Milan has been an important trading center since it was founded by the Romans in 222 BC. Home of the Design Museum, all the major design showrooms, an endless cycle of trade fairs, and some of Italy’s most famous fashion houses, Milan is a bustling city brimming with ambition and energy. There are a few worthwhile sights for tourists, as well. The massive Duomo, La Scala Opera Theatre, and the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II are all worth a look. Then there is DaVinci’s “Last Supper” fresco, painted directly on the dining hall wall of a convent in 1495.
