Streets squares and districts to visit Milan

Until the th century, the Porta Ticinese district, consisting of a dense network of navigli (canals), was considered the port area of Milan. The Navigli district is one of the most characteristic of Milan. Its bridges and its boxes di ringhiera (typical Milanese houses characterized by internal courtyards surrounded by balconies with flower railings) make us discover the old face of the city, which is now virtually extinct. For the sake of tradition, don't miss a tour at the Vicolo de'Lavandai, a small alley on Naviglio Grande, where you can still see a th century washing machine. In the evening, the Navigli district is very popular with young Milanese people. There are numerous bars, cafés and typical restaurants and, during the summer months, there are bars and terraces along the banks, making Navigli an ideal place for the walk and the dredge.

If the prices of the Montenapoleone street are not adapted to the size of your wallet, not even in a period of balances, you can break up and report to you a memory of the Italian fashion purchased in via Torino. There are some of the most diverse stores including the French brands (Fnac, Celio, etc.). Not far from Torino is the Pinacothèque Ambrosiana, considered one of Italy's richest and one of the most beautiful of Italy. She houses works by Botticelli, Leonardo da Vinci, Raphaël (the Athens School outline), Caravaggio (the Dead Nature), Tiziano…

The axis of Vittorio Vittorio gallery, which leaves from piazza del Duomo, leads directly to piazza della Scala. This was Stendhal's favourite walk, which was disait in mind and in mind. At the exit of the gallery, you arrive at La Scala Square where the Scala theatre, the Temple of lyrical and classical music, rises. At the left of the theatre is the Scala Museum, where you can keep collections of costumes and documents relating to lyrical music. Just opposite La Scala, you can find the Palazzo Marino, the most Beautiful Hotel in the city, which is now the seat of the town hall.

The statue in front of the palace is that of Leonardo da Vinci, who lived for nearly twenty years in the court of Ludovico il Moro.

Milan also has its own little Chinatown: along Via Paolo Sarpi, clothing shops and Asian restaurants follow one after the other. At the beginning of the year, there is no shortage of activities on the occasion of the Chinese New Year.

This artery crosses the medieval Milan and Renaissance, or at least the remaining one: palazzo dei Giuriconsulti (th century) and Palazzo Comunale. The whole of Orefici is also made up of buildings reminiscent of these ancient periods and of which there is little left in Milan.
