Often referred to as Italy’s fashion capital, Milan stands out as one of the most expensive cities in the country.
Renowned for its high-end fashion houses like Versace, Gucci, and Prada, Milan’s Quadrilatero della Moda (Fashion Quadrangle) is a paradise for luxury shopping. The city’s fine dining scene boasts Michelin-starred restaurants, and its opulent hotels cater to discerning travelers seeking luxury accommodations. With its cosmopolitan vibe and thriving business district, Milan exudes sophistication and wealth.

We, of course, have our opinion of what makes the grade and we present them here in our list of the best paintings of all time.
