Italy's working capital, in every sense. Milano's distinctive professions are entrepreneurs, architects, journalists, and the priests and archbishops of one of Christendom's oldest sees — the trades of the city that runs Italian publishing, design, and football all at once. The notable births stretch back to a Roman ancestor of the city, but the centre of mass is squarely in the postwar decades, and the actor and footballer benches are both among the deepest in Italy.
One face per century — the most globally famous figure born in Milano during each.
