Putting Milan on the Map

Milan is the capital of Lombardy (Lombardia), the most densely populated and economically Davos Malles
developed region in Italy. The population of Milan is over 1,300,000 (second only to Rome). Zernez Venosta

This figure does not include the many people who live in the suburbs – which have spread
outwards over the years – who depend on the city both for work (there are large numbers
of commuters) and entertainment. The city lies in the middle of the Po river valley (Valle
Padana) and has always been a key commercial centre. Today it forms part of an industrial
triangle with the cities of Turin and Genoa. Milan’s position makes it an ideal starting point
for visits to the Alpine lakes. Lake Maggiore and Lake Como are close to Milan, whereas Dimaro
Lake Garda is further east, with the western shore part of Lombardy, the eastern shore
part of the Veneto. Ponte di Legno
