Milan is well known for its museums, theaters and numerous architectural attractions. However, as far as the weather is getting better and the sun warms up more and more cozy streets of this Italian city, we think it is the right moment to speak about open air monuments of the capital of Expo-2015.

ART & ARCHITECTURE
What keeps me impressed the most about Italy, and more in particular about Milan, is the interest and the great attention that people pay here to art, architecture and design. These matters are not a part of a business chain (advertise-sell), but rather essential features that deeply rooted into the local culture, into the Italian DNA. Here one should not be a designer or an architect to attend special events and to be updated on a very specific topics.
