Some people have actually fallen in love with Milan at first sight as soon as they set foot on its soil (and inhaled the exhaust of its traffic jams...) but the majority of those who visit Milan feel betrayed by its fast-paced work ethic.

This city's historical monuments are half hidden by office buildings so that, upon arrival, you may view Milan as yet another sprawling, inhumane commercial monolith that you eagerly avoid as a tourist.

Hold it! Milan is not inhumane, certainly not more than any other city of its size and wealth, and it does have a very long history and rich cultural traditions.
