Contrary to what many think, Milan, the second largest city of Italy,
is not only a city of business and fashion,
but also a city of Art, History and Culture. In the course of its long history
(founded by the Celts in the fifth century BC, conquered by the Romans in 222 BC), the Lombard capital has accumulated
countless monuments and buildings of artistic value, many of which have remained or,
at least, have left traces until to the present day.

Further Info
There are therefore a Roman Milan, a medieval Milan, a Napoleon Milan, in various
points of the city you can still recognize structures planned by Leonardo da Vinci.
The traces of the past, however, are not always easy to spot and recognize. Having always been primarily
a manufacturing and industrial city, Milan has always seen, in all ages, strong transformations
and changes its conformation that have often led to hide and confuse.
The rapid expansion of the city over the past 150 years has meant that buildings that
originally were in the suburbs, or even out of town, appear now located in what is
considered the Old Town. This is the case, for example, of the Castello Sforzesco, once he
was actually on the borders of the city,
as one can see from the image on this page, taken from the "Nuovissima Guida del Viaggiator in Italia"
(Newest guide of the traveller in Italy) of 1852.
Similarly, many of those which until the first decades of the twentieth century were comunities on their
own, are now quarters of Milan (Greco, Bicocca, Baggio, Bovisa,
Niguarda, etc...).
For this reason, being able to recognize and reconstruct the past of Milan may not be
easy for the untrained eye. Without the help of an expert there is a strong risk of looking
without being able to see!
Milanofotografo offers the chance to discover the city and its secrets by proposing you guided tours
where professional guides, certified by the Province of Milan, make your way through the city
of Lombardy, helping you to recognize the traces of different historical periods and cultures.
Both in the case of the most famous monuments such as the Duomo, the Sforzesco Castle, Leonardo's Last
Supper, the Sant Ambrogio Church, the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele, the Teatro alla Scala, and in the
case of the less famous, but nevetheless of great
historical and artistic interest, ones (such as the Roman
ruins, the Basilica of San Marco, the beautiful frescoes in San Maurizio al Monastero Maggiore,
the buildings and the studies of the greatest Italian architects and designers, the residences of
the great musicians of work, and more ...), the guides we work with will be able to explain
the history and cultural significance with skill and precision, and without neglecting anecdotes
able to make the story more engaging.
The page Treasures of art and history in Milan
lists some of the many monuments of Milan, which do not enjoy the notoriety they deserve.
