After being brave enough to wander around the rooftop of the Duomo I spent some time on the Piazza waiting for the blue hour… it was time to say good bye to Milan on the next day I travelled south to Bari.

After wandering around Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II I decided to be brave, ignore my fear of hights and take a walk on the roof the Duomo di Milano …
Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II built from 1865 and 1877 is one of the oldest shopping malls of the world. Designed by Giuseppe Mengoni who died the tragic way of falling from the roof of the one galleria he had built.
The Galleria conntects the Duoma and the Teatro Alla Scala and not only serves as a shopping area but also as a common Milanese meeting and dining place.
Who had thought that it would be possible to walk on the roof of Italys second biggest church – the gothic Duomo di Milano, built during a couple of centuries. And what a view! The roofs of Milan and all the (little) details of the Duomo. I almost expected all the creatures (the gargoyles) to come alive like in a movie!

Mercato Metropolitano
I think the Mercato Metropolitano was opened for the EXPO or the time of the EXPO, but I do hope it will be continued – it´s simply amazing! Situated in the Navigli area the market offered street food, coffee, sweets of all kind and much more! Produced by small farmers and small craftsman from around Milan. The perfect place to let the world go by, enjoy some delicious food and good company.
Celebrating lovely news with caffè and mignon dolci!
