Landing in Milan. After crossing the Swiss border, we arrived in Milan. Italy has a big wealth gap, with the north doing well and the south’s commerce dead. Milan is the commercial center, Italy’s richest city.
Even within Italy, Milan is on the safer side. The city of fashion and youth, Milan.
Where young Italians gather.
Stepping inside the Milan department store, its interior looks like Rome’s La Rinascente, so this must be the Italian department store style. Back in 2018, Korea was also getting shopping centers with this vibe in new towns.
Setting foot on Milan soil.
True to the fashion capital, Milan overflows with luxury brands and leisure. People sit at outdoor terraces having meals, so different from the south.
We also sat at a terrace for a meal. I was surprised that half a pizza was the appetizer.
