Milan - Piazza San Babila

From Piazza Belgioioso the Corso Matteotti, with fine modern buildings, runs east to the Piazza San Babila, which has been considerably enlarged since the Second World War, with large modern blocks and the little Romanesque church of San Babila. From the southwest corner of the square the Corso Vittoria Emanuele (pedestrian precinct), lined with elegant shops, leads towards the cathedral.
