Roman antiques from Milan and the surrounding area.
Saint Maurice
A must-see! A stunning fully frescoed renaissance church. Most of the paintings are the work of Bernardino Luini.
Cadorna Square
Medium-sized, normal square in central Milan with the funky modern North Station and some fine buildings, but notably a set of peculiar modern sculptures in the middle.
Il Dito
On the square, where the Italian Stock exchange has its headquarters. The abbreviation L.O.V.E. stands for Libertà, Odio, Vendetta, Eternità (Freedom, Hate, Vengeance, Eternity) ideated by Maurizio Cattelan in his atelier on Viale Bligny in Milan.
Classical music.
Saint Lawrence
A lovely 4th-century basilica, perhaps is one of the oldest basilicas in Western Europe. It is famous for its beautiful courtyard, with Roman-age columns and statue of the emperor Constantine. The Colonne di San Lorenzo (St. Lawrence's columns) are actually a remain of the Roman "Mediolanum", dating from the 3rd century AD. Further south the square you can see Medieval Porta Ticinese (there is also a homonymous newer gate which lies about 600 m south by Corso di Porta Ticinese).
