A fascinating tour of the architecture, masterpieces, and hidden corners of the fashion capital of the world
A fascinating tour among the countless modern and traditional facets of Italy’s “big city.” An art city and a fashion, business, and nightlife capital, as well as a testing ground for urban planning with the 2015 Expo: with over one hundred photographs, Milan Highlights offers a fascinating tour of the architecture, masterpieces, and hidden corners of Milan. The volume provides an all-around view of the city by taking into account those aspects which make it unique: art, fashion, nightlife, design, historic districts, trivia, the San Siro stadium—a veritable football temple—and La Scala theater, a temple to opera. This large-format volume presents both unusual glimpses and more conventional pictures of one of the world’s most fascinating cities. The most evocative features of an ever-evolving city are encapsulated in a not-to-be-missed volume.
Massimo Zanella graduated in art history. He is an expert of iconography and the curator of editorial series on contemporary architecture and applied arts. He wrote books and contributions on art history and art criticism.
