Food, football, and fashion-Milan has it all. The city is perhaps the most famous for its annual(一年一度的)Milan Fashion Week and its world-class soccer teams AC Milan and Inter Milan. And May will see it host the six-month Milan Expo, the theme of which is food and nutrition.
Milan may not be the first place tourists think of when they think of Italy. Rome is the most famous city in Italian history, Venice draws visitors who want to travel along its canals(运河) and
Florence is popular with art lovers. Yet Milan can often be left off tourists’lists. But although some see Milan as the “ugly sister” of these cities, according to Lonely Planets, in 2015 the city is “suddenly back in fashion in a big way”.

Milan’s famous opera house, La Scala, normally(通常)closed in summer, will also host daily performances during the expo, reported Fox News.
Not interested in opera? Don’t worry. Visitors who prefer sports may want to visit the San Siro stadium, home of the soccer teams AC Milan and Inter Milan. The stadium is one of the most famous in Europe and has seen many important games over the years, both in Serie A and the European Champions League.
So even if al l of its fashion and beautiful people can make Milan seem “soulless(缺乏灵魂的)”, as Lonely Planet said, it still has “a serious sense of history and place”. Many people will be discovering it this year, and eating great food from all over the world to help solve world problems. Will you?
