachable by bus or train. Hourly buses leave the Piazza Castello and the monastery is a 15-minute walk from the bus stop. Regular trains (headed for Genoa) depart from Milano Centrale. The Certosa di Pavia is a 15-minute walk (skirting the Certosa walls) from the station. Duke Gian Galeazzo Visconti ordered the monastery’s construction in 1396, the same year as Milan’s Cathedral, as a monument to the Visconti dynasty. The Cistercian monks conduct tours, in return for voluntary donations to the order, showing the cloisters, cells and beautiful frescoes by Pietro Perugino and Bergognone. The ornate marble façade by Amadeo is a masterpiece, famous throughout Italy. The monastery is open Tuesday to Sunday 0900 hrs -1130 hrs and 1430 hrs-1800 hrs. For a Whole Day Bergamo Only 43km (27 miles) from Milan, the walled hilltop town of Bergamo is an wonderful place with a wealth of medieval, Renaissance and Baroque architecture. Visitors should avoid the lower town (Bergamo Bassa) and instead head for the Piazza Vecchia in the heart of the upper town (Bergamo Alta), with the Palazzo della Ragione, restaurants, shops and the Torre della Civica (ascended by lift). In the nearby Piazetta del Duomo, the Cathedral is overshadowed by the Romanesque church of Santa Maria Maggiore, which includes a 19th-century memorial to the native composer, Gaetano Donizetti (whose museum is also worth a visit). The best views are from the Castello on the summit of San Vigilio. The Accademia Carrara, at the bottom of the plateau on the eastern side, is one of Italy’s finest art galleries, beautifully laid out and featuring important art from the middle ages to the 20th century. Open Wednesday to Monday 0930 hrs-1230 hrs and 1430 hrs-1730 hrs, admission to the gallery is €2.58.

Other events include the Feast of Sant’Antonio Abate, which includes the blessing of carts and farming tools (17th January), Bergamo’s summer festival, Estate vivi la tua città (June-September), and an antique market on the third Sunday of every month. The holiday of the city’s patron saint is held on 26th August includes a huge fresh produce and livestock market. Trains run from Milan (Porto Garibaldi or Lambrate), with the last train leaving Bergamo at about 2230 hrs, allowing enough time to enjoy an excellent meal in the upper town. It is best to go straight uptown, either by bus 1 or 3 from outside the station (one can go all the way, or get off at the funicular stop on Via Vittorio Emanuele II, which is free with a bus ticket). APT Bergamo, Viale Vittorio Emanuele 20, Bergamo (telephone number(035) 210 204; fax number(035) 230 184; e-mail: aptbg@apt.bergamo.it;) provides further information. Bellagio The picturesque mountain and lake setting of Bellagio is an great tonic for the city weary. Located 50km (31 miles) north of Milan, visitors must have a car, unless taking a train to Como and then catching one of the boats from Piazza Cavour quay. The town enjoys fantastic views and a temperate microclimate – hence the luxury villas nestling around its narrow streets. The Villa Serbelloni, owned by the Rockefeller Foundation, has wonderful terraced gardens, while the neo-classical Villa Melzi, where Franz Liszt and Stendhal once stayed, has beautiful landscaped gardens. The villas are open March to October and guided tours are available in English daily at 1100 hrs and 1600 hrs.

| Milan Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see Il Duomo Il Duomo Monica Garcia-Blizzard Milan is the biggest city of North Italy. The powerhouse of the country and one of the most stylish cities of the planet. But it is also a city with many important museums and wonderful monuments. See the Castello Sforzesco the Church of Santa Maria delle Grazie (which displays Leonardo’s Last Supper) the Brera Museum (Madonna and Child and Pieta by Bellini) and many other museums monuments and churches. Moreover, Milan is a lively city, with several pubs, discos and nightclubs. Being a fashion capital too, you might run into a top model or designer. The best chances are in the area around Brera (the artist zone) or the Navigli area. And if you have money to spend, just make a visit in via Montenapoleone and via della Spiga where you’ll find boutiques by Gucci, Ferragamo, Valentino, Armani, Ferre, Fendi and others. Look for other famous designer labels and items such as shoes, camelhair blankets and leather goods. Near Milan are two must-sees (both can be visited in a day trip): the Carthusian Monastery of Pavia and the 12th-century Chiaravalle Abbey (founded by St. Bernard of Cistercian). Two hours outside of Milan in Pessione is the museum of the history of wine making which has a fine collection of wine-making equipment Imperial glass receptacles and Etruscan and Apuleian ceramics. and the man who made that Part or or all of this text stems from the original article at: www.world66.com __________________Sights Edit This A view of the Catsello Sforzesco A view of the Catsello Sforzesco Giorgio Baresi You thought Milan was only a commercial and industrial city for businessmen? Surprise! Here you can find so many interesting and wonderful masterpieces that it is hard to imagine! Just begin at the city centre, where the huge Duomo appears in all its magnificence. This is the Cathedral and the symbol of Milan, with its golden statue "La Madonnina", which is inside the heart of every inhabitant. Then, you have the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, a covered and elegant gallery with restaurants and bookstores. If you enter it from Piazza del Duomo, you'll exit in Piazza della Scala where the world known Teatro alla Scala appears. This is the centre of lyric opera and it is not difficult to meet here important artists like Riccardo Muti, who is the conductor of the local orchestra. You can make a tour in the nearby, from Via Manzoni to Via della Spiga and via Montenapoleone, the heart of the Fashion. When you arrive in the heart of Brera, the place of the artists, full of locals and pubs, visit the Pinacoteca. Along Via Manzoni there is also the Poldi Pezzoli, another very important museum of Milan. Towards Piazza Sant'Ambrogio, one of the most fascinating places of the whole city, you can admire the Basilica di Sant'Ambrogio in Romanesque style, dedicated to the Saint patron of Milan. In the nearby there is the Catholic University, former monastery of the Abbey. From here you can begin a walking tour along Via San Vittore. On the left of the street, you'll find the Museo della Scienza e della Tecnica - Leonardo Da Vinci, an important museum which collects fundamental signs of the technological progress of humanity and which is dedicated to the genius of Leonardo. Not far from here, there is the church of Santa Maria delle Grazie where you will find the art of Bramante. In the refectory, the famous Cenacolo (Last Supper) painted by Leonardo appears in all its magnificence. The restoration of this fresco has just finished after many years of hard work due to the fact that Leonardo experimented a new technique when he painted his masterpiece and this has created severe problems of conservation. The Last Supper is part of the Unesco World Heritage. As you can see, the list of the sights not to miss in Milan seems endless. It is really difficult to list all of them, but certainly you cannot miss the Castello Sforzesco whose central tower (Torre del Filarete) dominates one of the most common and beautiful landscapes in Milan. The castle is situated in the Parco Sempione, opposite to the Arco della Pace dedicated to Napoleon. The construction of this castle was decided under the rule of the Visconti, but it is thanks to the Sforza family if the castle reached the grandiosity you can still admire today. So, maybe the best way to get to know Milan is simply to make a walking tour and just look at all the beautiful buildings and sights you can find everywhere. Or simply take a public bus and look outside the window. Milan is there for you!

The gloomy interior holds, among other objects, the golden statue "La Madonnina" which is the main attraction inside and as well in the heart of every inhabitant.
