Milan

Also Known As Milano
Europe

Milan occupies the center of the Po Basin in northern Italy, on the plain between the Alps and the Apennines where Alpine meltwater rivers cross fertile lowland, a position that made it the natural hub of Lombardy's roads, canals and railways. Italy's second city by population at about one point four million, it anchors one of Europe's densest urban and industrial regions.
