Renowned as Italy’s fashionable economic engine, Milan not only abounds with sartorial trendsetters (Armani, Prada, and Versace are headquartered here) but also boasts a treasure trove of architectural wonders that even the most casual visitor can appreciate. The storied city, located in the northern region of Lombardy, has a colorful history that stretches back to 600 B.C. and includes a period as capital of the Italian Empire, under Napoléon. Organized around a historic core brimming with venerable landmarks, the city has a forward-thinking ethos that’s exemplified by the resurgence of enclaves such as Porta Garibaldi, where the country’s tallest building opened in 2012. Here, Architectural Digest highlights 25 of Milan’s intriguing landmarks, both old and new.

Duomo di Milano
Arguably the most famous site in Milan is the centrally located Duomo di Milano, a postcard-perfect Gothic cathedral whose construction spanned six centuries, from the 1380s to the 1960s. Clad in Candoglia marble, its detailed façade includes 135 spires and 3,400 statues, many of which can be viewed up close by ascending to the cathedral’s roof.

Oath Keepers founder on trial over US Capitol riots
World leaders have condemned violent scenes in Washington after supporters of US President Donald Trump stormed the Capitol building on Wednesday.
The riot forced the suspension of a joint session of Congress to certify Joe Biden's electoral victory.
Many leaders called for peace and an orderly transition of power, describing what happened as "horrifying" and an "attack on democracy".
UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson condemned the "disgraceful scenes".
"The United States stands for democracy around the world and it is now vital that there should be a peaceful and orderly transfer of power," he wrote on Twitter.
Other UK politicians joined him in criticising the violence, with opposition leader Sir Keir Starmer calling it a "direct attack on democracy".
Home Secretary Priti Patel told the BBC that Mr Trump's comments "directly led" to his supporters storming Congress and clashing with police.

The Best Neighborhoods of Milan, Where Should I live?
As our name implies, we at Easy Milano want to make your experience living in Milan as easy as possible. There are lots of reasons people move to Milan; study, work, adventure or love. Many readers write in asking questions BEFORE moving to Milan. One question came in about neighborhoods and living in Milan. Although it is impossible to give a street by street guide, we have tried to give a good general idea of different areas.
The Move to Milan
Buildings in Milan vary in architectural styles/ Photo by Thomas Evraert Buildings in Milan vary in architectural styles. You may find an 18th-century palace with lush apartments, your dream industrial style loft or a residential condominium offering the latest design and energy-saving technology.
Before choosing a neighborhood, you may want to consider what you are bringing with you and how you will be moving in. This is especially important when choosing a residential building. Will you need an elevator? Is a 3-story walk-up OK for the belongings you are bringing to Italy? Will your sofa fit the stairwell, or will you need a cherry picker?
Unless you only have a few boxes and a small set of luggage, it is best to turn to a professional service. If you are moving to Milan with your family, or have precious items such as artwork, vehicles or moving to Milan with pets, you may want to seek the assistance of professionals that can manage the logistics, packing, transportation and even help to get the correct documents, visas and import permits. Bliss Moving & Logistics specializes in international relocation to Italy as well as logistics required for moving from Italy to any foreign country. Having a professional on your side rather than trying to move to Italy yourself and risking property damage or loss, will make your transition to Italy so much smoother.
I’m moving to Milan, where should I live?
City center/ Duomo
Living in the center of Milan Living in the city center has its pros and cons. For example, public transportation is extremely accessible, if you work in the center you can go on foot, and restaurants, museums and all the sights are close by. However, it does get busy with tourists, outdoor events and concerts in the summer will disturb your sleep, and you will need a generous budget for rent.
Brera/Solferino
The heart of Brera / Photo Abernethy via Picfair Prices are high but if it is short term, it will be very memorable to have lived in the center of town. There are also some of the old canals and winding cobblestone roads. Accessible by Metro; Montenapoleone, Cairoli or Lanza stops as well as multiple tram stops. The buildings are classic and elegant, in fact when Napoleon was King of Italy, he had plans to make Milan a replica of Paris. If you are working in the city center, financial or fashion districts, you can walk to work. Dog owners and joggers will love the proximity to Parco Sempione.
Porta Romana
The architecture of Milan is varied Near enough to the center and far enough removed to not be so chaotic. Anywhere between metro stops Crocetta and Pt. Romana is a great location. Street cafes and pubs make it a good spot for nightlife. Some of the housing south of Porta Romana is even affordable for student sharing.
Magenta/Vincenzo Monti
This area is very central, and very charming and also close to Parco Sempione, – great if you have a dog or like playing frisbee/ or jogging on the weekends. For culture lovers, you will love the fact that you can walk past Leonardo Da Vinci’s residence and the church where he labored on the Last Supper or walk through the grounds of the 14th century Sforza Castle. Here you will also be close to the Cadorna metro station which is very convenient if you travel often for work as there is an express airport train to Malpensa.
