Milan is the city that anticipates Italy’s social and cultural changes. Just look how its skyline has changed over time: today it expresses a profile that ranges from the futuristic towers of the new Citylife district to the vast Arcimboldi theatre, and from the Gae Aulenti business centre to the Triennale, passing the historical icons of the Duomo, the Teatro alla Scala, and the Castello Sforzesco.
