According to locals, this is one of the best places to live in Milan. Corso Magenta, a busy shopping street, has many opportunities to enjoy the city’s cosmopolitan flair. The area is steeped in history, with Da Vinci’s “The Last Supper” in the church Santa Maria delle Grazie and the Basilica of Sant’Ambrogio, one of the oldest and most important churches in Milan. The surrounding alleyways house small shops and galleries.
