In 1946, with the reopening of the Teatro alla Scala (which had been bombed during the war), Milan once again rose from the ashes. During the 1960s and 1980s, Milan spearheaded the way of an important industrial development, in which Genoa and Turin also took part. It is currently experiencing some problems concerning the integration of the immigrant community and traffic, with a large volume of road traffic that very often brings the city centre to a standstill. In any case, the lights from the leading fashion labels and the recovery of some of its classical art gems have repositioned it as one of Europe’s leading cities. A place inhabited by elegant born negotiators entrusted with tradition, sophistication and ambition in equal measure, who afford the same passion to an opera at La Scala, with an eye on shares at the city’s stock exchange, or a football match at the San Siro. Portofino World ®, a World apart.
Following Italian unification, Milan was still not the political capital of the nation. However, it did emerge as the financial and cultural capital, a quality that it does not appear to have lost even today. The industry and infrastructures created by the Austro-Hungarians bore fruit. Milan saw significant growth in its population that brought with it a number of social conse- quences, such as the creation of unions, the first strikes and demonstrations and a large-scale protest in 1898 which ended in a number of incidents. Futurism emerged shortly after, identifying with the artistic, cultural and even political ideas of the time. Milan resisted the arrival of the Second World War and was the last major Italian city to remain under the control of the Fascists.
The Visconti dynasty took over power in the city. Famous artists flocked there and this age saw the building of el Castello and el Duomo. After the Viscontis, 1450 brought with it peace and another dose of art from the Sforzas. El Ospedale Maggiore, Ca’ Granda and Santa Maria delle Grazie, with the stunning Last Supper by Leonardo, were created by the powerful Sforza family. With the decade of the Renaissance, Milan also lost its staying power and became part of the Empire of Charles V. Spanish rule saw the building of more walls, which are still known as the Spanish walls, as well as Baroque works and a number of reconstructions. During the War of Spanish Succession, Milan was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire until 1859 with the exception of the Napoleonic period, which was when the city experienced a financial and cultural rebirth.
