Last weekend, in addition to hiking the wonderful Cinque Terre, I also had the opportunity to spend an evening in Milan before the wedding festivities began.  Milan is completely different than other Italian cities like Florence, Rome, and Venice, being the Italian center of fashion, commerce and industry.  With that said, it is still an amazing place to visit.  Below are some of the shots I tok while wandering around the city center that evening.  Enjoy!

The two pictures below are of the famous and stunning Duomo di Milano.  This is the second time I have visited Milan and this cathedral never ceases to amaze me.  It is by far my favorite church in Italy.

Directly next to the gothic cathedral lies the Galleria Vittorio Emmaneule.  A spectacular sight, it is almost identical to the arcade in Naples.  I started shooting here right as the sun was going down and they had just switched on the lights.

The following shots are of Milan Fountain (pretty creative name eh?) and Sfozesco Castle.  I heard the nickname for this fountain translates to “Wedding Cake Fountain”, but who knows… This took like 10 attempts because my tripod and camera are obviously too small for people to notice and not walk in front of

I hope you enjoyed!  Don’t forget to vote for my photos!  Thanks!
