Jul 5th, 2008 at 6:30PM: I wanted to pick a great 4th of July shot to feature today, but then came across this amazing composition by pirano. Taken in Milano Centrale station, this photo manages to capture the hurried rush of two people running to catch their trains. But at the same time, being taken in black and white, the photo miraculously makes the central station seem very calm and organized. Definitely a shot ...Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

Jun 25th, 2008 at 9:30AM: When most people are asked to think of an Italian airline, they automatically think of Alitalia, the struggling national carrier known for mediocre service that was almost bought out by KLM and Air France earlier this year. Few outside of Italy actually know of the nation's second largest carrier, Air One, a privately held company that until now has flown mainly to domestic destinations. With the ...A virtual visit to Milan's famed fashion show
Jan 16th, 2008 at 7:54PM: Fashion week can make a pretty big dent on any city. New York's traffic gets even worse than it is when the annual show rolls around at Bryant Park. Same with Paris and London's. And now it's Milan's turn. I've never ever been close to a fashion show, but I guess for some people, attending one would be a dream come true. For me, it's simply far more fun to mock one from this blog. I just came ...Milan's Canals Rival Venice's Famous Waterways
Oct 3rd, 2007 at 9:49AM: My experience in Milan was speedy and dirty; I had a several-hour layover in the city that I spent wandering around outside the train station. I literally had pesto between my toes, a pigeon that ate some bad Chinese pooped all over me, I witnessed one of the drunk men lounging on the overgrown grass outside the station break a bottle over another drunk guy's head, and I paid 3 Euro ($6) for a can ...The World's Longest Tunnels

It will eventually cut the travel time between Zürich and Milan from 3.5 hours to 2.5. Four tunnel boring machines are working the job: "2 southbound from Amsteg ...Kill Flies with a Map of Milan, Italy
May 3rd, 2007 at 5:15PM:
From the Why not? department: "the quintessential lifestyle navigator," Charles & Marie, are stocking a fly swatter patterned with a Milan, Italy street map. Yes, those little lines you see represent streets in Milan, so that you can -- SNAP! -- smash a fly at the corner of Via Senato and Corso Venezia if you so choose. Much cooler, if you ask me, than killing flies with a regular old fly ...Wallpaper* City Guides
Oct 1st, 2006 at 9:34PM: Just when you start to sleep on Wallpaper* they go and make their debut in the publishing world with these nice little City Guides. Their reason being, after 10 years in the game uncovering the best new design and urban travel spots globally, packaging that decade of experience into well-thought out yet simple guide books was only obviously. They make it clear that the traveler's time is as ...
