Shopping
Known for its impeccable style credentials, the Quadrilatero della Moda rivals Fifth Avenue and Bond Street for its stellar shopping, hosting myriad designer boutiques.
Named after its defining streets, including Via Montenapoleone, Via Manzoni, Via della Spiga, and Corso Venezia, the area exudes a distinct Milanese charm
Via Montenapoleone, with its Napoleonic legacy, showcases luxury brands like Versace, Dolce & Gabbana, Valentino, and Bottega Veneta. While shopping, be sure to look out for the plaques commemorating famous former residents such as Italian poet Carlo Porta and composer Giuseppe Verdi.
The alluring Via Manzoni is home to designers such as Prada, Paul Smith, and Trussardi, and follows the ancient route to the Roman Porta Nuova, ending at Piazza della Scala. Here, the monument honouring the street’s namesake, novelist Alessandro Manzoni, stands in front of the Chiesa Di San Fedele.
