Bella Milano
Spin on the bull, climb the marble, end on the canals.
Milano in one bella giornata: the marble mountain of the Duomo, the heel-spin on the Galleria's bull (three turns, it's the law of luck), La Scala's doorstep, the Sforza fortress, the refectory wall Leonardo painted — and an aperitivo finale on the Navigli when the canals turn gold. Dress like you mean it; this city notices.
The stops
Six centuries of marble and 3,400 statues. Team photo in the piazza with the facade — then find the golden Madonnina at the very top and point her out on camera. Terraces climb = +10.
Find the bull mosaic and do the tradition properly: heel on the spot, THREE full spins, on video. Milan's luck, earned the traditional way.
The most famous opera house on Earth hides behind a modest face. Most dramatic opera pose on the doorstep — hold the final note.
The Sforza fortress, Leonardo's old employer. Photo at the Filarete tower + find the fountain the locals call "the wedding cake."
Leonardo's Cenacolo lives on the refectory wall (book weeks ahead — seeing it is +15). Otherwise: thirteen-seats-one-side team recreation OUTSIDE in the piazza, tastefully.
The artists' quarter. Find the prettiest doorway on Via Madonnina or Via Fiori Chiari — the team argues its case in the note.
Leonardo engineered these canals; Milan turned them into the aperitivo capital of Italy. Golden-hour photo over the water — spritz for the 18+, anything orange for the rest. Salute.
