• Castello Sforzesco - The Sforzesco Castle is a vast fortified complex situated in Milan, just outside the city’s historic center. Constructed in the 15th century by Francesco Sforza, who had recently become the Duke of Milan, it was built on the remnants of a 14th-century medieval fortification known as Porta Giovia Castle.
• Brera District - The sophisticated Brera district boasts numerous attractions, including the Art Gallery, the Botanical Garden, the Church of Santa Maria del Carmine, as well as luxury boutiques and stylish bars and restaurants. At the end of Via San Marco, there remains a lock designed by the genius of Leonardo.
• Giardini Pubblici Indro Montanelli - The Royal Villa of Milan, or Villa Belgiojoso Bonaparte, located in front of the Montanelli Garden, is a neoclassical villa featuring a stunning English-style garden. Built between 1790 and 1796 by architect Leopoldo Pollack, it was commissioned by Count Ludovico Barbiano of Belgiojoso. Today, it houses the Modern Art Gallery.
• Villa Invernizzi - Villa Invernizzi is situated on Via Cappuccini, in the heart of the “Quadrilatero del Silenzio.” Through the railings of a large black gate, one can observe a colony of pink flamingos! Their importation was requested by Cavalier Invernizzi in the 1970s, fulfilling his wife’s wish as a condition for moving to the city.
• Villa Necchi Campiglio - This residence, surrounded by a tranquil garden in the center of Milan, is a guardian of art masterpieces, preserving the cultured and vibrant atmosphere of the city between the two wars. The villa was donated to the FAI (Fondo Ambiente Italiano) by Gigina Necchi Campiglio and Nedda Necchi in 2001.
• Palazzo Isimbardi - The small square in front of Palazzo Isimbardi, home to the Metropolitan City, is now “Largo 11 Settembre 2001.” Here, a work titled “Neon Man” is dedicated to the victims of the Twin Towers attack.
• Naviglio Grande - Over the centuries, Milan’s Navigli allowed navigation across an area extending from the large lakes, through the plain, to the sea. The Navigli water network expanded with the construction of the Naviglio Pavese and played a crucial role from the 14th century in transporting materials for the Milan Cathedral’s construction. This work continued for centuries, with significant developments like the Conca della Viarenna and the Naviglio della Martesana. Leonardo da Vinci’s Renaissance-era improvements to the basin system, as a hydraulic engineer, regulated water flows. Today, the neighborhood is bustling with restaurants and cafes.
• Basilica San Lorenzo Maggiore - In the 4th century, San Lorenzo stood outside the city walls, near the amphitheater, the imperial palace, and the circus, along the Via Ticinensis, which connected Pavia to Milan and was the main access road to the city. For those arriving in Milan, the Basilica presented itself in all its grandeur.
• Santa Maria delle Grazie - The convent and church of Santa Maria delle Grazie were constructed in 1463 by order of the Duke of Milan, Francesco Sforza, on the site of a small chapel dedicated to Santa Maria delle Grazie. It beautifully blends Gothic styles in its interior, in the oldest part, with a Renaissance-style dome typical of Lombardy, the region to which Milan belongs. Leonardo da Vinci came to Milan seeking fortune and left behind some of the most significant paintings and engineering works of his career. Although born in Tuscany, it was in this Italian city that he created many of his greatest works. There are several places in Milan where da Vinci’s works can be seen, but none more prominent than The Last Supper.
