Milan
Milan, a modern city that dominates Italy's economy and industry, is now one of the most watched cities in Europe. Centered on the Cathedral, the quintessence of Italian architecture in the 14th century, the city is full of sadness and grace at the end of the century, longing for the new century and misty fantasy, showing the romantic tenderness of human beings and the Mercedes-Benz yearning for the future. Milan is located at the junction of the east and west of Europe and the north and south, and it has the elements to develop as an economic city on the fertile plain of Lombardy.
In the Western Roman Empire, great chaos was caused by the great migration of Germanic peoples. Milan prospered as the capital of the empire and the center of western Christianity for a while, and later it was caused by the migration of Goths and others. The commune era caused by the germination of social consciousness in the 12th century made Milan prosperous again.
What made northern Italy develop rapidly was the Crusader's eastward expedition, and cities fought for wealth, power and conquest of other cities. Milan is no exception. Since 1395, Milan has been ruled by visconti and Sforcha. The development of this small city has produced wealthy citizens, and their academic and artistic activities to protect and reward have finally blossomed, giving birth to the Renaissance culture.
At the end of 15th century, great changes took place in the trade system. Italian cities such as Milan began to stagnate, and the Italian peninsula was invaded by Germany, France and Spain. By 187, risorgimento had experienced a long and unfortunate era.
Famous shops and streets
Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II Arcade of Vito Emmanuel II
This is a gorgeous shopping mall, but the sightseeing value is higher than the shopping value.

There are many Italian restaurants, which can be roughly divided into formal restaurants, fast food restaurants and self-service restaurants. In big cities such as Rome and Milan, there are thousands of restaurants of all sizes in each city. Formal restaurants include restaurants with national flavor and various foreign restaurants with different specifications and flavors. Savigny restaurant and Paradise restaurant in Milan are also very popular. Savigny restaurant has a history of more than 1 years. There is a big restaurant and a small box in the museum. Dining here is more formal and the waiters are strictly trained. Serve the food in a fixed order. The dishes are mainly traditional dishes, such as steak, roast suckling pig, fried prawns, foie gras and so on. Italian fast food industry has developed in recent years, and fast food has both Italian style and other national flavors. Generally located in the city center, busy streets or intersections, for many people to eat in a short time. In Italy, it is also very convenient to eat in a cafeteria. Cafeterias are usually located near large gas stations on expressways or in busy downtown areas.
Bars
There are many bars all over Italy. Italian bars are like teahouses in China. In their spare time, people are used to drinking coffee, chatting and killing time. Bars also sell snacks such as bread and ice cream. In the morning, people like to drink a glass of cappuccino, which is a kind of foamed drink unique to Italy. It is very delicious with some sugar before use.
Like other places in northern Italy, I prefer handmade pasta and rice products to dry pasta. In Brescia, there is an Italian wonton called Casonsei, which is a food made of sausage, bread and cheese. Gnocchi di Zucca, a kind of pasta mixed with Tortelli di Zucca, pumpkin diced and flour, is famous. In addition, Lugana, a white wine, is recommended to everyone, which is made by absorbing the fragrance of flowers growing around Lake Gada. In this cold area, Cassoeula is an indispensable famous dish in winter. Boil pigs from head to toe with cabbage. When eating this dish, it is very good to drink the strong red bardacarlo produced by Lotrepo Pavese in the southern hilly area of this area. Vitellotonnato, which can now be seen on the menus of Italian restaurants, is produced in this area. Pour tuna-flavored sauce on sliced boiled beef and food with green leaves. It goes well with white Franciacorta Pinot.
Milan, the economic center, is a paradise for gourmets. Milan people who like new things are the first to accept fast food in Italy, and NUOVA CUCINA, known as Italian food, has tasted famous dishes all over the world. On the other hand, traditional dishes made from rich raw materials produced on fertile land still have a good market.
risotto made of rice from Po River valley and polenta made of corn flour are its representative foods. Polenta can be cooked with meat, eaten naked like bread, or fried like spaghetti, which is really colorful. Milan's famous dishes include Ossobuco, which cooks calf meat together with bones in order to eat gelatin from bone marrow, and Risottoallamilanese, a braised pork rice with tomato sauce with saffron flavor. These dishes match the thick taste of the local representative wine Oltrepo Pavese Barvera. Ossobuco, the representative dish of Milan, is usually eaten with Risottoallamilanese, so it also has a reasonable cuisine.
another one that can't be forgotten is Cotdettaalla MIllanese. Fried breast steak, which is so big that it falls off the plate, has become a popular dish in Italy. When eating this dish, it matches the taste of sparkling wine Oltrepo Pavese Pinot Spumamte.
Gorgonzola is the most famous cheese, which is produced in a village of the same name on the outskirts of Milan. In addition, the origin of the world-famous Christmas candy Panettone is also Milan. Now, a modern large-scale workshop has been set up in Milan near elementary school to produce Panettone candy, which is exported to all parts of Italy and other countries in the world.
Although Milan is an inland city, it has the largest fish market in Italy and is very famous for its concentration of fresh fish from all over Italy. There are many restaurants specializing in fish in Milan, which can make gourmets feast their eyes.
