We went to Milan to see the Duomo; not Italian fashion.
Recalling our visit, I really didn't notice anything special or leading in fashion in Milan. Not like in Paris, where you see chic on the streets.
Anyway, the Duomo is a must-see.
The word 'duomo' means cathedral, and you will be able to google up a lot of Italian duomos. But the Duomo di Milano is about the most beautiful and impressive one of them all. And you know they refer to this one when they speak of the Duomo.
Click on Duomo di Milano for more information on this grand dame cathedral.
It was dark inside with minimal lighting other than what came through the coloured glass windows. I have 'brightened' the photos so that the details could be seen.
The floor tiles were grand and beautiful. Unfortunately they have worn away in those parts that were made of less durable clays.
There is a taped 'guided' tour which we didn't take as it was very expensive.
