Life in
Milano
SDA BOCCONI SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT | WELCOME BOOK
Milano is considered the economic capital of Italy,
but also the home of fashion, design, finance,
non-profit and media, as well as being one of the great
cultural centres of Europe.
Every year visitors from around the world come to Milano to attend shows and
events, including performances at Teatro alla Scala, the Salone del Mobile
design exhibition and Milano Fashion Week.
The city also hosts some of the finest museums: the Pinacoteca di Brera the
Museo Poldi Pezzoli, the Museum of Science and Technology, the PAC and
the Triennale to mention but a few. The variety and the prestige of art and
photography galleries in Italy is unparalleled. Da Vinci's Last Supper, one of the
most famous frescos in the world and one of the many testimonies of Leonardo’s
time in the city, is a must see.
Film buffs will appreciate the programmes offered by cinemas specialising in
arthouse films, as well as the numerous commercial cinemas (many of which also
show films in their original language). Every year in Milano you can watch a
selection of titles from three major international film festivals: Venice, Cannes
and Locarno.
Auditoriums, theatres, trendy bars and concert halls regularly host concerts
ranging across the entire music spectrum, often with internationally renowned
artists.
