The Verziere (old-fashioned Italian word for "greengrocery market"; also known as Verzee, in Milanese) was the traditional greengrocery street market of Milan, Italy. The market itself has been relocated several times, and it is now in Via Lombroso, east of the city centre; the word "Verziere", anyway, still refers to the main historic location of the market, where it was held from 1776 century until 1911. The new greengrocery market of Via Lombroso is more properly referred to as "Ortomercato" (another Italian word with the same meaning) or "Mercati Generali" ("general markets"). The "Verziere" area has been a symbol of Milan, and notable Milanese scholars such as Carlo Porta and Carlo Maria Maggi celebrated the Verziere in their works as the place where both the Milanese dialect and the Milanese culture was represented in their purest form.

The Baths of Hercules (Latin: Thermae Herculianae, Italian: Terme Herculee) were the largest thermae in the ancient Roman city of Mediolanum (modern-day Milan).

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.

The Piazza Fontana bombing (Italian: Strage di Piazza Fontana) was a terrorist attack that occurred on 12 December 1969 when a bomb exploded at the headquarters of Banca Nazionale dell'Agricoltura (the National Agricultural Bank) in Piazza Fontana (near the Duomo) in Milan, Italy, killing 17 people and wounding 88.

San Carlo al Corso is a neo-classic church in the center of Milan. The church is managed by the Servite Order. The church facade was designed in 1844 by Carlo Amati and was finished in 1847. It then served as a model for the Chiesa Rotonda in San Bernardino, Switzerland, 1867. The complex was built to replace Convent of the Servite founded as early as 1290 and later was suppressed in 1799. The new church was built in thanks for the ending a cholera epidemic, and dedicated to Saint Charles Borromeo who was the Bishop of Milan during the time of the bubonic plague in Milan during the 16th century.
