About Milan

Sprawled between the Alps and the river Po’s plains, Lombardy has one of Italy’s most varied landscapes. Industrious cities, medieval hill towns and lakeside resorts are interspersed with powdered slopes, lemon groves, crop fields, vineyards and rice paddies. But one element defines this diverse region: style. Lombardy’s capital, Milan, is the country’s fashion and finance powerhouse, and is its second-largest metropolis after Rome. The empires of Armani, Prada, Gucci and dozens of others reside in Milan’s ‘Golden Quad’” (Lonely Planet)
