Inhaltsangabe

Milan is a city of marble and brick, opera and industry, enclosed courtyards and restless reinvention. Roman capital, ducal court and modern engine of Italian design, it has repeatedly transformed work into culture without entirely hiding the effort involved.

A Little Book of Milan enters the city through forty concise, researched reflections. Follow Candoglia marble along the canals to the Duomo; move from Sant'Ambrogio, the Sforza Castle and Leonardo's Last Supper to La Scala, the Galleria, Central Station and the postwar towers. Later pieces explore factories, migration, trams, Brera, the Navigli, Porta Venezia, Via Paolo Sarpi, Isola, San Siro, fashion, design and the rituals of the Milanese table.

Written for travellers, readers and lovers of layered cities, this is an intimate literary portrait rather than a conventional guidebook: a book about discipline, memory, making and the quiet confidence of a city always revising itself.
