On August 23, 2014, I went from Switzerland back to Italy, into the world-renowned city of Milan (in Italian: Milano), located in the region known as Lombardy:
Visit
A ring-shaped freeway surrounds Milan with an outer, more gridded street layout and an older car-free inner city that consists of sights such as:
- Duomo di Milano (Milan Cathedral)
- Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II (an early shopping mall)
- Monumento a Leonardo da Vinci (statue)
Reflection
This part of the Italy quite impressed me. Not the biggest “Italianophile” but if I had a chance to visit Italy again, I would visit Lombardy again!
I also happened to eat my last truly Italian pasta at a place fittingly called Ciao!
