Although not the official capital of Italy, Milan can lay claim to several unofficial titles such as "Fashion Capital of Europe" or "Financial Capital of Italy".
This is a city of success where the world's top designers mingle with the movers and shakers of the business world in an environment of elegance and refinement. That modern sheen has taken a long time to create though, after an incredibly colourful and tumultuous history. |
