1) Il Duomo
This is really THE main thing to see in Milan. The reason is that Milan was heavily bombed during WWII, so there really isn't much old stuff still standing. Thankfully, Il Duomo still stands! When I was in Milan last year, this is what it looked like:
As you can see, it is mostly blocked by that big board. They are cleaning it up! Now it looks like:
They are making progress! If you look closely, the board shows you the progress they have done in the past few years. They are almost done!
2) The Bull
To the left of Il Duomo is another section of Milan that wasn't blown up. There are murals on the ground and the most popular is one of a bull. Don't ask me why but someone from who-knows-how-long-ago said that if you put your heel on the testicles of the bull and rotate, it will bring you good luck! Of course, I couldn't miss the chance!
Good luck! Good luck! I take it all! ;-)
And what does the bull look like last year?
See? So many people have done it that it has a hole in it! And now?
Now the hole is MUCH deeper! (OUCH! Poor bull. ;-) )
My sister said that every year they fill in the hole and every year, a new hole is created. Funny huh? In Italy!
Anywayz, those are some of the few changes in Milan that were really obvious and I wanted to share! :-)

wow... that's crazy. Didn't know that Italy was so amuzing. A developed country yet certain wako things. The Americans would make a law not to touch the bull's balls. he he
HAHAHAHHA!!! That really funny, fascination! Now that I think about it, I think you are completely right. good ol' USA would definitely make a law about it. :-)
