Milan – capital of Lombardy and the second most populous city in Italy after Rome.

The city has long been named a fashion capital of the world and a world's design capital,[2] thanks to several international events and fairs, including Milan Fashion Week and the Milan Furniture Fair, which are currently among the world's biggest in terms of revenue, visitors and growth.[3][4][5] Milan is the destination of 8 million overseas visitors every year, attracted by its museums and art galleries that boast some of the most important collections in the world, including major works by Leonardo da Vinci.
