Secret Milan
Discover the still-visible frescoes of a 15th-century library, a lock designed by Leonardo da Vinci, World War II bunkers and hidden crypts. Visit the studios of artists and designers usually closed to the public and marvel at exceptional private collections, including a rocking horse museum and Achille Castiglioni's studio. Admire Mozart's organ, the Royal Pavilion at the Central Station or the medieval statue of a girl shaving her pubis in public. Interpret the mysterious symbols hidden around the city and look for the boxers carved on the roof of the Duomo...
Far from the crowds and the usual cliches, Milan's rich cultural heritage often goes unrecognized. Yet it only reveals its hidden treasures to residents and visitors who venture off the beaten track.
An indispensable guide for those who thought they knew Milan well or for those wishing to discover another facet of the city.
