MILANO

Hi guys! As I promised you I'll show you the rest of my trip in Milan.

After a beautiful day in the Lake of Como, the day after I went around Milan, which with a sunny day  is a beautiful city! It wasn't the first time for me there, I went with Walter on September 2011 before leaving Italy for 4 months for the USA, and the second time for 24 h last December.

I'm going to show you a mix of these three trips, but most of the pictures are from last Monday.

I had the chance to try the best Calzone with tomato and mozzarella, in Panzerotti Luini, Via di Santa Radegonda, and probably the second best ice cream, after sicilian one of course, in Cioccolati Italiani.

This is the mix..enjoy!

Goodmorning from the Duomo of Milano, situated in Duomo Square in the center of the city. As you know this huge gothic church is the brainchild of about five hundred years of work (1387- 1813)

Piazza degli Affari, next to Piazza Cordusio and to Duomo, symbol of Italian economy and center of Milan Stock Exchange....what's strange???;)

View of the Piazza dei Mercanti from Via dei Mercanti

Piazza dei Mercanti. There is an interesting effects of voices, if you speacking in corner of the square your you can hear your voice from the opposite corner of the square, it says was used as a trick to market traders of the era

Beautiful roof top with central dome of glass and iron of the Vittorio Emanuele II Gallery next to Duomo Square. This Gallery was opened in 1867 for King Vittorio Emanuele II

In the center of the Gallery you can see a bull, the symbol of Turin. The tradition says the bring good luck placing  your foot over the bull's attributes and take a 360 degrees rotation!

Panzerotti Luini, Via di Santa Radegonda, attached to the Rinascente behind the Duomo

Amazing Panzerotto, the typical one is with mozzarella and tomato but you can there are many pthers taste!!! p.s.: pay attention to the crowd, people love Panzerotti from Luini!

View of the Vittorio Emanuele II Gallery, is called also "salotto dei milanesi" for the stylish atmoshpere full of  elegant shops, restaurants and trendy bars

Corso di Porta Ticinese, is at the end of Via Torino, one of main shops street, and is the main corner in which you can find the marvillous Navigli ( system of waterways that connected the lake Maggiore, the  Lake of Como, and the lower Ticino), the area of Navigli is also full of pubs, so very recommended!

Sant'Eustorgio Church, next to Porta Ticinese, is one of the most beautiful church in Milan

Gelati Italiani, in front of Panzerotti Luini in Via di Santa Radegonda, take a cone, choose which kind of chocolate you prefer on the bottom of the cone and choose favourite taste!

Via di Monte Napoleone, is one of the most important shops street where you can find all the big brands

I love these tram, old style, and the best thing is that you can organize a party into for all night long and goes around the city!

Ciao a tutti! come promesso oggi il mix di foto scattate a Milano. La maggior parte sono state scattate ieri e lunedì ma alcune le ho prese dal mio primo viaggio a Milano fatto nel settembre del 2011 con Walter prima di partire per 4 mesi negli States e le altre nelle 24h passate a Dicembre che rievocano molto l'atmosfera natalizia.

Non ci credevo, ma ha mangiato il calzone mozzarella e pomodoro più buono mai provato da Luini in una traversa del Duomo in Via Santa Radegonda e una goduria di gelato, da gelati italiani.
Ho deciso di accorpare le foto anche per darvi un impressione di Milano nelle varie stagioni...Personalmente la preferisco o con la neve e in atmosfera natalizia o a giugno periodo perfetto per godersi senza il caldo afoso n il grigio tipico milanese!

Buona visione..
