I visited a friend in Milan in the early 90s...drove the Ligurian coast, saw a full eclipse of the moon from hotel balcony in Santa Margarita. I remember blood orange juice, espresso and fresh amaretti in the cafe in Mombaruzzo. Milan amazed me with the variety of colors presented by the globs of phlegm on the sidewalk, I kid you not, many fluorescent green. Take lots of money if you go.
