More Milano:

So Italy is undergoing the equivalent of the Flood in terms of rian, lately, so if the lighting is off in the pictures, blame the weather.
These pictures are more from the center of Milano, with places like La Scala (no pictures allowed but beautiful!), and:

Il Duomo, from the outside

Il Duomo, from the Inside
La Galleria, the idealized form of a shopping area

I like Milano. It's a city that seems cold at times, but at others it's elegant and beautiful. The culture is very different from Siena, it seems, but I learned a lot in terms of how Italian cities are-- they aren't the metropolis that one thinks of immediately, but are more like an intricately folded box, with the heart waiting to be discovered.

Up next: Siena!
