Milano
About
"Behind every great city there's a garden", stated Swiss architect Bernard Tschumi in the Seventies. Milan, the most European of Italian cities, does not make an exception: Parco Sempione lies at the North-Wester edge of the historical centre as a precious green lung, being a focal point for Milanese leisure. A private guided tour will lead you across the park, discovering the artistic and architectural beauties hidden among the trees. Finally, you will gain a breathtaking view of the whole skyline, reaching the top of Branca tower: who even knew that Milan had its own Eiffel tower?

Built in the 15th century by the Sforzas, dukes of Milan, is one of the symbols of the city. Artists like Leonardo da Vinci and Donato Bramante have given their contribution to the magnificent interiors. Nowadays, the Castle has been turned into a space for art exhibitions.

Parco Sempione
One of the main green areas of Milan, was designed by architect Emilio Alemagna and constructed between 1888 and 1894. It's located at the Southern end of Corso Sempione, the monumental boulevard drawn during the Napoleonic Age, and borders the North-Western side of Castello Sforzesco.

Arena Civica
Built in 1805 under Napoleon's government, this amphitheatre is strongly inspired by Roman Imperial Architecture. It stood as a polifunctional sportive and theatrical facility, which could host large events for up to 30.000 spectators. Building materials were recovered by the demolition of the former Spanish military structures which bordered the North-Eastern side of Castello Sforzesco.
4
Triennale Milano
Also know as "Palazzo dell'Arte", the building was designed by Giovanni Muzio and built between 1931 and 1933. Except for the World War II, when it became a recreative hall for German officers, it has always hosted art exhibitions, concerts and cultural events.
The building features a classical language, where the frankly Rationalist mark of part of the interiors and the external staircases meets the monumentality of the main elevation entrance arcade.
5
Arco della Pace
One of the main Neoclassical monuments in Milan, its construction started in 1807 but was only completed in 1838. It was dedicated to the peace among European countries, following the Napoleonic Age.
It marks the beginning of Corso Sempione and faces the Northern edge of the park.
6
Torre Branca
This iconic steel structure, one of the tallest accessible buildings in Italy (108 metres), was designed by the well known Italian architect Giò Ponti and built in a few weeks in 1933. After a massive restoring in 2002, it was made accessible again; it hosts a small bistro, reached by an elevator for up to 6 people.
