Through light green haze, a rolling sea
Over gardens where redundance flows,
The fat old plain of Lombardy,
The White Cathedral shows
Of art the miracles.
Its tribe of pinnacles
Gleam like the ice-peaks snowed; and higher,
Erect upon each airy spire
In concourse without end,
Statues of saints over saints ascend
Like multitudinous forks of fire.
From Milan Cathedral by Herman Melville
Italians think of Milan as the city of business.
Non-Italians think of it as the city of fashion shopping.
Both descriptions are correct, but there is much more in Milan than just that.
- Pros:Art, shops, nightlife
- Cons:Too many cars, too few parking places
- In a nutshell:Give it a try: you will like it

Beautiful photo of the Duomo!!!
I agree that there is much more in Milan than just business and shopping. I had a great time there riding around on a bicycle and going to the opera (at the notorious Teatro alla Scala) and ballet (at the great new Teatro degli Archimboldi).
that is one amazingly beautiful cathedral!!!
I downloaded the menu for the restaurant Bice, I will be drooling for another two months before i enter it's doors! great review. Sararosa
Great tips! I'd love to return to Milan and try these out!
