Weeks 3 and 4:
These last two weeks were packed but exciting! Week 3 was probably my favorite so far, featuring a multitude of museum and gallery visits, including the Alfa Romeo museum, Artemide lighting, and the Castiglioni gallery. My favorite was probably La Scala on Monday though, I never thought I would enjoy a vocalist/opera so much before!
The latter part of week three was an overnight trip to Treviso and Venice. I had my favorite meal of the trip in Treviso at Le Corderie, where the appetizers were absolutely amazing. And then it was fascinating to finally see Venice, a city I’ve seen in movies and pictures for so long.
Over the weekend I visited Pisa and Monterosso, and went to an AC Milan game. Then we had our final week of the program, featuring the Armani Silos exhibit, the Triennale, and the trip to Alessi in Omegna.
I really feel like I’ve been settling in during these weeks, getting used to daily life in Milan, starting to use Italian more, and engaging with people outside of the program. It’s also been really nice to meet everyone from IES Abroad and learn about their lives in Milan.
Some photos from Venice I was proud of:
