Milan
Milan – located in the heart of the Lombardia region, Milan is the country’s second largest city, and earned its reputation as Italy’s commercial & banking capital going back to the Middle Ages. More recently, during the early 20th century, Milan led the country’s industrialization efforts. The end of World War II reinforced this, with the local business district hosting the Italian Stock Exchange, and becoming the headquarters of the country’s largest national banks & companies. IN more recent times, it became a major world fashion and design center (where major brand like Armani, Versace, and Dolce & Gabbana are located).
