San Carlo al Corso, Milan

The Palazzo Taverna is a late Neoclassical mansion in Milan, Italy, designed by Ferdinando Albertolli in 1835. It is located at 2, Via Montenapoleone, in the Porta Nuova district of the city.The building is notable in that it is reminiscent of Milan's Royal Villa and of country houses in general as the main body of the building is set back to form a courtyard next to the street. The entrance consists of an Ionic colonnade supporting a parapet. The two lateral sections have giant pilasters surmounted by triangular tympani.Today the mansion houses a Louis Vuitton store.

Scior Carera (Milanese for 'Mister Carera'; IPA: [ˈʃuːr kaˈreːra]) and Omm de preja ('stone man'; IPA: [ˈɔm de ˈprɛja]) are traditional, popular names used to refer to an ancient Roman sculpture located in Milan, Italy, at No. 13 of Corso Vittorio Emanuele (next to the Duomo). Before being located where it is now (on the facade of a modern building) in the mid 20th century, the sculpture has been in different places around the city, most notably in Via San Pietro dall'Orto. It is a marble bas-relief dating back to the 3rd century, depicting a man wearing a toga, with the right leg slightly put forward; it has lost its arms as well as its head. The latter was replaced in the Middle Ages, supposedly to represent archbishop Adelmanno Menclozzi. The name Carera is a corruption of the first word carere (Latin for 'to lack') of the epigraph found below the statue, a sentence credited to Cicero: Carere debet omni vitio qui in alterum dicere paratus est ('Anybody who wants to criticise someone should be free from all faults'). Another inscription below this one recalls the former collocation of the statue in Via San Pietro all'Orto as well as the role this statue has played in the 19th century during the Austrian rule of Milan; at the time, in fact, there was the common habit of attaching satirical political messages to the statue, much like what happened in Rome with Pasquino and other "talking statues". In particular, the so-called tobacco riots that started the Five Days of Milan (whereby the Milanese quit smoking to cause economical damage to the Austrians) was possibly initiated on 31 December 1848 by a message attached to Scior Carera. Because of the role of the statue in the fight for independence of Milan, its name was used for a satirical journal (L'uomo di pietra, Italian equivalent of Omm de preja) that was published between 1856 and 1864 and again after 1878.

Piazza San Babila is a city square in Milan, Italy. The square had always existed as a "largo" since Roman times, as the road to Bergamo would cross the walls of the Roman city. In medieval times as the city expanded beyond its Roman walls the homonymous basilica was founded, and the largo became an important crossroad in the city's intricated road network. Corsia dei Servi (now Corso Vittorio Emanuele II), corsia di san Damiano (now Corso Monforte), corso di Porta Orientale (now Corso Venezia), Contrada del Durino (now via Durini), Contrada del monte (now Corso di Montenapoleone) all used to cross here.Subsequently, from 1931 to 1948 the largo was widened and officially became a "Piazza", the old buildings were demolished and new ones were built in their place. The only building that survived the radical renovation of the largo was the basilica, which still stands today. New streets were opened such as Corso Matteotti in 1927 and Corso Europa in the 1960s. Nowadays the streets meeting in San Babila and the contiguous Largo Arturo Toscanini are, anticlockwise from the bottom, Corso Europa, via Durini, via Borgogna, Corso Monforte, Corso Venezia, via Bagutta, Corso Matteotti and finally Corso Vittorio Emanuele II.
