Our trip to Milan, Lombardy was part of the Blogville project where we stayed in a local apartment and experienced all of the best cultural activities, museums, restaurants, arts and entertainment the city has to offer. This city guide is our best attempt to create a mix of best attractions and off-the-beaten-path activities that you won't necessarily find in a typical Milan tourism brochure.
20 Things to do in Milan Italy Travel Guide Video Transcript:
Our first stop was Il Duomo, which is the most recognized attraction in the city. The cathedral took nearly six centuries to complete.
So we've sat down at a little cafe and we're going to have our first Italian breakfast with cappuccino and sweet pastries.
Something that surprised us about Milan is that there is a castle right in the middle of the city. Sforza Castle was built in the 15th century by the Duke of Milan, and it then underwent several restorations and expansions in the following centuries. Today it houses several of the city's most prized art possessions, including frescoes by Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo's very last sculpture.
For some upscale designer shopping, Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II is the place to be.
So we just found a local little restaurant and we're going to be trying a traditional dish that is very popular in this city and in the Lombardy region. We are going to have Risotto alla Milanese.
The Colonne di San Lorenzo are the remains of Roman ruins that date back to the 2nd century. They are believed to have been part of a bath house.
Another fun activity to try in Milan is a boat tour of the canals. The city's canals are attributed to Leonardo Da Vinci, who in 1482 was called over by the Duke of Milan to help renovate the city’s canal system.
Milan's Navigli District is one of the liveliest parts of town especially when the sun goes down for dining al fresco.
So we've gone out for our first Italian Aperitivo. Which is kind of like a pre-dinner drinking tradition. Basically, you get yourself a cocktail for about 10 Euros and that gives you access to this massive buffet.
And that's all for our visit to Milan. We hope this video will give you some cool ideas of sights and attractions to check out.
This is part of our Travel in Italy series showcasing Italian culture, Italian arts, Italian foods & Italian cuisine.

Milan CityLife Mega Project :Italy's $2BN New Futuristic City For 2020
Milan City Life Mega Project : Italy's Newest Futuristic City You Need To See
CityLife in milan or Milano in italian is a residential, commercial and business district under construction situated a short distance from the old city centre of Milan, Italy; it has an area of 36.6 ha.
The development is being carried out by a company controlled by Generali Group, that won the international tender for the redevelopment of the historic neighborhood of Fiera Milano with an offer of €523 million. The project is designed by famous architects Zaha Hadid, Arata Isozaki and Daniel Libeskind.
General project and layout
The project involves the construction of three skyscrapers, with dedicated areas for offices, stores, restaurants and services. The luxury residential area will cover about 164,000 square metres, with around 1,300 apartments (housing about 4,500 people). In addition, more than 50% of the available area, 170,000 square metres are dedicated to green spaces. There will also be underground parking space for around 7,000 vehicles. Further to the existing public transportation network, the CityLife area will be served by a new extension of the metro line 5, with a dedicated station at the centre of the Piazza Tre Torri.
Sustainability
CityLife is equipped with the most advanced alternative energy systems. Its installations mainly use sources such as ground water, district heating, and photovoltaics. The Tre Torri offices have been awarded the prestigious GOLD level LEED™ pre-certification.
CityLife is the largest car-free area in Milan and one of the biggest in Europe. Cars can reach garages and parking areas along an innovative underground road system. A cycle and pedestrian path crosses the area from east to west. Broad avenues lead from the residences to the centre of the district where to find shops, bars and restaurants overlooking the park.
CityLife Park
With an area of about 170,000 square metres, it includes cycling and walking paths. It also completes the group of parks in the north-west of Milan, with Parco Sempione and the park of Porta Nuova Business District. The international competition for the design of the park was proclaimed in 2010 and was won by the architectural studios: Gustafson Porter, Melk, One Works and Ove Arup.
The landscaping design reflects the diversity of the Lombard environment, recreating the differences in height between the mountains and the plain, the two most distinguishing features of the region. 1,500 new trees provide continuity with the variety and biodiversity of the area. It is a huge green space where to walk, play and reconnect with nature.
The south entrance to the new park will be the historic Fountain of the Four Seasons (Fontana delle Quattro Stagioni) in Piazza Giulio Cesare, restored to its splendour and to working order. A little further north a fountain creates a new attraction and evokes the landscapes typical of the Lombard plain.
Podium
The total GLA of the Podium is about 20,000 square metres and includes retail, multiplex cinema, food court. The structure is based on framed schemes, made by steel girders and concrete slabs on folded plates, arranged in a composite structural mechanism. The structure is crossed by a major point of the substructure, so that horizontal stability is achieved by the use of separate systems - combination of concrete cores and steel bracings - for the two halves of the structural body. The columns arrangement has to follow the free-form internal space, and to match with the substructure structural grid. As a result, spans are variable and many areas feature very long spans and cantilevers, which are solved by using truss girders in plane and spatial arrangements. The facade structures must allow free movements of the superstructure and follow the outer skin shape, and are based on vertical frames of variable shape, mostly following hybrid truss and beam schemes.

Places to see in ( Milan - Italy ) Navigli District
Places to see in ( Milan - Italy ) Navigli District
Navigli is the name of the triangle bounded by Milan Naviglio Grande and the Naviglio Pavese which is headed by the Porta Ticinese dock and covering a large part of the southwestern quadrant of the city. Navigli District is a charming district, where you can have a pleasant walk or have an aperitivo Milanese. It is nice in every season to walk there, with a smooth breeze on your face.
There are two canals, which are called Naviglio Grande and the Naviglio Pavese (the word Naviglio itself means the Canal in Italian). Both of them are surrounded by different types of cafés, restaurants, bars, design shops, art galleries etc. Usually what we do is just to start our evening having an aperitivo in Navigli, choosing one random restaurant we’d like to sit and then head to a bar to continue our night-out! Since this district is full of options, it become the first destination.
Only thing you need to do in order to reach there is to take the green line with metro and take off in the stop called Porta Genova, the second alternative is as always the tram if you’d like to enjoy the city sight at the same time in your journey.
There is held the vintage bazaar every last Sunday of the month and if you are lucky you can catch it in your trip as well! It might remind you the northern canal cities like Amsterdam at the first sight. Do whatever you want in this city, but better not miss this enjoyable and cool area full of everything
( Milan - Italy ) is well know as a tourist destination because of the variety of places you can enjoy while you are visiting Milan . Through a series of videos we will try to show you recommended places to visit in Milan - Italy

Roma How To: Ordering Coffee
Hi. Welcome to The Roman Guy How 2 Series. Today, we're going to show you to get the most out of your day trip to Florence.
A lot of people refer to Florence as a city, but it has much more of a small village type feel. It's perfect for a day trip because it's centrally located between Milan, Venice, and Rome, and very easy to get to by fast train. It's an hour from Rome, two hours from Venice, and an hour and 40 minutes from Milan. Think of it this way, it's a three-hour car ride from Rome to Florence or a one-hour train ride.
Our first stop is Accademia which is about 13 minutes by foot from the main train station. Be sure to RSVP tickets to Accademia to see Michelangelo's David. You can call ahead to get the lowest price or book online with one of our partners.
I recommend getting inside by 9:30 AM. Be sure to give yourself at least 30 minutes between your reservation and your train arrival time.
It's heavily debated on what Michelangelo's masterpiece is, but David is an amazing work of art with a great story. After David's completion, Michelangelo was asked why he worked so fast. His response was, I saw an angel trapped in that marble and I carved him until I set him free.
The central market of Florence is about a seven-minute walk from Accademia. In Italian, it's referred to as il Mercato Centrale. It's a great place to grab a coffee, some fruit or snacks to keep you going all day.
After the central market, you should head to Brunelleschi's Cathedral, which is Florence's central focal point. You'll hear the massive cathedral being referred to as il Duomo. It's recognized for its captivating color scheme, bronze doors, and magnificent cupola, or dome. The cathedral took over a hundred years to build and was consecrated in 1436 during the height of the Florentine Renaissance.
Right in Piazza del Duomo is a great artisanal gelato shop called Gelato Edoardo Bio. It's family-owned, organic, and has recipes that are over a hundred years old.
The Basilica of Santa Croce, is not only a beautiful church but the final resting place of Michelangelo and Galileo. One of the best parts about Santa Croce is on the outside. This lively piazza is a people-watchers dream.
There are plenty of outdoor restaurants in Florence but consider La Cantinetta Verrazzano. This is a local favorite and recommendation of one of our guides in Florence.
From here, you should pass by one of Italy's most famous bridges, the Ponte Vecchio or old bridge, famous for its shops physically built into the bridge. Today, most of them sell gold, but they've been selling different artisanal goods here since it was constructed as far back as the 12th century.
Now you're right around the corner from Piazza della Signoria. This square is connected to one of the world's most impressive collections of Renaissance art, the Uffizi Gallery.
Piazza della Signoria is host to a beautiful array of outdoor statues, monuments, and fountains. The most notable building in this square is Palazzo Vecchio which is the Town Hall of Florence.
By now, it should be getting late and you should consider going to All'Antico Vinaio for a Florentine sandwich.
On the way to the train station, you should stop by La Fontana del Porcellino. It's a bronze statue of a boar and Florence's most famous piece of folklore. You put a coin in the boar's mouth and let it slide out. If it successfully falls the grate below, it ensures a safe return to Florence. This tradition was documented as early as 1766.
From here, you're only 10 to 15 minutes from the main train station, but by a rule of thumb when in a foreign city, you should try to get there 20 minutes early.

Banksy exhibition opens in Milan
(20 Nov 2018) LEADIN:
An exhibition of the controversial street artist Banksy is opening in Italy, to demonstrate his importance to to the contemporary art scene.
It'll be the first time his work will have been displayed in a public museum - the Museum of Cultures in Milan.
STORYLINE:
The artist Banksy may be a man of mystery; but his work is becoming increasingly well-known.
Now a new exhibition at the MUDEC Museum in Milan aims to reveal more about him.
Banksy's art, which has become famous worldwide, is well-known for its anti-capitalist messages, such as Sale Ends Today.
Here, semi-religious figures kneel down before the sale sign, apparently pleading for discounts.
Also known as a prankster, Banksy recently attracted attention when one of his works shredded itself at an auction at Sotheby's in London, moments after being sold for 1.04 million pounds (1.4 million US dollars).
Banksy fans appreciated the joke, which garnered new publicity for the artist and his views.
The exhibit's curator Gianni Mercurio says it boosted his reputation.
It was an explosion not only in terms of the general public, but he also changed something in the so-called establishment of contemporary art, which has always considered street artists, and Banksy together with them, I don't want to say artists in the second league, but sons of a lesser god. This performance and the explosion of prices of Banksy's works has gathered interest from certain mechanisms and people in the art system that had snubbed him up until now.
For art historian and Banksy expert, Maria De Giorgio, the artist's latest performance has increased his market value.
He is in some way playing with the market to make the buyer a little more conscious. The buyer should learn to be less sensitive to the rules the market puts in action.
Through action or artwork, Banksy's love of satire is clear - through his reference to artists like Andy Warhol or Keith Haring - or his alternative still life paintings, such as Still Life With Flies where real flies are glued to the canvas.
Rats also feature in many of Banksy's artworks - demonstrating their capacity for survival.
And many pieces are blatantly political, such as Napalm. Here, Banksy uses Nick Ut's photograph of a young girl injured in the Vietnam war, adding Mickey Mouse and Ronald McDonald to the picture.
The exhibit features 80 works from private collections including paintings, sculptures, and prints.
Curator Gianni Mercurio says it's arranged by theme.
This is the first exhibit that is held in a public museum, it is an exhibit that I have tried to structure critically, so with an introduction that brings us back to his references, his roots, from situationism, graffiti in New york from the 80s and the visual protest of the French youth in May 68, explains Mercurio.
He believes the exhibit will give the public a better understanding of street art.
De Giorgio agrees.
This could be an opportunity to approach the entire phenomenon of street art, and understand the value of this art, a value that is strong, social and political. We cannot forget that this is the value art has always had across times: from the very first forms of primitive art, mankind has always left on walls. Today this action may appear a bit less legal to our eyes but artists have always educated, spoken and touched the hearts of people by applying something on walls.
Banksy's street art is also famous for depicting acts of protest, which Mercurio says is influencing other artists.

Soundcloud:
It all started with three young men on an escape trip around Europe two summers ago. First stop Milan, Italy. Sitting on a bench early in the morning, watching the sunrise, they wrote their first song together; Milano Sun. Filled with inspiration they continued to write one new song on every stop they made on their trip. Rome, Paris, Berlin, Vienna.... All songs hailing from that rising sun, the feeling of melancholy and hope you often get when the sun rises early on a summer morning.
Well back home in Sweden they had filled their tape recorded with demos and started work to finalize the songs. Scandinavia is what came out of that trip and in the songs the band explore their relationship to different people and places and long for past events and memories.

Si sa, la vita non è fatta di solo lavoro e studio. Per questo ci siamo presi una piccola vacanza e abbiamo fatto una gita in una delle città più conosciute d’Italia: Milano!
Scopri insieme a noi cosa vedere assolutamente in questa bellissima città…
9 Cose da non perdere a MILANO
1. La stazione di Milano Centrale
Il nostro viaggio inizia qui! Vale la pena soffermarci un attimo sulla stazione di Milano Centrale, una delle più grandi e trafficate d’Italia. È stata costruita nel 1931, in epoca fascista: infatti è molto grande e impotente, secondo lo stile di quel periodo, ma allo stesso tempo mescola Art Déco e Liberty.
Subito fuori dalla stazione trovi il monumento di Pistoletto “la Mela Reintegrata”, un simbolo di unione tra natura e tecnologia: si tratta di una gigantesca mela che è stata “morsa” e poi ricucita, a indicare che la tecnologia, dopo avere aggredito la natura, può diventare eco-sostenibile e salvarla.
(Da non confondere con l’Apple Store di Milano! Uno dei più belli del mondo, e c’è sempre una mela, ma è un po’ diverso…)
2. Il Duomo e la Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II
Tappa obbligatoria a Milano è il Duomo, la chiesa più grande d’Italia! Si trova nella omonima piazza, ed è stato realizzato tra il ‘400 e il ‘500 in stile gotico. Fai una passeggiata sulle sue meravigliose terrazze per vedere da vicino tutte le guglie, i pinnacoli, i bassorilievi e i maestosi archi rampanti.
Sempre in Piazza del Duomo, puoi visitare la bellissima Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, una galleria al coperto realizzata nel ‘800 in stile neo-rinascimentale. Puoi fare shopping nei suoi lussuosi negozi, ammirarne l’architettura elegante, oppure compiere il rito scaramantico del toro!
Infatti, sul pavimento troverai un mosaico con un toro con un buco sulle sue… parti intime. Secondo le tradizione, fare tre giri su questo buco col tallone del piede destro porta fortuna!
3. La Scala
La Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II collega piazza del Duomo con piazza della Scala. Qui troverai il Teatro alla Scala, detto anche semplicemente “La Scala”, uno dei più prestigiosi teatri d’opera a livello mondiale.
È stato costruito verso la fine del ‘700 e ha visto sul suo palco alcuni dei più grandi artisti e compositori d’opera della storia: da Rossini a Donizetti, da Verdi a Puccini. Ma vale la pena visitarlo anche solo per la sua architettura, così splendida che lo scrittore Stendhal l’ha definito “il più bel teatro al mondo”.
4. Il Castello Sforzesco
Poco fuori dal centro storico si trova invece il Castello Sforzesco. Si tratta di una fortificazione di origine medievale, che serviva sia come difesa militare della città che come dimora per i regnanti. Inizialmente vi viveva la famiglia Visconti, poi è passata agli Sforza (e da loro ha preso il nome) quando sono saliti al potere nel ‘400.
Adesso è stato trasformato in un museo, quindi oltre ad ammirarne le mura e i torrioni puoi anche visitare diverse esposizioni permanenti e periodiche.
5. I Navigli
Si tratta di un quartiere di Milano caratterizzato da tanti suggestivi canali. Un volta erano considerati una zona di periferia degradata, ma adesso sono un luogo molto turistico e conosciuto specialmente per la movida notturna. Ma puoi anche farci una passeggiata romantica, un aperitivo all’aperto, o magari una gita in battello sull’acqua!
6. Lo Starbucks Reserve Roastery
Si sa, l’Italia è la patria del caffè, e gli italiani vanno molto fieri della bontà del loro espresso. Quindi, quando la nota catena Starbucks ha annunciato di voler aprire un punto vendita in Italia, il fatto ha sollevato molte polemiche: c’era chi era entusiasta, e chi invece pensava che gli americani volessero insegnarci come fare il caffè!
Ma Starbucks a Milano è qualcosa di unico: un luogo gigantesco, modernissimo e con uno stile affascinante un po’ alla Tim Burton, dove è possibile trovare quasi ogni tipo di caffè al mondo. Qui sicuramente potrai avere un’esperienza diversa dal solito!
7. Il Bosco Verticale
Un’altra attrazione molto suggestiva a Milano è il bosco verticale, nel quartiere Isola: due altissimi palazzi residenziali adornati da più di 2000 tipi diversi di piante. Si tratta di un progetto di riforestazione urbana, ovvero per aumentare il verde nella città.
Poco lontano dal bosco verticale puoi trovare anche piazza Gae Aulenti, moderna e bellissima per il suo gioco di riflessi tra l’acqua della sua fontana e i grattaceli intorno. Da qui puoi avere anche un’ottima visuale dello skyline di Milano.

Milan Tours Video
Milan Tours Video - At first glance, Milan (Milano) can appear like one of the models gracing its catwalks: great bone structure (in the shape of historic and striking new architecture), extravagant taste and no obvious soul. But Milan's style and, yes, substance, are more than skin deep.
Milan is the engine room of the country's economy and home of its stock exchange, yet it isn't driven by tourism. Treasures that survived WWII's extensive damage include its elaborate cathedral, Leonardo da Vinci's The Last Supper, La Scala opera house and Castello Sforzesco. What really sets Milan apart, though, is its creative streak.
Armani, Versace, Prada, Dolce & Gabbana, Pucci, Gucci and many more took off on Milan's runways. Fashionistas make a pilgrimage here to shop at the designers' flagship stores in the Quadrilatero d'Oro (Golden Quad). Boutiques stocking emerging labels, and chic concept shops also line the city's streets, while discount outlets selling samples, seconds and last season's cast-offs are a bargain-hunter's Holy Grail. Milan is also the world capital of furniture and homewares (the beanbag is a Milanese brainchild), and a hub for risk-taking contemporary art. By night there's an avant-garde theatre scene, a fabulous aperitivi scene (extended 'happy hour' with platters of bar food laid on) and hip, hot clubs.
The city is at its hottest -- weather-wise -- in August, when locals take holidays, and many places close; though it can provide a tranquil alternative to the crowded coast.
Fashion and finance aside, Milan's other religion is, of course, calcio (football). The city is home to both AC Milan and Inter, two of Italy's top teams, and passionate crowds pack San Siro stadium on Sunday in season.
The city also harbours some lesser-known attractions such as the Navigli's canal-side cafés and old-fashioned gelaterie (ice-cream shops) and the funky design district of Isola.
If you take the time to get under Milan's skin, chances are you'll find it will get under yours too.

Aerosmith Sweet Emotion
Sweet Emotion is from 'Toys in the Attic' (1975), UCR's #1 ranked Aerosmith album. On Classic Rock DVD, Steven Tyler live showcases his essential rock-star deviance, Joe Perry and Brad Whitford tangled brilliantly, the rhythm section played with a street-wise menace and Jack Douglas captured them just as they were. Walk This Way and Sweet Emotion established their legend, while a scorching cover of Big Ten-Inch Record helped complete their story. Aerosmith have never had a bigger hit, or deserved it more.
Aerosmith‘s Joe Perry emotionally said ‘goodbye’ to 2019! The acclaimed Aerosmith guitarist recently had a bit of fun during one of Aerosmith’s insanely popular residency shows in Las Vegas, Nevada. Although we had reported potential breakups before, it’s excellent to see how committed the boys are to their craft! Forever should they be on the saddle!
Joe Perry wrote the following on Instagram addressing the situation on hand: “Last night was the last show of 2019! Goodbye Las Vegas! See you back here and around the world in 2020!” Source: Alternative Nation
Aerosmith 2020 UK/Europe Tour kicks off in Milan, Italy, at the iDays Festival on June 13, 2020 and culminates in Mönchengladbach, Germanny, on July 27. Aerosmith will also play two arena shows in the UK: The O2 in London and Manchester Arena in Manchester.
The tour forms part of the band’s 50th anniversary and follows their Aerosmith: Deuces Are Wild Las Vegas residency, which kicked off on April 6, 2019 and runs through to June 4, 2020 at the Park MGM.
