Things to see and do Grands lacs italiens

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.

This museum is located in the old orphanage of Milan, the Martinitt, located in the Lambrate district (in the suburbs of Milan). More than 2 000 objects, rudimentary or more sophisticated, made in the most diverse materials, make the toy history, from the th century to the present. The museum's curiosity is the rebuilding of the school class that makes the subject of one of the favourite books of Italian children, Cuore, of Amicis de Amicis. A library and educational and entertaining laboratories also allow your children to develop their imagination. Finally, a projection room offers animated films and cartoons… but only in Italian.

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.

Also called "the montagnetta" (the small mountain), this garden was built in 1946 on an artificial hill consisting of the rubble resulting from the bombardment of the city during World war II.

This medieval tower, which dominates the foundations of a th century Roman palace, is an example of how the lords of the Upper Middle Ages affirmed their authority.

Not far from Torino and the Duomo Square, this museum is among the richest in Italy. The Pinacothèque ambrosienne was formed from the private collection of Federico Borromeo (1618), cardinal of Milan and lifeguard of several masterpieces located in the Milanese palaces during the plague that hit the city in 1630 (you will find a detailed description of this plague in the now classical book of Alessandro Manzoni, Les Betrothed).
