Milan is one of the largest cities in Italy, located in the plains of Lombardy, and is one of the most highly developed urban centres in Europe. It is considered the style capital of Italy since it is an elegant city with its wide, tree-lined boulevards and graceful architecture. With nearly two million inhabitants, it is not only the economic, financial and banking capital of Italy but also brings to mind culture, design and technology. The city hosted the World Exposition in 1906 and has submitted a bid to BIE to host the Universal Expo in 2015. Milan is a young city: young people spend their free time browsing in the numerous shops and showrooms throughout the city or enjoying the dynamic night life. The lovers of antiques will love the Brera and Navigli quarters, where regular outdoor antique markets are held even if Milan has numerous antique shops and workshops. Milanese cuisine includes cotoletta alla milanese, a breaded veal cutlet pan-frred in butter. Other typical dishes are cassoeula, stewed pork rib chops and sausage with Savoy cabbage and tomato sauce, and risotto alla milanese (with saffron, white wine and beef marrow). You can learn Italian language in Milan for your profession, for your further studies or simply for pleasure. Milan is a very lively city where you can easily get to know a lot of different people and so practise Italian. |  |
