Milan, Italy, North Star……

This is my third time arriving in Milan, in the region of Lombardy, yet every time I have come to the place as an entry point to explore others parts of Italy rather than a tourist destination. Over the past few years I have thought to myself, the next time I get the opportunity to visit I will stop and explore this city and get to know the northern Italian location for myself. I have felt compelled, and since I often hear people (a few at least) suggest they don’t care for it. I have been curious.
