Best places: Monuments in San Donato Milanese, Italy

👍👍 My sister and I went back just yesterday, on a sort of "memory tour" in the center of Milan. The "memory" of our adolescence, nothing special; but as "young" sixty-year-olds, Manzoni's statue, with that elegance and sobriety it conveys, always excites us. And it excites us even more with the blanket...

👍👍 Casa Campanini è un meraviglioso edificio in stile liberty, edificato appunto dall’Architetto Campanini tra il 1904 e il 1906. La facciata è meravigliosamente decorata con fregi e sculture. I soffitti dell’ingresso e del vano scala sono policromi e decorati in modo eccellente. In settimana il palazz...

👍👍 I always pass by following the cycle path along the very beautiful and particular canal

👍👍 Porta Nuova literally "New Gate” is one of the two medieval gates of Milan that still exist in the modern city (together with the medieval Porta Ticinese). It is sited along the ancient "Navigli Ring" on the perimeter of the medieval walls of the city. It was build in twelve century!

This is one of the first shelters for public use built in Milan. It is made of concrete, o...

👍👍 Milan is always Milan, a very beautiful city, and coming from a Neapolitan in love with his city it is a great compliment

👍👍 This monument to Sandro Pertini, the most loved president of the Republic of Italy, was set up in 1990. It's a strategic position in the "quadrilatero della moda", at the busy cross Road of Montenapoleone and Manzoni, it's a quite area to relax and meet friends in the square. After that, Giorgio Arm...

👍👍 5 stars for what it represents!!! Monument dedicated to the Carabinieri corps, it is made of steel and represents a flaming grenade, symbol of the Carabinieri weapon. It is about 10 meters high and has been present since 1981 and is always well maintained despite someone always trying to deface it....
