Milan, Italy

Milan (Italian: Milano; Western Lombard: Milan (listen)) is one of the largest cities in Italy, located in the plains of Lombardy. The municipality (Comune di Milano) has a population of 1.3 million. The Milan metropolitan area, depending on the specific definition, has a population ranging from 2.9 to 7.4 million. The municipal border covers a relatively small area (about one-eighth of that of Rome) because of the historical development of high density centres in agriculturally rich Lombardy.









Milan is renowned as one of the world capitals of design and fashion. The English word milliner is derived from the name of the city. The Lombard metropolis is famous for its fashion houses and shops (such as along via Montenapoleone) and the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele in the Piazza Duomo (reputed to be the world's oldest shopping mall). The city hosted the World Exposition in 1906 and will host the Universal Expo in 2015. Inhabitants of Milan are referred to as "Milanese" (Italian: Milanesi or informally Meneghini or Ambrosiani).







The Olona river, the Lambro river and the Seveso creek run through Milan. Olona and Seveso run mostly underground.

lots of filipino OFWS on that city, that is one of the most romantic city in europe, its a good place for honeymoons and dates, you can also spend the rest of your time with the birds on the townsquare. its a fascinating place, terrific way of living, peaceful neighborhood, never been there but i saw on TV documentary or a traviel guide about the given city.

the city had its old and became also the center of everything during medieval times.



just a sample, milan is reminding me the old look of manila a long long time ago, with the wired transport cars (train) routing over the city, i love that kinda city, looks european style to me.

I like europe, and its because of their old and renaissanced structures.

Milan is one of my favorite city in Europe.
