From the Archives: Milano

This summer I've been scanning in negatives like a mad man, hence all of the stuff from the archives. I was only in Milano for a day in 2002, but man was it awesome! Anyway, these were all taken with a disposable camera, so the focus and color aren't the best...

Here's a pic of the Dolomites from the train as you leave the tunnel from Switzerland:


Here's a statue of Da Vinci in the Piazza della Scala in front of La Scala opera house:


Behind Da Vinci is the entrance to the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II:


Which is an incredible enclosed mall (the architect fell to his death from a balcony here on opening night, d'oh!):


The Duomo is probably one of the most amazing churches I've seen:




The incredible Stazione Centrale on the way back to Geneva:


I was on a whirlwind tour conducted by the little old aunt of one of the girls I was traveling with, so I didn't get nearly enough pics. Other highlights that I saw: Castello Sforzesco, the Mercato di Viale Papiniano which was filled with punks, an a half dozen old churches.
