Milan is financially the most important city in Italy and the region of Lombardy (Italian: Lombardia). It is one of the fashion capitals of the world: a paradise for shopping, opera, and nightlife.If Rome represents the "old" Italy, Milan represents the "new" Italy. Milan is the most modern of all Italian cities, and it still keeps most of its past history intact.

Some people have actually fallen in love with Milan at first sight as soon as they set foot on its soil (and inhaled the exhaust of its traffic jams...) but the majority of those who visit Milan feel betrayed by its fast-paced work ethic. Hold it! Milan is not inhumane, certainly not more than any other city of its size and wealth, and it does have a very long history and rich cultural traditions.

Our itinerary starts off from the heart of the luxury shopping in Milan: Via Montenapoleone, Via della Spiga and Via Sant'Andrea, elegant streets that together with Via Manzoni, Via Borgospesso and Via Santo Spirito are the outer limits of the famous Fashion District. In this square area luxury is the true protagonist. Dazzling jewels created by the most famous name, clothes and accessories to die for, to be owned and flaunted, shoes that are works of art. Everything reeks of ostentation and the splendor of a chic, fashionable lifestyle. Many tourists come to the showrooms and come out full of parcels, because Italian fashion continues to attract and fascinate the whole world, and Milan is the most representative symbol of all this.

Art in Milan is a painting gallery of Italian painters from Milan. This site provides images of paintings in diffrent styles: realistic oil paintings, landscapes, abstract expressionism and erotic art.
