Milan, founded in 590 B.C., historically lagged behind Rome, Florence, and Venice in cultural prestige. The city began its transformation during the Italian economic miracle post-World War II, becoming a hub for design as companies like Pirelli and Fiat supported innovative designers. By the 1980s, Milan rose to international fashion prominence. Key architectural feats over the centuries, including the iconic Duomo, exemplify this development, showcasing Milan’s diversity and architectural significance. The Duomo, started in the 14th century and finished in 1965, highlights Milan's cultural journey.
Milan's transformation from an overlooked industrial hub to a prominent design capital demonstrates the city's cultural evolution, especially during and after the Italian economic miracle.
Despite being overshadowed by Rome and Florence, Milan's emergence in the 20th century as a design and fashion center reflects its rich architectural history and industrial prowess.
