Via Monte Napoleone

Via Monte Napoleone is the core street of Milan's "Fashion Quadrilateral," forming a dense shopping district with Via Manzoni, Via della Spiga, and Corso Venezia. The street's layout follows the old city walls built during the era of the Roman Emperor Maximian. In the first half of the 19th century, it was rebuilt in a neoclassical style, with aristocratic mansions lining the street. The street name originates from a public debt bank that was located here during the Napoleonic era. After World War II, it gradually grew into a pivotal commercial street in the international fashion world. The street is lined with numerous international brand flagship stores, jewelry shops, and classic watch workshops, where high fashion and exquisite window displays complement each other. Strolling along the street, the elegant building facades and staggered porticoes are highly worth seeing, creating a uniquely charming fashionable artistic landscape. During Milan Fashion Week, this street becomes a gathering place for buyers, fashion editors, and street-style photographers. The entire street is approx. 350m long, with an elegant atmosphere that connects the surrounding rich urban commercial and cultural fabric. It is close to the Duomo and Teatro alla Scala, making it a suitable stop on a walking route through the city center.

Chinatown

Chinatown's main street is Via Paolo Sarpi. The Chinese community here developed gradually from early immigrants, many of whom came from Zhejiang and started out with small textile and leather workshops. Today, it is one of the oldest and largest Chinese neighborhoods in Italy. Red lanterns hang between old-fashioned Milanese storefronts, and shops line the approx. 1 km-long street, creating a mix of Chinese and Western streetscapes that is perfect for a stroll. Most of Via Paolo Sarpi is a pedestrian street. The street is lined with clothing stores, Asian supermarkets, bakeries, bubble tea shops, and Chinese restaurants. You can find Cantonese roast meats, dim sum, hot pot, Lanzhou beef noodles, and handmade dumplings. Many of the establishments are run by people with roots in Zhejiang, offering a mix of hometown flavors and dishes from across China. This area is located in the northwest of Milan's old town, right next to Parco Sempione and the Arco della Pace. Around the Spring Festival, the streets are decorated with lanterns, and the nearby Arco della Pace area often hosts celebrations like dragon and lion dances, making you feel as if you have returned to a bustling market back home.

Arco della Pace

Arco della Pace is a neoclassical triumphal arch in Milan, standing in the square north of Sforza Castle and at the end of Parco Sempione, and it is also the starting point of Corso Sempione. This area has been a gateway to Milan since ancient times: the Porta Giovia was located nearby in the Roman era, and the medieval city gate was later gradually incorporated into the castle's defense system; today, this triumphal arch and the old toll houses on either side are the remnants of the layout left by the Porta Sempione that was opened later. Its history has had many twists and turns. Napoleon ordered its foundation to commemorate his victory at the Battle of Jena, originally intending to build a "Gate of Victory" as the starting point of the Simplon Road leading to Paris; before the project was completed, Napoleon fell from power, and construction came to a halt. Later, the Austrians who took over Milan continued the construction and rededicated it to the peace restored among European nations after the Congress of Vienna, hence the name "Arco della Pace." Dramatically, Napoleon III and Victor Emmanuel II entered Milan in triumph through this very gate. The bronze sculptures on top of the arch are worth a closer look: the Goddess of Peace stands on a chariot drawn by six horses, holding an olive branch symbolizing peace in her right hand; at the four corners of the arch, there are also Victories on horseback offering laurel wreaths and palm branches. The arch features three parallel archways, and the stone surface is decorated with reliefs of historical scenes such as the Battle of Leipzig and the Congress of Vienna, as well as personifications of rivers like the Po and the Ticino. Starting from Sforza Castle and walking through Parco Sempione toward the arch, you can capture the castle, the green space, and the triumphal arch all in one frame.

San Bernardino alle Ossa

San Bernardino alle Ossa is located not far to the southeast of Milan Cathedral. Its exterior is unassuming, but what truly makes it famous is the ossuary in the side chapel. Passing through a long, narrow corridor from the entrance, you enter this small chapel whose walls are almost entirely covered with skulls and long bones: the bones are embedded into patterns, spreading along the walls, niches, and lintels, intertwining with Rococo decorative tastes to create a solemn yet magnificent impression. The dome features a fresco painted by artist Sebastiano Ricci, depicting angels carrying souls ascending to heaven, directly facing the rows of bones below; the altar houses a 17th-century statue of Our Lady of Sorrows, with the Virgin Mary kneeling beside the dead Christ. The church's history of storing remains dates back to the early 13th century: at that time, the cemetery of a nearby hospital was full, so a dedicated ossuary was set aside to store the remains, and a church was later built next to it. During the 17th-century renovation, the bones were rearranged into decorative patterns covering the small chapel; a fire in 1712 destroyed the main body of the church, after which it was rebuilt under the direction of architect Carlo Giuseppe Merlo, forming the current Baroque style with an octagonal plan and dome. The main church is a simple octagonal hall, featuring a Baroque altar and several side chapels, housing paintings from the 16th to 18th centuries. The church is compact, making it a convenient addition to your itinerary when visiting the Milan Cathedral area.
