Milan is known as Italy’s “moral capital.” Milanese believe that their positive work ethic has led to Milan becoming a world capital of fashion, design, finance, business services, and media and publishing. Milan is also famous for its art and architecture, as it is the home of Leonardo da Vinci’s Last Supper and a celebrated Gothic cathedral, the Duomo.
