Il Duomo
by croisbeauty
....The facede of the cathedral has five Baroque doorways with double buttresses by the central doorway and on the outside and single buttresses on the inside. The pilasters rest on heavy bases, above which are talamons.
The interior will struck you more by a feeling of stylistic consistency than by the huge size of the building itself. Il Duomo di Milano is the biggest Gothic church and the second biggest church, after St. Peter's in Rome, in the world.
Among the various works worthy of mention in the cathedral are the monument to Giacomo medici considered the masterpiece of Leone Leoni, and the Trivulzio Candelabrum the Gothic bronze masterpiece attributed to Nicolas de Verdun dated early 1200's.
Upon the tallest spire of the cathedral's roof stands gilded copper statue of the Virgin known as the Madonnina which has become the symbol of the city of Milano.
An Incredible Year for Milan - 2007!

II due protagonisti di questo finale thrilling si cercano.
A perfect picture moment captured by the photographers at acmilan.com showing Kaka's (left) joy at clinching Milan's 7th World Champion's League title in Athens in 2007 (as he celebrated with Milan's midfielder, Massimo Ambrosini).
Kaka is one of my favorite players in Milan and he's definitely the best playmaker in the world today. I hope he'll play with the team until he retires. Kaka is also one player who is proud to show that he is a born-again Christian. You go, champ!

Look for the M
by Henrik_rrb
To get around in the central parts of Milan the easiest and best way is to take the metro. Just keep an eye for the big M, red signs with a white M on it.
(Yes, very clever, it stands for Metro... ;) ).
You buy your ticket in the ticket machine under ground, or in one of the newspaper stands. A ticket costs 1 euro and works for one trip, or if you change without leaving the metro, for 70 minutes.
