The current day Milan has it roots planted in a past that has bestowed
on us a patrimony of art and culture; which isn't rare for towns in
Italy, but not all of them have so much to offer.
The world famous "L'ultima cena" by Da Vinci,
the Opera House - La Scala, the numerous museums and
art galleries: many of Milan's treasures are hidden to the less attentive
eyes of its inhabitants, but it's all there, waiting to be discovered.

Milan also has a rich calendar of events to cater for all tastes, be
it cultural, recreational or sports; the city certainly has something
to offer for everyone.

area of the Padana plains, in a truly strategic position for the paths
that lead to the heart of Europe. Nowadays, Milan can be considered
on the edge between the Northern and Southern part of the world.

It is a gateway to the companies that are seeking to enter the national
and European business market. It is also a portal for a large number
of immigrants that arrive from emerging countries searching for job
opportunities and hoping for a better future. And for numerous others,
for example, those whom intend to continue their studies in the many
avant-garde scientific and educational structures that the city has
to offer.
Milan is a city in which many different chains of thought intertwine:
universities, research centres and Institutes: structures
and people that aim to transmit the knowledge and know-how needed to
face the challenges that the future holds for us.
In years gone by the Lombardy Metropolis was the Capital of the industrial
revolution; today its entrepreneurial vocation has been confirmed in
many sectors: communications, telematics technology, finance and the
many other services it offers.

Milan is truly one of the few "complete" Italian
cities, able to reconcile economic and social realities. It
is active in many fields of culture and research. It is a busy and advanced
Metropolis that attracts millions of people every year, offering a multitude
of opportunities in the fields of education, employment, entertainment
and tourism.
