Visit the roof of the cathedral - really great sight from there and you get a closer look at the details of this great church which was completed not until 1950! Another interesting piece of art is San Satiro, not far away from the cathedral in the Via Torino (on the left side, coming from the cathedral). Due to limitations of building space the apse is just illusionistic painting - - no real depth! I was stunned when I visited that small church. Wide angle lens would be better IMHO. - -- Best regards, Dieter mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] It depends if you like music. 7th december, Saint Ambros day, is the aperture of La Scala. I heve been there and is a magnificent show of the high society of Milan. The theater itself is one of the biggest and more beaotifull all over the world and every perfonmance, and I have been many times is wanderfull. Just in case you don not like music, the museum of La Scala is nice to visit with many souvenirs from historic singers and composers. And, yes, architecture, only outdoor, is much less interesting than other opera houses in the world as Colon of Buenos Aires, Real of Madrid, Opera de Paris, Opera House of Sydney, and many others.
