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.
