Milan’s Duomo (Cathedral) is the geographical and spiritual heart of the
city. It is the world’s largest Gothic cathedral and was under
construction for five centuries. Leonardo Da Vinci figured out how to
transport all the marble slabs through the narrow city streets, using a
multistage canal lock mechanism.
Milan’s castle is the other anchor of the city center.
In Italy, one of the most effective means of warning is a threat to one’s
manhood.
The Galleria Vittorio Emanuele shopping arcade is just steps from the
cathedral.
The glass roofed arcade is in the shape of a cross.
This temple of consumerism is home to the fashion elite.
Of course, such a house would not would be complete without an appropriate
restaurant.
Head for the hills!
