In Milan there are museums that are impossible not to visit, because they can legitimately be considered a World Heritage Site (even if not certified by UNESCO.) But the great Lombard metropolis offers tourists and citizens who care about culture, other places where to satisfy their personal curiosity. Galleries, museum and strange museums in Milan […]
The great city of Milan, with all its glamour, its fashion, business, shopping, nightlife and designer labels, it can never do without its markets and flea markets. The city launched towards the Expo 2015, the smart city where everything must be declined in 2.0, is like a mussel attached to the fish counter of local […]
