Milan is Italy’s city of the future, a fast-paced metropolis where creativity is a big business, looking good is compulsory and after-work drinks are an art form. Business, economy, fashion, art and culture are the pillars of the city and visitors from all over the world come to work, study or just as tourists.
The real Milanese people aren’t flashy, preferring to maintain an elegant, subdued exterior, hiding all the “treasures” behind closed doors for the eyes of the family only. This reserved attitude extends from their homes to the city’s buildings, which is why they say “Milano è da scoprire” (Milan is to be discovered). Hence, the common perception is that Milan has no green spaces, or just few attractions, the reality is, they do exist but they are protected, to be discovered.
