Milan is the main city of northern Italy, located in the plains of Lombardy. By population, Milan is Italy's largest city and the 3rd Metro Area of the UE. Municipal borders wrap a relatively small area (about 8 times smaller than Rome.) Milan is an alpha world full service city in GaWc inventory. The urban agglomeration includes Swiss territories in Canton Ticino: this does not imply any kind of administrative unity, though. The city is one of the world's major commercial and financial centers. The city is famous for fashion firms and shops (via Montenapoleone) and the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele in the Piazza Duomo, reputed to be the world's oldest shopping mall. Milan is one of the world capitals of fashion—along with New York City, Paris, London, Tokyo - and design.
