When to go to Milan?
Milan does elegance on its own terms. The Duomo is marble worked into lace and spires, the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II a glass-roofed arcade of mosaics and long lunches, and Brera keeps the art schools, galleries and quiet courtyards. In a refectory beside Santa Maria delle Grazie, Leonardo's Last Supper still holds a roomful of visitors silent.
