About Milan and its gay life
Milan is the second largest capital in Italy after Rome and the capital of Lombardy.
It is located in the Po Valley and is therefore characterized by a mild Mediterranean climate with warm summers and moderately cold winters.
Founded 400 BC by the Celts, Milan was conquered by the Romans in 222 BC and repeatedly plundered and destroyed during the Barbarian Invasions. From 774 on Milan belonged to the Frankish Empire. In 1162 it was destroyed completely by Frederick Barbarossa. After reconstruction, a golden age followed, and under the noble family of the Sforza Milan became one of the leading cities of the Italian Renaissance. The Sforza brought Leonardo da Vinci to the city, who worked at their court for nearly 20 years and in that period produced some of his most eminent works.
