Day 25 (Wednesday 26th November) A lazy day taking in the sights of Milan)

 Milan is often introduced as Italy’s capital of fashion and finance, but to reduce it to runways and boardrooms is to miss its heartbeat. Beneath the sleek glass towers and designer boutiques lies a city steeped in history, where art and music have shaped its identity as much as culture.

Typical square 

Late morning tea

Today we plan to take a lazy look at Milan. Cos wants to visit Teatro alla Scala, the world’s most famous opera house. Opened in 1778, La Scala has hosted premieres of Verdi, Puccini, and Rossini—names that echo like sacred chants in the world of classical music. On walk last next week noticed some local markets, if we can find them we intend to take a look. Otherwise nothing planned except a lazy day taking in the sights of Milan.
