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!
