Famous Milan

“One of the most beautiful cities in Italy” was Stendhal’s description of the Lombard capital. The unfortunate rebuilding of the city, the bombings of the 20th century and the hasty post-war reconstruction changed Milan. Now it is impossible to find that labyrinth of medieval streets on whose pavements Leonardo hurried to the castle of Lombardy’s ruler, Duke Sforza, the palace of Emperor Constantine, the flat on the outskirts of Milan where Dostoevsky, who had lost at cards, stayed, the hotel where Yesenin got into debauchery.
