Milano - seta Founded as a citadel of the ancient Galli Insubres, Milan rose to become the capital of the Roman Empire: it went on to challenge the Holy Roman Empire and became the centre of the richest and most coveted duchy in all Europe, the site of Leonardo da Vinci´s most fertile period and of the construction of the most European of cathedrals. Milan still stands, silent guardian of remarkable monuments, revealed here in all their singular splendour.
