It's the last installment of our month-long trip to France in August. After a day and a half in Genoa, we passed through Milan before heading home to Amsterdam.
For us, Milan was all about the
Duomo and our fancy lunch at the
Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, one of the oldest shopping malls in the world and where all the major fashion houses are located. Frankly, I'm not sure there's much more to Milan than the cathedral and high fashion, but it was worth the stop-through.
Versace is underwriting a renovation of the 19th-century Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, which has encountered a bit of controversy as noted in this recent
NY Times article. The cathedral is the fifth largest in the world. Can you guess which cathedrals captured the top four? Answers at the bottom.
