Piazza del Duomo is impossible to miss once in Milan, but what the tourists don’t know is that the original part of the Cathedral is not the façade, but the apse! Why the Duomo has been made in Gothic style? Where all its marble come from?
Then, let’s take a stroll through the Galleria, created as a way of connecting La Scala theatre to the Cathedral. In Piazza della Scala we find the monument to Leonardo Da Vinci!

Italia Slow Tour is a project by the famous ‘Turisti per Caso’ hosts Patrizio Roversi and Syusy Blady who, for many years, have been introducing the public to the beauty of the world and of Italy.
They will be our guides with a series of videos to discover Milan and its splendours (well-known or lesser-known) aboard a bike.
