So it wasn't the italian trip where I had the most memorable food or museum visits but I really, really liked Milano. Loved the urbanism and architecture (fairly homogeneous and harmonious despite the cohabitation between traditional and fascist buildings) and the fact it's a "real" busy city while still a tight and compact place was a real plus. I mean Firenze, Venice or Bruges are magnificent places and I'm all for preservation but there's always that slight feeling of bubbled tourist traps.
Also definitely got the sense people were dressed sharper than average.
I'd definitely recommend a visit to the Monumental Cemetery, a truly spectacular site and a good symbol of the city's grandiloquence.
