The Duomo, a gothic masterpiece, towers over the city with its spires, while the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, with its majestic glass roofs, invites you to photographic strolls. Between lively alleys, yellow trams and elegant squares, Milan reveals a thousand faces to those who take the time to observe.
