If we went to Milan, what should we see that is not expected?
Milan is the city with the most fought fame in Italy. Some say it is gray, there are those who love it to madness (like myself). What is certain is that lately, after Expo 2015, the city has become more livable, more post-modern, more lively and cheerful. Yes, cheerful.
It makes you feel like riding a bike, making out under the sunset, eating homemade ice cream and stopping to see the construction sites still in progress.
