I was surprised to fall in love ❤️ with Milano. Its changed a lot since I was here. Or maybe living in Paris now I see more. What a beautiful city!
I walked around the rooftop of the Duomo
The lines to get inside were too long
Not to be missed inside or out.
Egg yolk yellow and melon and add jambon for the color of Milano's beautiful palazzos
The museum Brera is exquisite
Empty. Everyone else is shopping…
Carpaccio or Bellini. I forget but many masterpieces.
Another Italian masterpiece.
Have a Colazione or breakfast standing up in a cafe. All the time I worked in Italy designing shoes, I never did this. Why? So much fun.
From cafe Savini in the Galleria
Italian women have simple elegance nailed
More style than copy-cat Parisians IMHO.
Even baby clothes are eleganza. My high school Italian has come back.Thank you Mr. Capauldi 👍
Inside the divine Galleria Vittorio Emanuelle . Everyone is shopping da corso.
The monstrous statione Centrale train station.
I'm off to paint in Tuscany at Volterra tomorrow.
Thanks for reading Parisbreakfast!
Or pass on to someone you think might enjoy it.
I love your commentary. And the fact that the gelato server is wearing a suit and tie.
ReplyDeleteI found everyone so elegant in Italy's large cities..and even in the countryside..women in dresses..all ages..
ReplyDeletethe men were positively exquistely dressed too..
in Perugia..the men..stunning!:)
One thing that struck me..is how many elderly couples are also beautifully turned out..walking hand in hand.
And the fancy auto stradas on the interstate..great espressos..and cornettos..and fancy pastas.
Dear Carol, these pictures from Milano are very beautiful and help me to see a place I have never visited.
ReplyDeleteWhenever I see or hear the word Milano, I immediately think of the lovely, eccentric little lady named Luxor whose shop Paracelso on West Broadway was one of the original SoHo boutiques. She is from ... Milano. The shop is still there.
xo
I WANT TO GO THERE - NOW!!! hahahahaha Oops...just woke up (must've been dreaming!)

ReplyDeleteBellissimo!
Italian gelato!!!! Like nothing else!
ReplyDeleteI was lucky enough to visit Venice and Verona in July, and agree the Italians are relaxed and stylish. Now I want to visit Milano. Can't wait to hear about Tuscany, I've never been there either!
After France, I love Italia & do agree the Italians are very elegant. The shop windows are always stunning & I yearn for authenic Italian Gelato. Had pine nut gelato in Rome once & I still dream about it.
ReplyDeleteOK, I am sending this link to a friend who is visiting Milano in October. She will appreciate it!
ReplyDeleteOn my list of places to visit, thank you Carol for this lovely post. Look forward to seeing what you see & paint in Tuscany.
ReplyDeleteYou had me at "Milano" but for all the wrong reasons: one of my favorite supermarket cookies😀But no matter, the city looks enchanting

ReplyDeleteIt is so stylish in Milan. The shot of the elegant woman dressed in white with the orange tram coming round the bend is like a scene when I was there.
ReplyDeleteLove the beverage bottles, too.
