The “Galleria”, as Milanese citizens usually address this place, could be considered one of the very first malls in the world and an outstanding example of iron architecture of the late 19th century. It hosts historical boutiques and cafeterias and has always acted as a gathering place for artists and intellectuals.

Considered as one of the most prestigious opera houses in the world, the Theatre was built between 1776 and 1778, under the government of Mary Therese of Austria. The great composer Giuseppe Verdi made his debut here in 1839 and after a few years, in 1842, performed for the first time his “Nabucco”, which made the Teatro alla Scala one of the symbols of Italian Risorgimento.
Pass By: Piazza Mercanti, Milan Italy
Centre of civil life during the Medieval age, this relatively small square is surrounded by outstanding buildings such as the Palazzo della Ragione, formerly Broletto Nuovo, seat of the city government between 1251 to 1786.

Built in the 15th century by the Sforzas, dukes of Milan, is one of the symbols of the city. Artists like Leonardo da Vinci and Donato Bramante have given their contribution to the magnificent interiors. Nowadays, the Castle has been turned into a space for art exhibitions.
