Last time I went to Milan, I remember that when I was in an empty alley with my wife I noticed something and my wife did as well, it was the only moment in the city we weren't smelling cigarette smoke. The city is beautiful and alive, but the pervasive smoking everywhere diminished my interest in ever going back.
- Vampiero 2y agoMilan is the industrial heart of the country. If you didn't want to smell smoke (implying that exhaust smoke doesn't outweigh cigarette smoke by several orders of magnitude) you should've gone to a place near the sea or the mountains instead of going to one of the only landlocked regions that is known especially for its still air and constant fog (because it's a huge plain), on top of being one of the most densely inhabited areas. Seriously, take a plane from anywhere to Milan and you'll know you've entered Lombardia when you can't see shit anymore. One moment you see circular rainbows and hills and mountaintops and rivers, and the next moment everything fades to white. Also that city is not beautiful. It's like one of the ugliest places in Italy. It's so sad. There's this lone building all covered in trees [1] that taunts you by showing you how much prettier the city would be if it wasn't a soulless slab of concrete and advertisements where people with rich parents go and waste their fortunes on worthless startups.
