Capital of Northern Italy, Milan is a multiform city, always changing: it is impossible to make a short presentation.
Heterogenous city, rather disordered, it does not reveal itself quickly to its visitors; you must discovered it slowly, with curiosity, patience and attention.
In Milan there is everything: ancient and modern, progress and backwardness, wealth and poverties, culture and subculture, architectonical beauties and ugly thing, a great variety of ideology and social behaviours, a population coming from all the regions of Italy, or better from many countries of Europe and of the whole world. It is a stimulating city, that always has something to teach to those who approach it without superficiality.
City of ancient origins, it is extraordinarily young, projected towards the future with its incredible ability to modify itself and to renew. Over a long time, in its history of more than 2000 years, Milan has been promoter of great social, economic, cultural and political achievements.
Its vital force and its variety make of Milan one of the most pleasant cities of Europe. Milan is a great city, for its dimensions, its economic importance, its culture, its political influence.
