We are planning to go to Milan , the last week of august. We have one week to spend. Two days we plan to see around Milan. One day for the lakes. One day we plan to go to Modena to visit the Ferrari and Maserati factories.Can you suggest any other places we can go ?.Is Dolomites too far for a day trip ?.Should we spend more time at the lakes ? How is the weather? Is it too hot and muggy? Are the shops all open ?Is it a bad time to visit Milan ? Please advise.

Mny shops close in August, but not all of them, and mainly in the two central weeks of the month. Department stores remain open, as well as discount outlets.
About the trips, I would suggest to devote one full day to Lake Como and another day to Lake Maggiore.
The rail system is so good in Italy that you might consider staying someplace else and making your visit(s) to Milan as day trips. For example, if you stayed in Parma, you would actually be much closer to Modena, but farther away from the lakes...unless you were going to Lado del Garda, which is about as far away from Milan as from the Parma/Modena area.
I don't have a definite opinion here, but I thought that I would bring it up as an option...

Due to extreme climatic changes the World is experiencing at the moment, trying to predict the weather can be difficult because of local, on the day variations.
Most places now are seeing weather conditions well outside the norm.
The information below should be used as a guide only.

I spent five days in Milan last year at Easter and couldn't see all the places I would have liked to. Milan is very underrated as a tourist destination, as people often connect it to fashion and industry, but it really is a city rich of history, culture and art.
So, I would spend at least three days visiting Milan. You could also visit other Lombard cities like Bergamo, Brescia, Pavia, Cremona, Mantova... Lombardy is much richer in things to do and see than one would think.
The Dolomites are too far for a day trip in my opinion.
Breascia is a good place for a one-day trip from Milan. It is little known, but it has gems from different times, including Roman ruins. In this webpage you can find what to do in a day in Brescia: http://www.nozio.com/en/Europe/Italy/Lombardy/Brescia/itineraries/Brescia_:_A_Special_Day.htm
You can find the tourist office in Piazza Duomo. Facing the Duomo, it's on your right, next to Palazzo Reale. There you can find interesting brochures on what to visit in Milan, you can ask for help in booking tickets and check what's going on in the city.
My sister visited Milan in June and we did at July.Me and my sister both had very allergig reactions of Milanese mosquitos.Belive me:there are lots of mosquitos at home,but they make us only ichy,but these ones got us both serious problems,my legs were all red and with yellow(!!)spots,witch broke and had matter inside.I had to use medicin,and so did my sister.Our both husbands had only little ichy,so it doesn´t wok as bad to anyone.But just in case,take some poison and something for iching spots with you.Some say,that you shoul eat antihistamin before you go.
This street is in the very center of Milan and it is full of nice and "affordable" stores, just one close to the other
Avoid going there during Christmas time though it is so crowdy you cannot walk! You can find here almost every kind of women and men clothes, shoes
... it's worth to go to Baci e Abbracci (Kisses and hugs). The place owners are football-stars Christian Vieri (Inter) and Christian Brocchi (Milan) and they are there now and then.
But also apart from that the bar is really nice, calm and with normal prices (7 euro for a cocktail). The service was a bit lazy when I was there, but still a nice place.
The restaurant I never tried out, but it looked nice anyway.
Just make sure to don't go there on the night after Inter has played really bad... Earlier this season (03/04) some guys smashed the sign of the place with some kind of molotov-cocktail after Vieri had played incredibile bad in a game. No guards when we were there, but as always in Milan it's normal to dress nice.
There are 2 airports in Milan, the main one being Malpensa. Being the major city of Italy, it is well served by trains and buses from most towns. It is also close to the Swiss border and you can cross over in about 45mins' drive up north!
It's advisable to go around in Milan by the metro. Trying to drive within the city would be madness!
