city Tips

Milano city Life is the city’s latest wonder born from the innovative and forward

thinking look of the city. It is one of the newest redevelopment projects and its three towers,

including a large shopping center are a prominent part of the city’s business district. It

may be reached by the Metro, Line 5 getting off at Tre Torri. It hosts Food, Fashion and Entertainment. Zaha Hadid, Arata Isozaki

and Daniel Libeskind.

Milan is the city that best represents the international face of Italy. Designing in Milan brings us into contact with the most modern face of Italy

We also recommend seeing the

Brera Art Gallery, the castello sforzesco

and the Last supper by Leonardo da Vinci.

Still noteworthy landmarks are the Gae Aulenti square with the Bosco Verticale and the unicredit Pavilion.

Considering more historical places, we suggest visiting the duomo cathedral neighboring Galleria Vittorio Emanuele. The area is full of the most famous stores and restaurants.
