Milano in estate è il momento per vedere gli amici senza stress

Kim and I become even more sauvage in summer

Milanis empty in the summer. What?!

During the summer, Milan is full of events, squares, people having happy hours, sportsmen. Augusts are not the as they used to be.

Think of me riding a bike on Naviglio Grande, melting and getting a reward in the shape of a giant gelato.

I moved to Milan in 2000. I remember those deserted summers… I don’t regret them, though. The city becomes less heavy and smells like holidays. What to do in Milan in the summer? Easy: anything you like. Because everybody cools off and relaxes.
