What is Milan like?
One may ask, what was Athens like? Â Â What was Jerusalem like? Â We have asked what is Milan like for several good reasons. Â It is our city and it is the place where we have labored intensely. Â It may become important to you too. Â We will see.
Porta Genova (Our Home)
Welcome to our neighborhood. Our apartment was located close to our transportation needs: the train, subway, trolley and bus. We also were surrounded by the fashion and design industry.
Last Supper Tour
It takes about a month or more to see Leonardo’s Last Supper, so reserve early in your stay. Our first week in Milan we made our reservations. Our last week in Milan we viewed the Last Supper.
Tour with Giovanni
We emphasized central Milan, Italy sites during this tour. Our friend Giovanni provided excellent details of the city. He is a native Milanese and university educated professional. He spoke partial English to us, as we spoke partial Italian to him. A special portion of this day included skeletal remains of St. Ambrose adjacent to the university.
