Milan Has More Than Fashion

FOOD, football, and fashion – Milan has it all. The city is perhaps most famous for its annual (一年一度的) Milan Fashion Week and its world-class soccer teams AC Milan and Inter Milan. And May will see it host the six-month Milan Expo, the theme of which is food and nutrition.

Milan may not be the first place tourists think of when they think of Italy. Rome is the most famous city in Italian history, Venice draws visitors who want to travel along its canals (运河) and Florence is popular with art lovers. Yet Milan can often be left off tourists’ lists. But although some see Milan as the “ugly sister” of these cities, according to Lonely Planet, in 2015 the city is “suddenly back in fashion in a big way”.

The delicious Milan Expo will look at the future of food, trying to answer the question of how Earth’s fast-growing population can be fed in the future. According to the Lonely Planet website, “144 countries will set up shop northwest of central Milan, forming a mini city-within-a-city”.

Milan’s famous opera house, La Scala, normally closed in the summer, will also host daily performances during the expo, reported Fox News.

Not interested in opera? Don’t worry. Visitors who prefer sports may want to visit the San Siro stadium, home of the soccer teams AC Milan and Inter Milan. The stadium is one of the most famous in Europe and has seen many important games over the years, both in Serie A and the European Champions League.

So even if all of its fashion and beautiful people can make Milan seem “soulless”, as Lonely Planet said, it still has “a serious sense of history and place”. Many people will be discovering it this year, and eating great food from all over the world to help solve world problems. Will you?
