textes by Sabrina Carollo
illustrations Barbara Bongini

Milan is a treasure chest of riches and oddities waiting to be discovered. This tour designed with children in mind exhibits a journey through the major wonders of this city, combining adult interests in art and architecture with kid-friendly fun in the discovery of history, symbols and legends.

Written clearly and plainly, charting a possible travel itinerary along the streets of the city center, the small volume offers brief inquiries and suggests a playful approach towards museums and works of art, helping little ones enthusiastically and attentively observe places of extraordinary significance like the Castello Sforzesco, the Basilica of Sant’Ambrogio, the Scala theatre, and the navigli canals.

As in the case of the other volumes from this series dedicated to Florence, Venice, Rome and Siena, the illustrations in this book are paired with photographs and are designed specifically for little ones, allowing them the chance to appreciate one of Italy’s major cities from a different viewpoint than that of adults.
