Welcome to Milan!Welcome to Milan!

The Youth Moving guide to Milan is not the typical touristic gui-debook; we bet that you already have one explaining you the history of the Duomo, of the Castello Sfor-zesco and maybe suggesting a “Mi-lan in 3 days” itinerary... Don’t you? The Youth Moving guides and the community www.YouthMoving.com are usually designed for movers: pe-ople planning on spending months, maybe even years living in the city, but this is a very special edition de-dicated to all the people coming to Milan during the six months of EXPO. Apart from giving you useful infor-mation about the city, transport, some slang, things to do during this months (in collaboration with Expo in Città) and when you will come back – we know you will – and so on... We decided to give voice to some movers coming from dif-ferent countries of the world who have lived in Milan, making them interviews about their experien-ces to give you some authentic tips.

You will find out that Milan is much more than the Duomo and La Scala and we hope that after your stay you will feel a little bit Milanese yourself!

If you like the idea and you want to share your tips about your city with other movers, take part in the Youth Moving community or discover one of the many things you can do, sign up to www.YouthMoving.com!

About the City

Aboutthe City

People from other parts of Italy often think of Milan as a foggy city populated by businessmen and snobs. People from other parts of the world probably have heard of it because of its known fashion, desi-gn, opera, football and international fairs, but Milan is much more than this. In fact, the “New York Times” has recently indicated Mi-lan as the first destination to go in 2015 arguing that it is the most vi-brant city in Italy. Of course, 2015 is the year of “EXPO Milano 2015”, the Universal Exhibition that the city will host from May 1 to Octo-ber 31 proposing the theme: “Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life”.

A BRIEF HISTORY Milan was foun-ded around 590 BC by the Insubres, Celtic people, and was captured by the Romans in 222 BC. It was the ca-pital of Roman Empire from 286 till 402 AD. Here in 313 AD, Constantine with the Edict of Milan, guaranteed freedom of religion for Christians. Milan became a prosperous cen-ter of trade during the High Middle Ages and played a major role in the Lombard League. Later, Milan beca-me the capital of the Duchy of Mi-lan, which was ruled by the Visconti, the Sforza, the Spanish and the Au-strians. In 1796 it was conquered by Napoleon’s French troops, only to be given away again to the Austrian Em-pire during the Congress of Vienna of 1815. In 1859, the city was eventually annexed to the new Kingdom of Italy leading its industrialization process. During World War II Milan was terribly affected by Allied bombingsand after German occupation in

1943, it became the main center of the Italian resistance movement. In the post-war years Milan enjoyed a prolonged economic boom at-tracting large flows of immigrants from Southern Italy. During recent decades the city has become more and more international, turning into a sort of gateway to Italy for people from all around the world.Milan has already hosted an EXPO in 1906 dedicated to transporta-tion and settled in the area behind the Castello Sforzesco, the current Parco Sempione, with more than 200 pavilions. The Milan Interna-tional, titled “L’esposizione inter-nazionale del Sempione”, marked the opening of the Simplon Tunnel

THE LIFE Milan is a thriving cosmo-politan city, where you get the feel of a bustling, busy, fashionable business capital. This is the place in Italy whe-re the latest trends and innovations are produced, where the heart of Italy’s business is, and where the fu-ture is more important than the past.

The relentless lifestyle here is unique in Italy, combining hard work and good fun, which allows for even the busiest businessman to enjoy the endless possibilities Milan has to of-fer in the areas of culture, shopping, sport, music, opera, and nightlife.

EXPO Milan 2015 During the last years Milan has become more and more international and the Universal Exhibition is expected to be the great confirmation for the city. The Expo is going to be a global showcase where more than 140 participating countries show the best of their technology to answer to a vital need: guarantee healthy, safe and sufficient food for everyone respecting the planet. During the six months of the exhibition, Milan is going to welcome over than 20 million visitors, many of them coming from other countries of the world.

City ZonesCity Zones

1.ARCO DELLA PACE: In the middle of a quiet residential area fa-cing Parco Sempione on the opposite side of the Castle, there is a beauti-ful Arc built by Napoleon in the 19th century. In front of it you will find a pedestrian zone full of trendy bars, famous for their aperitivo. The best season to enjoy the Arco della Pace is probably in the spring, when the area is most vibrant and you can enjoy a drink or a meal sitting outdoors.

3.CENTRO: The city center is an area dedicated mainly to shopping: the famous Quadrilatero della moda, starting from via Montenapole-one, is home to the most chic boutiques in the city. The whole area is full of shops, from the little craft workshops to the international megasto-res. You will find pretty much anything you may need and more, with a huge range of quality and price. Also, if you want to be a tourist for a day, this is the place to go to: the Duomo, the Castello Sforzesco, the Teatro alla Scala, the Galleria, the Museo del Novecento, the Palazzo Reale and most of the famous ancient buildings in Milan are located in this area.

2.BRERA: It’s one of the most ele-gant and picturesque districts of the city; its narrow streets are home to plenty of bars, restaurants and shops. Everything here is quite chic and high-class, but the district con-serves some of the bohemian charm coming from having been the artists’ neighborhood of the city. Here, you can also find the Pinacoteca di Brera, the Teatro Strehler and lots of fortu-ne-tellers ready to read your palm.

4.CHINATOWN: Just dropped your new smartphone and watched it smash into hundreds of pieces? Pick them up and bring them to one of the many electronic shops around via Paolo Sarpi. Then, while you are here, you can take a look around at all the different shops and check out their wide selection of goods of any kind at very affordable prices. And of course, you can enjoy a cheap meal in an authentic Chinese restaurant where Italian is (sometimes) still con-sidered a strange, foreign language.

6.COLONNE DI SAN LORENZO: One of the most famous spots of Milan’s movida. The square between these roman columns and the Ba-silica di San Lorenzo is the meeting point for a young crowd that popu-lates the many bars around the area from happy hour until late at ni-ght. When the temperature allows it, people will often enjoy a take-away drink, an improvised concert, a cheer for Becksman (you will get to know this Milan urban legend) and a chat with some fellow strangers.

5.CITTÀ STUDI: The area surroun-ding the Politecnico and the scientific faculties of Università degli Studi di Milano is known as Città Studi. Even if it is quite far from the city center, it is served very well by public transport and has a metro station in piazza Pio-la. Many movers choose to live here because it is near to their university, rent is cheaper than in the city center and there is a youthful atmosphere due to all the students and parties.

7.CORSO COMO: This area, just alongside Garibaldi Station, is the heart of Milan’s most fashio-nable nightlife. From happy hour until late at night, plenty of bars, restaurants and clubs are ready to entertain the trendy crowd step-ping onto this pedestrian area. Lots of new buildings, skyscrapers and shops have been built in this area during recent years for EXPO2015. Piazza Gae Aulenti (inaugurated in 2012) is an awesome example; you should definitely check it out!

9.NAVIGLI: Originally a working-class residential district, the area sur-rounding the artificial canals of Milan still conserves part of the atmosphe-re from the last century. The craft workshops have been replaced by lots of bars and restaurants and the residential quietness by a lively and so-metimes noisy nightlife, making it one of the most popular spots in town for a night out. However, you can also still find an authentic friendly at-mosphere and picturesque scenery. Many students choose to live here because the rent is not as high as in many other more central districts.

8.MOSCOVA: Home to many of-fices and important companies, the area is also a lively nightlife spot. On via Solferino and corso Garibaldi you can find many restaurants and bars with luxurious happy hours. The pri-ces are generally quite high, but near Largo La Foppa there’s a bar ran by a bunch of Chinese guys which sells cheap drinks and beer. You will notice them because of the crowd outside. If you are more interested in culture than in nightlife, you can go to the Cinema Anteo, which offers a different experience from any other cinema.

10.PORTA ROMANA: It is south-east from the city center and not far from Università degli Studi and Università Bocconi. It is probably not the most famous nightlife zone of the city but it is still quite central and well connected. There are many good bars and clubs in this zone often crowded by both locals and movers. The “Roman Gate” which gives the name to the entire zone was comple-ted by 1596, on the occasion of Que-en Margaret of Spain visiting Milan.

12.TORTONA: For a few years now, this area has been considered the district of design and creativity thanks to many events and exhibitions that take place here throughout the year. Most of all, during the Salone del Mobile (usually in April), this area is a must see for designers, artists and for anyone who wants to live by the saying “I was there” and wants to at-tend every radical-chic event at any cost. If you just want to relax and enjoy the bars and pubs, our suggestion is to come here a different time of the year. On March 2015, the Museo delle Culture (MUDEC) was inaugurated.

11.PORTA VENEZIA: This square,with its historical gate in the middle, today is one of the busiest crossro-ads in Milan’s everyday life. On one side of it there’s the Indro Montanel-li Gardens with the Museo di Storia Naturale and the Planetarium. On the other side, there is corso Bue-nos Aires, a long, busy shopping street. Its surroundings also host a great number of trendy, under-ground or gay pubs and clubs. The-re is a wide range of multicultural and ethnic restaurants in the area.

TransportTransport

Milan is a big city and moving by car especially during the EXPO period, can be a really stressful experience. Luckily, there are other ways to move around, most of them provided by the Milan Transport Company (ATM)

SUBWAY The Milan Metro cannot be compared to those of the biggest European cities like London, Paris,Berlin or Madrid. Nonetheless, it is the most efficient one in Italy. It is made up of four lines (MM1 red, MM2 green, MM3 yellow and the brand new MM5 purple), plus a rail link made up of 5 suburban lines covering more than 80 km. Two metro lines are under construction and should be completed in the next few years. The Milan Metro is opened every day from 6 am till 00:30 am

SURFACE TRANSPORT In additionto the metro Milan has a good bus & tram network system serving both the urban and suburban areas. The metro is the fastest and usually the best option, but surface transport is comfortable and efficient especially for short distances. Many people prefer it because it allows them to enjoy many of the city sights.

MILANO MANGA FESTIVAL This year, the third edition of the Milano Manga Festival (MMF) takes place from 10 to 14 June at Fabbrica del Vapore (via Giulio Cesare Procac-cini, 4). The Milano Manga Festival proposes a wide range of contents which, starting from Manga, extend to typical Japanese cuisine – decla-red Unesco heritage – to all the Ja-panese arts. The aim is to create a big event which would involve both tourists and locals and to represent a new starting point for cultural exchange between Italy and Japan.

HAVING AN APERITIVO In Italy the aperitivo consists of some snacks – usually chips, peanuts or small squares of pizza – which are usually served for free together with your pre-dinner drink. But Milan’s aperitivo is famous for being much more than this: with the price of your drink you have access to an all-you-can-eat buffet where you can fill your plate with appetizers, pasta, pizza, rice, sandwiches, slices, fish, meat, fruit and much more. The aperitivo - which usually lasts from 6pm to 10pm – can often replace your dinner and be the perfect beginning for your night out. Navigli, Brera and Arco della Pace are the most famous zo-nes to have an aperitivo because they are full of bars with huge buffets. If you want to try something more sophisticated, go to Bobino (Alzaia Naviglio Grande, 116) on Thursdays: you will find a great BBQ and a high-quality buffet in a unique garden. Show this guide or say “erasmus” at the door to take advantage of the special offer we have prepared for you!

AROUND THE BULL’S BALLS You may have been taken aback by this title but if you have ever walked into Galleria Vittorio Emanuele, you have probably seen people spinning around with one foot on the ground. You may have also asked yourself what they may be doing... Well they were spinning around in circles while standing on a marble picture of a bull, more precisely they were standing on the bull’s balls. This strange yet traditional act is known to bring good luck to those who spin around three times on their right heel. In fact, so many people have done this throughout time that the bull’s balls have actually just become a hole that got carved onto the marble’s surface.

LATE NIGHTS “DAL LURIDO” If you know what the word “lurido” means, you will probably change your idea about eating in these places as it means dirty... Actually it’s just a nickname given by Milanese youngsters to refer to food carts that sell sandwiches, hamburgers and salamelle (Milanese for sausages). They work during the night and the majority are crowded by people on their way back home from the club who are seeking to reduce their drunkenness or simply have the munchies. Buon appetito!

WHEN YOU COME BACK:

SALONE DEL MOBILE Every April in Milan there is a famous one-we-ek international fair where interior designers from all around the wor-ld come here and you can enjoy art and design exhibitions all around the city. It is a unique chance to see some of the world’s finest internatio-nal design creations. Although a lot of people couldn’t care less about it they still come to Milan because of all the parties taking place throughout the week for the so-called “Fuorisa-lone”. During this week, you will find hundreds of events, open bars, chic happy hours, exclusive DJs and clubs.

DERBY DELLA MADONNINA The two football teams from Milan are AC Milan and FC Internazionale – for short called Milan and Inter – which face each other at the San Siro Sta-dium at least twice a year. For days, or even weeks before kick-off you can hear the locals talking about the derby anywhere and at any time: in the morning while having breakfast at the bar, at work, at lunch, on the bus, at night while at the pub, and even after the match is over there will also be days, or even weeks of tactical analysis and mocking of the losing team. The derby is indeed one of the most important sporting events for the people of Milan and, if you have the chance, don’t miss out on the opportunity to watch it live at the stadium and experience the passion coming from eighty thou-sand fans supporting their teams with songs, chants and hugechore-ographed display shows covering whole sectors of the stadium. You might want to know that the seats at the San Siro Stadium are divided into four different colours: green or blue behind the goals and red or orange along the sides of the field. The second green ring (Curva Nord) is home to the Inter ultras, while op-posite stands the second blue ring (Curva Sud) is where the Milan fans

sit: you really wouldn’t want to go into one of these sectors wearing a scarf of the opposite team! The rest of the stadium is usually mixed, with the majority of supporters from the team that is playing the home match.

OPERA ALLA SCALA The Teatro Alla Scala, known for short as La Scala,it is one of the most famous theatres in the whole world and because of its prestige and perfect acoustics it is often referred to as the Opera Tem-ple. Its season traditionally opens on the 7th of December, the feast of Milan’s patron. It offers opera, ballet and classical music. Although its premieres and social events are only for the luckiest and wealthiest people, there are still many events opened tothe public throughout the season. It is also possible to buy an “under30 pass”, which grants di-scounts, guided tours, and more.

Art & CultureArt & Culture

Fashion events, huge aperitivo and late night clubbing are not the only things you can do in Milan. In fact, here you are also surroundedby art and culture and you will soon be aware that they are part of the Italian lifestyle and they affect people’s behavior. If it’s the first time you visit Milan, you must go to the Duomo, to the Castello Sforzesco,to Santa Maria delle Grazie to see the Cenacolo (the Last Supper) and so on. But you should also know that during the six months of EXPO Milano 2015, the city has prepared and organized a wide range of exhibitions and art activities. We list some of them, but you can find more visiting it.expoincitta.com/Calendario/Appuntamenti

Bergamo is divided into upper (Alta) and lower (Bassa) town: Bergamo Alta is a medieval walledhilltop town that has been highly influenced by Venetian style in an artistic and architectural way; here you can find beautiful monuments, churches and buildings; walking through its old squares you can also enjoy awesome views. Bergamo Alta sits on a hill above Bergamo Bas-sa, the modern city. Ber-gamo hosts the Orio al Serio airport, well known in Italy for its low-cost fli-ghts.You can reach Ber-gamo in about an hour by train from Milan.

Pavia has many artistic and cultural treasures, including several im-portant churches and museums such as the famous “Certosa”, one of the largest monaste-ries in Italy, founded in 1396. The Certosa would be enough to deserve a visit to the city, but it’s not the only notable thing to see: there are beau-tiful churches includingthe Cathedral of Pavia, San Pietro in Cel D’Oro, San Michele Maggiore or San Teodoro. The Uni-versity of Pavia is rich in architecture and decorwhile at the Castello Visconteo you can find interesting exhibitions

It has been named a Wor-ld Heritage Site by Une-sco for its architecture and urban structure. Its artistic heritage is very important, covering al-most two millenniums of history from the Roman era to the present day. Verona is also famous for being the setting of the Shakespeare play “Romeo and Juliet”and you can visit the house with the famous balcony of Juliet, see the statue of her in the courtyard and her grave. Today, history, music and art meet thanks to the lyri-cal season at the Arena, the ancient Roman am-phitheater.

Milan is fashionMilan is fashion

If you’re a girl, well... You were probably already breathing fashion in the cradle as a baby!

Milan is the core for fashion, style and eccentricity; It keeps it’s secrets about new trends, colours, and fabrics under wraps regarding their use for the upcoming season. If you are a fashion victim, trend blog-ger, or just simply stylish person, Mi-lan is your heaven. From a cocktail at “Terrazza Martini” to an informal drink at “Arco della Pace” you will most likely sense this ultra fashionableatmosphere anywhere you go.

Twice a year Milan reaches its climax:men and women fashion weekslight the streets with a happy and colourful crowd-changing metropolitan landscape with a deep and artistic metamorphosis.

It’s clear that those who were born in Milan standout as different

from the time of their birth. This is most certainly due to the fact that being born here you are constantly in touch with a strong sense of culture, art, a wide rangeof events and thoughts which have a unique and deep value.

Milan is a cosmopolitan city and Youth Moving has its largest commu-nity of movers in the city of EXPO 2015.

Many young people come to Milan to study in one of its many universities and academies; in fact, Milan is home to some of Italy’s most important educatio-nal institutions, 7 universities and many international academies. It has the largest number of univer-sity graduates and postgraduate students in Italy and many of them come from other cities of the world. Milan is also considered the Italian financial and industrial hub and many internatio-nal companies have their of-fices here. For this reason, it’s the first destination in Italy for international interns and workers.

During these years we have met many international guys and girls and we helped them to find accommodation, job and useful information about the city connecting them to other movers or locals in Milan with our website www.YouthMoving.com and organizing meetings and events. In this guide we want to make the same for you, so we have decided to interview some movers coming from different countries of the world who have lived in Milan, asking them questions about their experiences here, with the aim to give you some authentic tips for your staying. If you want to find other in-formation or share something about your city, join the commu-nity on www.YouthMoving.com!

In Italy there are lots of dialects: there are regional ones as well as very local ones. So much so that there could even be two neighboring cities which speak two different dialects but still have a hard time understan-ding each other. In Milan there is a very particular accent, the dialect is going out of fashion and it is spoken mainly by older people. Neverthe-less, as in the majority of Italian cities, in Milan there are a lot of slang expressions used mostly amongst young people. Some of them are qui-te normal while some others are really weird. Here you can discover some of the most famous and common expressions among locals. Enjoy!

Milan SlangMilan Slang

56

IN BOCCA AL LUPO Italians are very superstitious. For example, openly wishing someone “buona fortuna” (“good luck”) is actually thought to bring them bad luck so don’t do it. In order to overcome this, a few strange expressions have been created. The most common is “in bocca al lupo”, literally meaning “in the mouth of the wolf”. So if somebodytells you, for example, “in bocca allupo per il tuo esame” (“in the mouthof the wolf for your exam”), he’s wishing you good luck for your examand, for the scaramanzia to workout, you have to answer “crepi!”(“may he die!”). We know it sounds like nonsense, but this is how these things work everywhere in Italy (not just in Milan).

DI BRUTTO Literally “in an ugly way”, means “very much”. For exam-ple “ieri mi sono divertito di brutto” (literally “yesterday I had fun in an ugly way”) means in fact “yesterday I had lots of fun”. It is considered sort of a street slang/zarro expression, so saying for example “ti amo di brutto”shall not be considered the most romantic way of saying “I love you a lot”. Other common slang expressions for saying “very much” in Milan are “a nastro” (“as tape”), “a manetta” (“as throttle”), “a bestia” (“as beast”).

TOP “Top” in Milan is a one-word sentence used to express appro-val for something. Sometimes it replaces “ok”, mostly in the mobile chats. In fact, every real Milanese must have the emoticon in their most recentlyused WhatsApp icons!

Expo

Page 57: International Guide to Milan EXPO 2015

RIPIGLIARSI It literally it meanssomething like “to get yourself back” as in the process of recovering the health of body and/or mind after a hard situation, like a shock, an injury or maybe just several drinksand a crazy night out. A variationof this term, with exactly the samemeaning, is “riprendersi”.

57

PAURA Literally “fear”, is commonly used by Milan youngsters as an adjective to express enthusiasmfor something. For example “staserac’è un concerto paura” doesn’t meanthat tonight there is a satanic concert, but an awesome one. Sometimes you can also use “da paura” or “pauroso” (“frightening”).

BELLA It is literally feminine for “beautiful”, but in Milan this word is not only used for girls. In fact, it is a common way young people use to greet each other and/or to express agreement. So even if you are a male, don’t worry if when you meet an italian friend he shakes your hand saying “bella!”: he’s not trying to seduce you, he’s just saying hello (probably)!

B e l l a !

ZARRO A “zarro” is a person, or the stereotype of a class of people,mainly from the suburbs or out of town, who tends to be loud and straightforward. “Zarri” are normallyseen by other people as gross, harassing and ignorant. The term can also be used as an adjective for things that relate to the zarro life-style, such as pimped-out cars and scooters, some dance or technosongs, certain clothes etc. Other common terms to refer to a zarro are “tamarro”, “truzzo” and “tabbozzo”.

2015

Page 58: International Guide to Milan EXPO 2015

TANTA ROBA Literally means “lots of stuff” and, much like “pau-ra”, it is used to express enthusiasm for something. An example would be “quel film è tanta roba” (literally “that movie is lots of stuff”), which actually means “that movie rocks!”.

ZIO Literally “uncle”, is a slang word to address somebody, pretty much like “mate” in english. Origi-nally used by the zarri (see “Zarro”), this expression has now spread amongst many young people of all kinds. If somebody calls you his un-cle, it means he’s relating to you in the most informal possible way, like if you have been friends for a long time. A lot of people use it every other word: the risk (often happens to Milanese guys) is to say “zio” to your girlfriend or to your brother or sister. It could be kind of awkward!

58

LIMONARE Literally, “to lemon”, it refers to the act of french-kissing (aka kissing with the tongue). There-fore, a “limone” (“lemon”) is a french kiss. This word is very common and used all over Italy... You will pro-bably even hear a song during your nights out here called “limonare”!

SBATTI Short for “sbattimento”,it refers to anything that preventsa Milanese from enjoying lifelightheartedly, and also defines the very condition of uneasiness that it causes. Hence the most commonexpression of displeasure in Milan,which you’ll hear every time somethingstresses, worries or scares a local: “che sbatti!!!”

CAZZEGGIARE: This expres-sion means “wasting time in activi-ties of little or no importance”. For example, “ho cazzeggiato tutto il pomeriggio su facebook” means “I wasted all afternoon on facebook”.

BABBO This word means “fa-ther” in many parts of Italy and it is commonly used in Tuscany by all the children. Also in Milan young people say it a lot, but for unk-nown reasons, here its meaning is completely different. In fact, if someone calls you “babbo”, they are telling you that you are a loser!
