While Milan may not be the first city you think of when planning a trip to Italy, it has more than its share of attractions – both cultural and cosmopolitan.  Napoleon was crowned (actually, he crowned himself) inside the Duomo in Milan. Mussolini founded the Fascist party here, and the entire fashion world looks to Milan’s catwalks twice a year for the season’s fashions. Artists Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci, the composer Verdi, the great tenor Enrico Caruso, and designer Giorgio Armani all lived and worked here.  <\/p>\n\n\n

All this, not to mention the considerable wealth generated by its favored commercial position, has left Milan with an abundance of art, cultural, and architectural treasures for you to enjoy<\/a>. We found ourselves in Milan on our recent trip to Italy and had us wondering why we had visited sooner. We were visiting Northern Italy in November<\/a> and enjoyed fall colors, lesser crowds and the occasional rain.  Visiting the Duomo, Milan, and seeing the city from the rooftop was one of our highlights from this trip. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
