I consider myself so lucky to
live in Europe! I hop on an airplane in Rotterdam and in around 2 hours I am in
Milan! It is financially the most important city in Italy. I agree -- it is not
considered to be as beautiful as some other Italian cities. However, I feel
there are some similarities in the destiny of this city and Rotterdam - having
been greatly destroyed by Second World War bomb raids, the city has rebuilt
itself into a thriving business capital. It’s a paradise for shopping, opera,
and nightlife.
Here I present to you most famous
historical sights of this city: the Duomo (I consider it the most beautiful
example of Gothic architecture I saw so far in Europe), the Galleria Vittorio
Emanuele (an ancient and glamorous arcaded shopping gallery in the heart of the
city), the Castello Sforzesco (a grand medieval castle), S. Maria delle Grazie
(which contains one of the world's most famous paintings - Leonardo da Vinci's “The
Last Supper”), and a statue of da Vinci at the Piazza della Scala (the building
of La Scala, one of the best established opera houses in the globe, was very unimpressive
for me and hard to photograph without spoiling the photos with wires and other
intrusive street objects).
