MILAN – CAPITAL OF STYLE
I’m one of those people who love Milan. It doesn’t have ancient ruins or hordes of tourists but it is the Italian capital of design, especially fashion. The last time we arrived at the central train station evidence of the creative zest was everywhere from the 1930-era mosaics near the tracks to the fashion stores filling the main concourse and upper levels.
A few subway stops away is the historic center dominated by the Gothic spires of the Duomo, or main cathedral.
