Milan

Photos 1 - 66 out of 66 | Back to Albums
Leaving Lake Como on the boat, heading for Milan I'll miss this view! Waiting for the train
Varenna station First glimpse of Milan...back in the big city These were hilarious...they are planters for the trees in the shape of a fiat car (with real wheels).
Galleria Vittorio Emmanuelle Inside the Galleria, built in the 1800's
High end shops and a McDonalds right next to them...I guess McDonalds has a diferent status over here (haha). Spinning on the bull of Turin (it's supposed to bring you good luck). The Duomo...just amazing!
Statue at the Duomo Streets of Milan
Castle Sforza Another shot of the castle with its fountains out front
Historic city center and the shopping capitol of the world (tons of high end stores here). ;) All the taxis are white here Front doors of the Duomo
Gary found the Ferrari store One of the Ferrari F1 cars Read. Watch. Listen. Live.
Church heavily inspired by the Pantheon in Rome You can really see the inspiration from the inside
Neat design on the dress? Those are all safety pins. Top of the Duomo at night
Piazza at night -- getting ready for fashion week. No pictures were allowed inside the Duomo, but we were allowed to take pictures on the roof. It's amazing! The attention to detail was SO impressive. Love gothic architecture. Statue on the roof of the Duomo
A close up of one of the gargoyles on the roof Another shot from the roof Standing in one of the walkways
Spires lining the roof...perfection View of the Galleria from the roof of the Duomo Trying to get artsy with the photography
Having fun on the rooftop
Loving it! If I had more free time, I'd love to sketch these. View from the very top of the Duomo On the top of the roof...the views from here are fantastic.
Gold statue of Mary on the top So intricate! This is all made out of marble. There are stairs inside curving up to the top of these spires. Old meets new -- the office building in the background was built in the 50s and it resembles a medieval tower.
Gary on the top of the roof study in perspective having a little fun
Walls and defensive tower at Castle Sforza Inside the castle
Alfa Romeo police car -- Gary made me take this one..haha. End of the Corso Sempione -- built by Napoleone to resemble the Champs-Élysées in Paris Roman style fountain in the park
View of the castle from the gardens So funny...they put grass in the top of their construction barriers. It looks nicer that way.
Outside the castle again...love the big defensive towers View of the Visconti coat of arms
