Policy Learning Platform Your hosting city Policy Learning Platform Welcome to Milan! Milan has always been a rich and important city. It has always been a place full of various famous artists and offers a particular assortment of churches, buildings and monuments. There was a change of culture and art in the Renaissance with big a contribution in the period of the neoclassicism. The city offers a big variety of buildings, monuments and museums. Its Cathedral is the third largest church in the world. Milan is the capital of Lombardy. It is the biggest industrial city of Italy with many different industrial sectors. It is a magnetic point for designers, artists, photographers and models. It has an ancient city centre with high and interesting buildings and palazzos, which is why so many people from all over the world want to see the city of glamour. Milan has many historic palazzos like the Palazzo Reale (Royal Palace) which is situated in the south side of Piazza Duomo. The Sforza Castle is one of the symbols of Milan together with the Madonnina and the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II. All those sights together are just few reasons for a visit. For further information on Milan, please visit http://www.turismo.milano.it Milan quick facts: Established: 1805 (capital of Kingdom of Italy) State/Region: Lombardy (Italy) Demonym: Milanees/ Milanese Population: 1,337,178 (31 August, 2011) By the 4th century, it was the capital of the western half of the Roman Empire. After struggling through the early Middle Ages, Milan rose to prominence under the powerful Visconti and Sforza families. By the time the Renaissance hit, the city was called "the New Athens.“ Teatro alla Scala is the largest opera house in Europe – each performance can be enjoyed simultaneously by over 2000 spectators. Risotto alla Milanese (yellow-saffron rice), ossobuco (veal shank) and cotoletta alla Milanese (fried beef chop) are among the most typical dishes of the city. An aperitivo is the Italian version of happy hour, but it's less about drinks and more about finger food and conversation. Most bars have an apertivi between 7 and 9 pm, which includes a buffet of finger food and sandwiches when you buy a drink.

  • Bocconi University Italy
    2014-2015 University Attended – Bocconi University, Italy Feedback 1 INDUCTION/ORIENTATION PROGRAMME Orientation meeting for a couple of hours which was very informative, we received a USB with further information. There was also a desk open for international students to come and ask questions which was open all day for the first 2 weeks. In general the induction was very helpful. ACADEMIC EXPERIENCE Quality of teaching was very good most classes were interactive and engaged the class well. Different from Manchester in that there were no seminars: all classes were lectures between 20-60 people which I preferred. Attending and non-attending option: I would suggest any students to do attending as it makes it much easier. E- learning platform was easy to use and had most of the materials needed. Most courses were well run and interesting. Sometimes information was a bit vague on exams for example. you weren't always given sample questions or told how long the exam was. Also there was no exact date on exam results you just received them at random which gave you little time to prepare if you needed to repeat it. MBS INTERNATIONAL ADMINISTRATION SUPPORT TEAM Always responded quickly to any queries I had and dealt with any issues fairly quickly. I was given all the information I needed for my year abroad. MBS SECOND YEAR MEETINGS Helpful in explaining the exchange and allocation of places process. All parts of the application process were clearly defined making it easier. There was sufficient information on each host university and destination. HOST INTERNATIONAL OFFICE They were generally very helpful but didn’t really provide any support with housing which proved very difficult to find at a reasonable price.

  • 29 – Eurocruise – Milan
    29 – Eurocruise – Milan In the previous segment I should have mentioned that this date, May 1, May Day, would be my last full day in Europe and would mark the end of my journey. \ I would be flying back to the U. S. the following morning. So my trip on the 10:57 from Bergamo to Milan was my penultimate train ride. Upon arrival at Milan Centrale at 11:50 I found a locker quickly and reached the adjacent trolley stop forthwith. I did not stop to admire the iconic stub-end railway terminal, constructed in 1931 during the fascist Mussolini era, as I have done that in the past and could do it again later. The weather had turned gloomy again, but that did not stop me from buying a day ticket and using it for a number of hours. It would stay dismal, but with only an occasional drizzle, but also with the sun peeking through the clouds briefly from time to time. Milan is Italy’s second largest city, with a population of 1.5 million (3 million in metropolitan area). Despite the construction of a 4-line heavy Metro system (soon to be 5), it still retains the status of being one of the favorite cities of trolley enthusiasts world wide, especially Americans. This is probably because it still operates a remarkable number of Peter Witt streetcars from the late 1920s over a network of 18 routes that stretches for almost 80 miles (see http://www.urbanrail.net/eu/it/mil/tram/milano-tram.htm). In fact 5 of Milan’s tram lines are still exclusively served by the iconic Peter Witts.
