Milan is Italy’s cultural, industrial and financial center, it is also one of the main fashion centers in the world and the second biggest city in Italy. But probably what has made this city famous is its design and architecture. Business hub and crucible of chic, Milan is Italy’s most populous and prosperous city, serving as the capital of commerce, finance, fashion, and media. It’s a city with many important museums and wonderful monuments.

Gallery Vittorio Emanuele The mountains, majestic, seem to be to its doors: Milan is in those moments a mountain city. But if the look to the skilful side of the public square is turned, watching from the door the Gallery is picked Vittorio Emanuele. The wall on which it is opened, has the colour of dirty wall. The plague that mine the city and its inhabitants is now the modern step of race, that it impregnates the injurious gas air and impurities in the heavy foggy summery days and those winter ones. The atmosphere collaborates with changing of the organisation of the society to a continuous evolution.

The Galleria Vittorio Emanuele is in reality a covered street. The gallery has a Latin cross plant, and connects the Piazza Duomo with Piazza della Scala. A big triumph Arch welcomes us in the Piazza Duomo to the gallery, let’s get inside…
milan- cathedral One of the largest Gothic cathedrals in the world – the Duomo – dominates Milan’s central square, the Piazza del Duomo. More than 500 years in the making (work began in 1386), it is an intricate and awe-inspiring building and a tribute to the five centuries of artists, artisans, architects, builders and engineers who created it. Climb up to the roof for a stunning view over Milan.This important Neo-Classical monument in Milan was originally built to celebrate Napoleon’s victories and was to be called the Arch of Victories. Construction started in 1807 and the building work was interrupted with the designs changed to commemorate the peace of 1815 instead. Work was eventually resumed in 1826 and the monument was subsequently renamed the Arch of Peace. In 1838 the arch was inaugurated at the coronation of Ferdinand I as ruler of the Lombardy / Veneto region. The arch is situated in north-west Milan and is covered Crevola marble. On the top is a huge bronze named the “Chariot of Peace”, which consists of a chariot and four horses. There are also wonderful views of the Castello and Corso Sempione.
The City Museum: to visit its rooms is to journey through centuries of art and history, from the Bronze Age up to the Renaissance.Santa Giulia is one of the most impressive High Medieval complexes in Northern Italy. The monastery was founded in 753 A.D., by order of the Lombard King Desiderio, on the remains of a Roman-era residence. It sustained numerous alterations in the centuries that followed, which enlarged and enriched the original structure. Tradition holds that in the church of Santa Giulia, Ermengarda, daughter of King Desiderio, was tragically repudiated by her husband, Charlemagne.

The Theatre La Scala, constructed from Giuseppe Piermarini in the 1776-78 is the more famous of Italy and between, musically speaking, the more greater in the world. It appears to the escape of the Gallery, on the side western North of the public square, faced from the monument to Leonardo from Vinci. The entire building was destroyed from the strafing and reconstructed in the 1945-46. The facade was restored in the 1983.
