Curator’s statement
Milan gets overshadowed by Florence, Rome, and Venice. Yet, it is a world-class city with an infectious verve that courses through every via. Street style is like a spectator sport here. Make sure you taste the region's signature polenta and rice based cuisine. Getting around this centralized city is simple because of an abundance of taxi stands and a safe subway system. You will be glad you added Milan to your Italian tour.
