Milan is Big City, Big Noise (courtesy of the radio station broadcasting from portable tents in the Duomo main square), Big Heat & Humidity, Big Cathedral (4th largest in the world), Big Shopping.
This is the entrance to the shopping arcade, famous for its famous brandware, and famous because it was the first covered shopping mall in the world–the Vittorio Emanuelle II.
Check out these shoes.
Amor–love, Italian style.
We ate here as it was recommended in Rick Steve’s guidebook. Not bad, for a chain. It’s hard to think clearly about food when it costs so much and the tourists are so tired.
Maro–Italian style.
Inside the shopping arcade.
At the end of the evening, in front of the Duomo.
