Milan which is
the capital of the Lombardy region was founded by the Insubres, a Celtic people
though it gained much of its present day preeminent position under the Romans
who captured it in 222 BC. Today this lively and cosmopolitan city which is
almost always associated with high fashion and style as it is home to several
world famous Italian fashion houses like Giorgio Armani, Ermenegildo Zegna,
Versace, Tods and many more is an important epicenter for finance and business
in Europe.
The city of Milan
actually occupies an extremely strategic position in the Italian economy as it
is surrounded by the largest industrial area of Italy, a region which through
the ages has been associated with the wool trade, the production of silk and
luxury goods and furniture and metal production. Today however the main
industries located in this region include textile and garments, automobiles
chemicals, industrial tools, heavy machinery, book and music publishing.
Aside from all this industrial development, Milan is also renowned as an
important center for finance and banking for the city whose skyline is dominated
by the Duomo ( The gothic Milan Cathedral) and the towering Pirelli tower is
home to the Italian Stock Exchange or the Borsa Italiana.
