Milan on Stage

Bol

Who can resist the story of Milan s journey from the postwar years to the present? Once an industrial center, hastily rebuilt after the war, foggy and polluted, it seemed somewhat provincial. And yet today it is considered trendy, modern, welcoming, international, and green. This book depicts a new trendsetting city, which attracts millions of visitors annually for major fashion, design, gastronomy, sports, and world-class art events. A photographic itinerary of the city illustrates how hundreds of years of layered history the source of the deep Milanese soul coexists with a decidedly contemporary global identity. Vivid photo reporting by Lea Anouchinsky winds through Milan s streets and squares, the historic palazzi and rationalist buildings, and the latest architecture and cultural sites, while spotlighting the city s best accommodations and food and drink spots. A lively text by journalist Chiara Dal Canto identifies the coolest neighborhoods and their most characteristic features. There could be no better accompaniment for anyone planning a trip to Milan, who has visited and wants to recall its magic, and of course anyone who loves the taste and style of the Italian art of living.
