MILAN, ITALY
|
 The Fashion's Capital
Center of business, design and high technology, Milan is smart rather than attractive, a city of wealth as opposed to imagination: The heartland of the Italian economy. Visitors often find its modern face less appealing than more obviously historic cities like Venice and Florence. Yet the city's
sights include the magnificent Gothic cathedral, the
world-class Brera Art Gallery, Leonardo's Last Supper
and the Scala.

 Gothic
Duomo
There is no better place to begin a tour
of Milan than at its spiritual hub, the Duomo, described
by Mark Twain as "A poem in marble". Situated
at the very heart of Milan, the Duomo is one of the
largest gothic churches in the world, 12 thousand square
meters large it can hold one and a half football fields.
The Duomo was
begun in 1386 but not given its finishing touches until
1813. Since it took almost five centuries before completion,
the most beautiful Gothic cathedral in the world gathers
admirable different styles: Gothic, Renaissance and
Neoclassical. The building most starling feature is
the extraordinary roof, with its 135 spires, gargoyles
and innumerable marble statues.
