Hi,
my family will be travelling from Monaco to Genova by car in late March.
Than from Genova we need to get to Milan airport. My questions:
1. Would it be better to drop the car in Genova and use a train or bus to get to Milan?
2. Are there any interesting stopovers between Genova and Milan that we should explore?
Thank you very much for your help!

Other things being equal, I'd keep the car all the way to Milan airport (assuming you are going to Milan Malpensa, the major international airport). Malpensa is an hour's bus ride from the main train station in Milan, so you would not only have the hassle of the train ride from Genova to Milan (with all your luggage), but then transferring you and your stuff to the bus (which is next to the station).
I am also thinking that an extra day on the car rental might even be cheaper than train and bus tickets for the family.
As for where to go, Torino (Turin) is about 100 miles (140 km) west of Milan and Malpensa is northwest of Milan, so from Torino to Malpensa, you wouldn't even go through Milan itself.
There are also a lot of other places even close to Malpensa, but of which I know little...

If you like vintage and old things there is a very famous market called 'Senigallia fair', where it is possible to find everything you could ever think, except food. It's just on Saturdays, all day long. If you think to go there, just be advised against bringing with you wallet, mobile or whatever of a certain value.
Suffering from withdrawal symptoms because you can't log in to VT?
Fear not! Here's a list of cybercafes that I obtained from the tourist promotion office. I hope this list is not outdated. Blame it on the Milano Tourist Office if it's outdated. ;-)

The main particularity of the beautiful Palazzo Sormani, headquarters of the municipal library today, is that the palace has not one but two stunning facades.
The second one is facing the back garden and it was designed by Benedetto Alfieri around 1750.
The palace was sold to Andreani family in 1783 and received new decorations in neoclassical style of French inspiration.
Some who have red more my tips might get surprzed,but we like blues.So we went here,when we heard good music and saw that there was Guinness served. ;) We sat outside and when I went in to toilet,I was surprised to see,that music came alive!We thought there´s a good cd plying.Two women sang on the stage.Place looked nice inside,not too modern and it was quite big.So it might be worth of visiting at winter,too.Sadly they closed soon after we came,we barely finished our pints.Some people left walking with pints or drinks in their hands.Wonder why they close,when place is full of people?
They had food also,but we had allready eaten,so we didn´t look the menu. No dress code any kind
Reachin Milano by train is one of the most practical way as you will arrive directly in the city centre without having the problem to find a parking place.
The main railway station is Stazione Centrale, where almost all the train arrive. Then you have Milano Cadorna where you possibly arrive by taking the Malpensa Express, the train from Milano Malpensa Airport. In each railway station you find a subway station as well. This allows you to reach any part of Milan in a quick way.
