and I arrived at Milan's Malpensa Airport early in the morning, checked into Casa Mia and took off
sightseeing.
First to the Piazza Duomo, Italy's largest and most intricate example
of Gothic architecture! This huge piece of
gingerbread gothic, with all those pigeons is pictured above.
It took 500 years to complete illustrates the passage of time through a mixture of architectural styles. It is said you can see as far as the Alps from the roof.
We strolled through the glass domed arcade Galleria
Vittorio Emanuele, which is one of the elegant glass domed shopping arcades built in the 19th century.
Next stop LaScala and Sforza Castle where we saw Michelangelo's
unfinished Pieta (Pieta Rondanini). Since this was the first city we visited, we tried to get as much sightseeing done as
possible. |
