Milano - Ritzy Glitzy...

It'll be my 3rd time in Milano - the northern fashion and finance capital of Italy. In addition to seeing the sights, I'm hoping to end my trip there for the shopping (especially if my trip coincides with the winter sales!).

Meanwhile, I'll be back in Brera for sure!

If we're there in January, these are some of the ongoing events:
January 6: Corteo dei Re Magi - A procession of the Nativity from the Duomo to Sant'Eustorgio. Tel: 02/58101583.
Every Saturday all year long: Fiera di Senigallia - A colorful market of handicrafts, records, bikes along the Darsena. Location: Piazza Cantore - Piazza XXIV Maggio. Hours: 8.30-6.
3rd Saturday of month all year long: Mercato dell'Antiquariato di Brera - Antiques fair selling books, jewelry, and more in the Brera neighborhood. Location: Via Fiori Chiari e vie limitrofe.
