As I was candidating myself as Milan mayor :), of course not everything is positive in the city, in this list you can also see some problems.

You know you're from Milan when...

- everyday you blame the traffic in the city
- everyday you take the car (NOT ME)
- you know you have to add 10 minutes to the times written on the bus stops
- you know it’s easier to tame (=domare, in Italian) a tiger than conquering a posh girl from Milan ahahaha (complicated girls)

- you want to beat somebody if they point a camera at you... mwahahahaha paparazzi!!! (because in Milan we feel to be vips :)

- for every ten words you say, "minchia" and "feega" (figa) (bad words referring to female sex :) come out minimum three times (you know, bad words are the first things you learn in a foreign language)
- if things are not precise, you get nervous
- you know that using the bike means risking your life
- actually you are proud of being from Milan (I AM :)
- when you meet someone else from Milan, your first question is: “but from Milan-Milan?” (because many say they're from Milan even though they live in the suburbs)
- you hate pigeons and people who feed them
- you know exactly how not to be stopped by people who try to sell you bracelets or politics newspapers
- if you have to pay the rent of the apartment, probably you’re not the happiest person in the world
- "Ausiliari del Traffico" are your worst enemies (a sort of policemen, but ordinary people usually with faces of idiots, doing that job, giving fines to cars)
- if you ride a bike or a scooter in Corso di Porta Romana your hands are gonna shake for 10 minutes more because of the pavè antique floor
- at least once you have been woken up by L'Arrotino (old job by a man) or by useless communist demonstrations / a pacifist march against war
- you wonder why they don't put some more lights in the Red and Green lines of the Metro
- you wonder why the announcement for the strikes of ATM (public transports, metro lines) seems to come from the moon
- you would prefer to meet Hannibal the Cannibal than going around Central Station in the night
- you would prefer to be poisoned than taking a swim in the Navigli channels
- if you are a man, during the Fashion Weeks you are either very happy or very sad because of all the models in the city
- you don’t understand why at the front office of “international tickets” of the Central Station there’re only Italian speakers
- if you take 90-91 or 95 in the night you're gonna be the only white person on the bus
- you hate all the tourists that make you wait in queue to have a panzerotto to eat at Luini's
- you still don't understand why people come from other regions just to study at IULM (I UNDERSTAND BECAUSE I STUDIED AT IULM :) ...IT'S BECAUSE OF BEAUTIFUL GIRLS !!! AHAHAHAHA)
- no matter of blue, yellow lines and sidewalks: in the night you park your car where you find a place (if you find one) (and anyway also if you wanna pay, you don’t know where to buy a ticket)
- when in the night the traffic-lights start to be intermittent, the “law of the jungle” becomes reality
- if in the night you see a little light spot in the sky, you feel to see the stars
- you don’t buy anything to drink in “Todos a Cuba”. You just use it as a bathroom
- if you are the first car on a red traffic-light you should move with a reaction-time of 0.001sec if you don’t want the other cars to horn to you
- typical fog and sometimes rain remind you of England and Oasis :)
- Milan flag reminds you of England :)
- you love and hate it, but anyway “Milan l’è semper un grand Milan” (="Milan is always a great Milan", in Milan dialect)

18 June 2010
The most famous Italian romance novel in a theatre opera
from the most famous literature work by Manzoni,
the love story between Renzo & Lucia in Milan and its region
for the first time an event of this kind @ San Siro stadium
this is the musical event of the year.

you can see a preview @ Duomo cathedral square on 29 April
(free tickets on 28 April)

I Promessi Sposi, l’evento musicale dell’anno!
Finalmente in scena l’opera moderna dal romanzo di Alessandro Manzoni con la musica di Pippo Flora e la riduzione teatrale e la regia di Michele Guardì.
Il racconto è noto, l’amore contrastato tra Renzo e Lucia, ma la sua modernità ci parla di temi universali: l’Amore, il Potere, la Giustizia, la Fede.
Dieci protagonisti, dieci comprimari, quaranta ballerini, un coro di quaranta elementi, una spettacolare scenografia con tre grandi palcoscenici ruotanti su un fronte di quaranta metri di Luciano Ricceri, i costumi di Alessandro Lai, le coreografie da grande teatro musicale di Mauro Astolfi, le luci e gli straordinari effetti speciali di Franco A.Ferrari, l’Orchestra Sinfonica diretta dal Maestro Renato Serio: questi gli ingredienti per proporre uno Spettacolo che celebra il più grande romanzo italiano con continui rilanci all’attualità.
A fare da cornice a questo spettacolo lo Stadio G.Meazza, che per la prima volta nella sua storia ospiterà un evento musicale di questo genere.

Manzoni statue in Milan historic centre.
He was from Milan (19th century), and his main book, "I promessi sposi" is a masterpiece in Italian literature: it's about 17th century in Milan and places around, and about the difficulties of a young couple in marrying. With happy end :)



"innamorati a Milano" (lovers in Milan), Ornella Vanoni

..."if you only knew how it's 'different' to be in love in Milan... and to date in Milan... but, in this 'impossible' place, you told me you love me, I told you I love you..."

(song by Memo Remigi, in 1974 he published a compilation of songs about Milan titled "Emme come Milano"- M as Milan, and this was the song of TeleMilano58 channel by Berlusconi, then becoming the famous Canale 5)

Ornella Vanoni (born in Milan), Tu mi ricordi Milano (you remind me of Milan)
"...Milan strange face... people leaving and arriving everyday... you're similar to these Navigli channels dressed with fog... your old city streets, your shyness, I walk them around... then coming back around Milan centre I'll feel inside me your tenderness... behind your eyes: windows always filtering some poetry... you're as the heat of a breath stopping beside you when it's cold... I wanna take in my hand the great Milan and your freedom... now I turn off the lights of this city... I love you (ti amo)... I come back home with you... Milan (Milano)... home with you... I love you (ti amo)... home with you..."
