  1. Comune di Milano

    Milan is one of the major artistic centres of northern Italy. Its chief landmarks include:

        * The Duomo, the world's largest collection of marble statues with the widely visible golden Madonna statue on top of the spire, la Madunina (little Madonna), the symbol of Milan.

        * Teatro alla Scala. Milan is also one of the most important centres in the world for Opera lirica, with his famous Teatro alla Scala (La Scala).

        * The Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, a large, covered arcade linking the Duomo's piazza with the Teatro alla Scala.

        * The Castello Sforzesco

        * The Basilica of Sant'Ambrogio

        * The Palaeo-Christian Basilica of San Lorenzo

        * The Biblioteca Ambrosiana, containing drawings and notebooks by Leonardo da Vinci among its vast holdings of books, manuscripts, and drawings, and is one of the main repositories of European culture. The city is also the home of the Brera Academy of Fine Arts.

        * The church of Santa Maria delle Grazie, which houses one of the most famous paintings of Leonardo da Vinci, The Last Supper (L'ultima cena or Il cenacolo).

        * The church of Santa Maria presso San Satiro, with a famous trompe l'oeil traditionally ascribed to Bramante

        * The Cimitero Monumentale di Milano.

        * The Pinacoteca di Brera, Pinacoteca Ambrosiana, Poldi Pezzoli, the Bagatti Valsecchi Museum and the Musei del Castello galleries, which host a great number of pictorial masterpieces.

    Have fun!
