LOST iN Milan

Milan. At first glance, the city may not seem as aesthetically pleasing, due to the absence of piazzas and neoclassical architecture that define grand Italian cities such as Rome or Florence. But digging deeper, it is the energy that the economic capital of Italy brings forward and the hidden beauty that can be found in its hidden palazzo courtyards and well-designed underground system.

Milan is known for harboring a mix between old and new, from traditional trattorias to radical design galleries. This mix is also seen in aperitivo bars where one can cross a captain of industry entertaining a conversation with a mechanic.
