Besides being the main Italian economic and commercial center, Milan is a city of art and culture with an ancient history and a lively nightlife.
The architectural heritage blends history and modernity in a harmonious and fascinating exchange.

From the first skyscraper in Milan, the Pirellone from the ‘60s, in the last ten years the skyscrapers have returned to being a symbol of innovation and rational use of space, encouraging innovative and sustainability-oriented projects that have given life to the new Milan skyline. Not only the award-winning Bosco Verticale, but also the Diamond and the Unicredit headquarters in Porta Nuova and the ex-Fair area, renamed City Life.
