I'm definitely feeling a little better. It's been a busy period: some things have improved, but I've also felt some new pain. We're working hard and doing everything we can: the goal is to return as soon as possible, but above all in the best possible condition for myself and the team.
Despite its minuscule size, Backdoor 43 has charm. The four-square-meter space boasts soaring ceilings ringed with rows of rare whisky, yellowing vintage photographs and various other ephemera from butterfly collections to dangling carved hot air balloons, which is a surprising amount to look at in a bar that has only four seats and a to-go window (or the "drink away" window, as Backdoor 43 calls it).
On my first day in Milan for the 2026 Winter Olympics, I wandered to the heart of the city to admire the stunning marble facades of the Duomo and window-shop through the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II. The Piazza del Duomo was filled with Olympic spectators decked out in their countries' colors, and on one end, a long line snaked outside the official Milano Cortina 2026 Megastore, with hundreds of customers waiting to buy some of the event merch.
ROME -- A Slovak fugitive who had been on the run for 16 years was finally arrested when he turned up in Milan to support his national ice hockey team at the Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics, police said Friday. The 44-year-old man, who was not named, was wanted by Italian authorities for a series of thefts committed in 2010.

But if Rome is Italy's past, Milan is its present and future. It is the country's financial center, home to the Italian stock exchange. It's the world's fashion center, home to luxury brands including Prada, Versace, Armani and Dolce & Gabbana.

British post-holiday chatter is frequently peppered with remarks and references to the pennies saved once we return home with more loose change than expected, our bellies as full as our hearts after days ticking a new destination off of the ever-growing bucket list. As any thrifty traveller knows, it's all in the planning - yet it's the endless search and consequential indecision that all too often keeps the trip in the group chat. Faff no more, we say!
Or maybe you've followed his global travels via social media with his pitbull, Kuma, who accompanies him everywhere, from film sets to far-flung escapes.

There is a lot on the line in the first Milan derby of the season, but that in itself is something that should be celebrated. La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below) speaks about the essence of tonight's derby with a simple phrase: whoever wins takes the city.

Adrien Rabiot has joined Milan in what is a last minute signing for a player Allegri knows and likes. The midfield is one position that most would agree has been strengthened with the likes of Modric, Jashari and Ricci joining Fofana, Loftus-Cheek. Rabiot adds further strength with the departures of the likes of Musah opening up a spot for another player.
Style reverberates through the streets, like the echo of expertly cobbled heels clacking on the stone streets of Brera. When a work trip brought me to Milan Fashion Week, I jumped at the chance, determined to soak up an effortless sense of style via osmosis. I quickly learned just how much style is a part of daily life in Milan- I made the mistake of rolling out of bed in a loungewear set for my hotel's continental buffet.
