Milano

The main economic city in Italy, Milan will seduce you with its posh avenues and their parades of luxury shops, its marvellous Dome, its great art museums, but also with its animated and lively atmosphere. Did you never dream of attending a performance of \INorma\i at the celebrated Scala theatre? Well, it is here, and if it is quite difficult to find seats, please note that 200 tickets are up for sale every night before the beginning of the show.
