after Saint Marco day (25 April, national holiday in Italy), “Nederland nationale dag” in Italië (organized with the Consolato Generale dei Paesi Bassi)

Milano (already "city with the best internet reputation" the other year) is one of the 20 cities that run for the European Best Destination 2013 title. Click here to vote and choose Milan (without registration).

Nice among the best cities is hilarious... you're lucky if you can come back home from there... criminals everywhere (Marseille the same). france is also the country with the most racist episodes in the whole world... Not to mention the assholes the Paris people are. Also, they have loads of art stolen (by Napoleon, etc.) from Milan, Venice and Italy. Not to mention all the food they copied from other countries and made it as if it was their invention. french wine, french fashion: definitely second rate.

Milan (Celtic foundation) has been interesting and vibrant at least since it was the capital of the western half of the Roman Empire. It was one of the most glorious of the Italian Comuni during the Middle Ages. It housed one of Italy’s most spectacular courts during the Renaissance. And so on. Leonardo da Vinci came from Florence looking for work and ended up staying a long time and achieving quite a lot, like many others have done since. Having always been in the thick of things, Milano is gifted with an impressive part of Italy’s heritage: it is a great city of art.
Have a look at the imposing marble Duomo, at our churches, palaces and museums. You will also be delighted by contemporary art and architecture. There’s so much more to Milan than just Leonardo’s Last Supper, the most famous painting in the world. Countless works of art are waiting for you, and nearly all of them are within walking distance.
While you visit, let the atmosphere of Italy’s most modern and advanced city seep in. You will be captured by the elegance and style; by the energy and the international flair. An incredible shopping experience for all tastes and pockets, in a place where design and fashion have made their home, the world capital.
Milan is the hub of Italian culture and media. If you are a music lover, you can’t miss La Scala. Many other orchestras and venues cater to all musical tastes, from chamber music to jazz. If you are a sports fan, no other city (first in the world) can boast two football powerhouses like AC Milan and Inter Milan, fiercely dividing the residents’ loyalties and supported throughout the world. And a very short trip to Monza will take you to the legendary Formula 1 racing track that has made Ferrari famous.
With so many things to do and see, take the time to simply enjoy yourself – relax and sip an "aperitivo" while you consider your options for dinner. Milan provides an overwhelming dining experience, as all Italian regional cuisines are richly represented, along with many others from the rest of the world.
Don’t forget that parks, green fields, canals and old farmhouses beckon a visit and will make you feel a lot more distant from the city centre than you really are. You will want to come back.

A few days to Milan woman fashion week (settimana della moda donna). Not only meeting celebrities, etc. (work for us paparazzi, lol) the main thing is catwalks of course, but the great majority of people have never seen them “live” in person, because you should be a journalist or someone working there.
If you want to come and see some catwalk, let me know marco@miamilan.com
It’s very exciting, because it’s something you always see on magazines and tv, it’s comparable to children for the first time entering the legendary San Siro stadium :), a big emotion really.
AC Milan Fly Emirates teamed up with EasyJet, the best low cost company.
The symbol of Milano is a woman… (Madonnina golden statue too :), protecting us from above).
It’s the best fashion week not only because it’s the world capital of fashion but also because, compared to London, Paris and New York, in Milan the weather and food are oh so much better ;)


“The more you have inside yourself, the less you need of other people. That’s why superiority of spirit makes you rather unsociable. The level of sociability is in inverse proportion to the intellectual value.
Sociability is the act for which the men warm to each other the spirit, just as, when it’s cold, you warm up each other’s body hugging each other. The more spiritual heat you have, the less you need of sociability: it therefore tends to increase when the spirit is reduced.”
(Schopenhauer)

In 2013 no “Giro d’Italia” arriving in Milano (as it used to be), but the classic Milano-Sanremo (also won by McLaren Specialized S-Works Venge bike and used by Mark Cavendish), this year starting from Assago on 17 March, to the “seaside of Milanese people”.
When I was a kid, at school they mocked me ‘cause I was a fan of cycling (a sport “for old people” lol), apart from (vengeance :) a blonde who was always singing the “Giro d’Italia” song with me ;D (“e intanto gira e vaaaa…” = meanwhile it turns and goes, lol - by Paolo Belli)

When we went to Madrid, we were living by night and then sleeping: I wanted to see on tv the “Vuelta a España”, and my companions fell asleep. When they woke up, they were like: wtf are you doing?! they found me fighting against pigeons ahahaha who wanted to enter the hotel room, and I wanted to see the Vuelta and save my companions from the pigeons attack lol (we laughed for years about this).
The heights by great men reached and kept were not attained by sudden flight, but they while their companions slept, were toiling upward in the night… and fighting against pigeons, LOL

Era da tempo che volevamo fare un recensione del famigerato (ora Mediolanum) Forum di Assago, non è la prima volta che accadono situazioni spiacevoli.
Sempre da lasciarti l'amaro in bocca, che ti viene voglia di chiedere dei rimborsi.
I complimentoni per il trattamento che hanno riservato alla gente pagante la giornata dedicata al tennis.
Dopo aver annunciato che le gare iniziavano alle 13, ci hanno fatto aspettare ore fuori al freddo, facendoci
perdere le gare dei ragazzi, coi loro genitori e parenti tra di noi.
Anche presi per i fondelli, da diversi personaggi distinti che si presentavano annunciandoci l'apertura "a minuti", "2 minuti", ecc.
Aspettavano, per le perquisizioni, i Carabinieri... che molto dopo sono arrivati e se ne stavano chiusi in macchina... troppo freddo fuori.
Come se non bastasse, siamo stati addirittura sgridati più di una volta, perchè all'interno non ci trovavamo seduti al nostro posto del biglietto, cosa praticamente impossibile, a meno che tutto il Forum si fosse alzato, in un effetto domino.
Non funzionerà bene mai niente in Italia.
Andremo sicuramente ancora al Forum e ne parleremo benissimo a tutti gli amici, parenti e conoscenti, anche
su internet.
Se poi a qualcuno viene la brillante idea di non usare la macchina per evitare il traffico e l'ingorgo che c'era fuori, e usufruire del "servizio" della metropolitana al Forum (5 euro), ovvero un'attesa interminabile (e non alla sera tardi, ma ad ora di cena del sabato!), terminata con un classico italiano: L'APPLAUSO della gente quando è arrivata. Come quando gli italiani applaudono l'atterraggio riuscito dell'aereo.
Addirittura hanno dovuto bloccare la gente di sopra ai biglietti, perchè la banchina era colma.

amazing day!!! Maria!!! Ana!!! walking down the first fashion street in the world with who? Maria Sharapova.
video - 0:29 Maria wonders where Armani cafè is (from Armani hotel)
1:12 Armani house
I filmed even Maria’s ass ahahaha @ 8:14 when she was tying her shoes, then I whistle :)
They are incredibly beautiful, especially Ana Ivanovic. More than models, who look sick. The people usually think I’m a F1 driver ^_^, this time at first they thought I was Maria’s “escort”, lol. I met many paparazzi, I even got a pass and went to the presentation among journalists, where I could NOT stay, lol. It was a whole adventure. I also helped a disabled boy, it was just a perfect day. It was not possible to film inside restaurants, bar and hotel, only @ Gazzetta dello Sport press conference.

I sell the plastic cups where Maria & Ana were drinking :)) (proof at the end), to who offers more :D
on eBay, click here

They showed to Maria a photo when she was 13, first time in Milan, and she said she was very thin.
also Ana said she likes Milano and the people, the warmth they convey.
Maria sounded a bit more “princess”, you know, and she did not stop for the photographers outside the bar and when she entered the conference. Ana stopped in both cases.
I think Maria is beautiful but too idolised, while the real beauty is Ana.

Tomorrow the games @ Forum (it’s also a charity), "la Grande Sfida" with Errani and Vinci.



Persone pessime incontrate: i fotografi (paparazzi), di una maleducazione esemplare.
Per non parlare della Gazzetta dello Sport (vedi post su Oasisblues) che ha rubato questo mio video, facendolo proprio, pure etichettandolo "Gazzetta TV", addirittura come "scoop esclusivo". Ridicoli.
