Milan Off The Beaten Track: Porta Nuova and Citylife

Porta Nuova is the new amazing neighbourhood of Milan dedicated to business, residence and leisure time. Join me in this incredible journey through examples of skyscrapers and really innovative architectures. The spire tower of Unicredit, countless trees of "Vertical forest", Pirelli tower, Diamond buildings, a big park called "library of the trees" creates the new square of Milan where to meet and chill out. I am going to tell you the history of the impressive transformation of the old "outskirts"of Milan, a bad reputation district that has become a new meeting point for locals and tourists created by contemporary architecture. Citylife district represents the "new born" Milan and it's a fast-moving district. The three towers Straight, a by the japanese architect Arata Isozaky; Twisted, designed by Zaha Hadid with a curious shape and Curved by Daniel Libenskind transform completely the skyline of Milan. The perfect tour to discover how the city is changing and becoming every day modern and international.
