About Milan - "The economic capital of Italy"

Founded by the Celts and subsequently occupied by the Romans, who named it "Mediolanum", the city was the capital and seat of the Empire. This was partly due to its favourable geographical location, as a bridge for trade between the Italian peninsula and continental Europe.

A political and cultural hub during the Italian Renaissance, and capital of the Kingdom of Italy, Milan began to function as the capital city of the Italian economy and culture. In fact, during the second half of the nineteenth century, it formed the "industrial triangle” along with Turin and Genoa, boosting urbanisation and becoming a destination for internal emigration.

Milan currently plays a very important role in Italian productivity, not only as a major financial market, home to the headquarters of the Stock Exchange on "Piazza Affari", but also as a world capital of fashion, along with London, Paris, and New York. It is home to numerous Italian and foreign high-end fashion designers and brands, generating almost 9% of national GDP by exports, as well as hosting many events, fashion schools, and shows. Many of the prestigious shops are concentrated in the “Quadrilatero della moda” fashion district, where you'll find many world-famous shopping streets, including Via Monte Napoleone, Via Manzoni, Via della Spiga, and Corso Venezia.

Milan is the capital of private and commercial radio in Italy (Radio 105, Radio 24, Radio Deejay, Virgin Radio, RTL etc.) and of publishing (Arnoldo Mondadori, Feltrinelli, Garzanti, Hoepli, Rcs, Giuffrè...). It is also the heartland of the press, with national newspapers and periodicals based there (such as Corriere della Sera, Il Sole 24 Ore, La Gazzetta dello Sport...), and a hub of culture and entertainment (Teatro alla Scala, Teatro degli Arcimboldi, Piccolo Teatro di Milano). On top of that, it is home to the headquarters of major Italian banks (Unicredit, Mediobanca, and BPM) and international offices and branches of IT and technology companies (Banzai, Google, Yahoo, Virgilio...).
