Allianz Tower (Italian: Torre Allianz), also known as Isozaki Tower (Italian: Torre Isozaki), is a fifty-floor, 209-metre-tall (686 ft) skyscraper in Milan, Italy. Designed by Japanese architect Arata Isozaki and Italian architect Andrea Maffei, it serves as the headquarters of the Allianz Group and the Italian parent company Allianz SpA.Locally nicknamed Il Dritto (Italian for "The Straight One"), it is the tallest building in Italy at 209 m (686 ft)—249 m (817 ft) with broadcast antenna—and with its 50 floors is the tallest to the roof. It is composed by eight modules by six floors each one, with the façade of the module composed by a triple-glass unit slightly curved to outside. The vertical succession of rounded forms create a feeling of slight vibration of the volume of the building as it rises upward. Elevations of the short sides are fully glazed and show the mechanical series of six panoramic lifts going up and down to the various floors of the building. In 2016, Allianz Tower was nominated by Emporis as the third-best skyscraper that was completed in 2015.The idea of an endless tower can be compared to previous ambitions of other artists such as Constantin Brâncuși, for example, who in 1937–38 installed one of his endless columns of Târgu Jiu in the park to create repeatable systems indefinitely.

Villa Romeo Faccanoni is an Liberty style house located on Via Michelangelo Buonarroti #48 in the city of Milan, region of Lombardy, Italy. The three story house, surrounded by a small garden, was designed by Giuseppe Sommaruga and built between 1912 and 1914. The expanded building now serves as the offices of the Clinica Columbus, with added surrounding clinic buildings erected in the former gardens. The small villa or villino was commissioned by the engineer Luigi Faccannoni. The architect Sommaruga employed the decorators Eugenio Quarti and Alessandro Mazzucotelli to complete respectively the interior and exterior ornamentation. Also of note are two naked statues of women, sculpted by Ernesto Bazzaro, that had been installed at the entrance of the Sommaruga-designed Palazzo Castiglioni, but removed due to controversy. In 1919, the house was sold to the engineer-entrepreneur and car company founder Nicola Romeo. The home was converted under the direction of the architect Gio Ponti and the surgeon Mario Donati into a medical clinic in 1938-1940. Damaged by the bombardment of 1943, the clinic was inaugurated only in 1949.The facade facing Via Michelangelo is rich with elaborate grills and metalwork by Mazzucotelli, who embellished light fixtures, garbage cans, and grills in balconies in vaguely floral designs. A four-story tower rises to the left of the entrance. The asymmetries of the design create a mannerist dynamism, almost fluid appearance, although the elements respect vertical and horizontal lines. The widening stairs at the entrance are marked in the center by two awkwardly rising dark stone column-monoliths that are barely linked to a second floor balcony. The facades is peppered by a mosaic of bas-reliefs depicting either floral elements or cherubs playfully arranging garlands. The asymmetric and staggered arrangement dispels their recognition as a frieze. The stone progresses from a darker and more rusticated base to a finer and but more polished stone brick work pattern, with rectangular stones of different sizes. The

Libeskind Tower or PwC Tower, also called Il Curvo (The Curved One in English), is a skyscraper completed in 2020 in the city of Milan as part of the CityLife development project. The tower reaches a height of 175 m (574 ft) with 28 floors, and a total floor area of about 76,000 square metres. It is the home for the Milan offices of PricewaterhouseCoopers. The project's designer and namesake is the Polish-American architect Daniel Libeskind. The curve of the tower slopes toward its counterparts in the development, the Isozaki and Hadid towers and the Piazza Tre Torri below.The Renaissance cupola is the basic principle behind Il Curvo's concept. It is reinterpreted through the concave movement of its elevation and it culminates in the crown, both distinctive elements of the project. The curved tower's facade is made of sustainable, state of the art glass, that will reflect the public space below and vistas around.

The Monument to Giuseppe Verdi is a bronze sculpture on a plinth located in Piazza Michelangelo Buonarroti in Milan, Italy. The statue stands in front of the Casa di Riposo per Musicisti (nursing home for musicians) which had been founded by Giuseppe Verdi, and where he is buried. A contest was announced for proposals for a monument, to be judged by a committee named by members of the Brera Academy. Initially the proposal of Antonio Carminati was selected but the sculptor died two years later. His model recalls a more expansive monument such as the 1897 Donizetti Monument by Francesco Jerace, but this time placing a sitting Verdi in the center of a rounded screen, flanked by two musical figures and a linear display of bas reliefs. The monument dedicated to the Italian opera composer was created by Italian sculptor Enrico Butti and it was inaugurated on 10 October 1913, on the hundredth anniversery of the composer's birth. The work is far less formal than Carminati's project, with Verdi pausing while standing with hands clasped under his jacket behind his back. The base of the statue are four allegorical reliefs: 1) In the front is Melody, represented by a young woman walking through a meadow of flowers between two groups of female figures; 2) on the right is Peace, symbolized a man and a woman holding hands with a ring of playing children and an ox all in a pastoral alpine setting; 3) on the left is Poetry, symbolized by survivors of a patriotic battle; 4) On the back is Tragedy, symbolized by images of suffering and pain.

The Battle of Mediolanum took place in 259, between the Alemanni and the Roman legions under the command of Emperor Gallienus.

The Battle of Insubria in 203 BC was the culmination of a major war, carried out by the Carthaginian commander Mago, brother of Hannibal Barca, at the end of the Second Punic war between Rome and Carthage in what is now northwestern Italy. Mago had landed at Genoa, Liguria, two years before, in an effort to keep the Romans busy to the North and thus hamper indirectly their plans to invade Carthage's hinterland in Africa (modern Tunisia). He was quite successful in reigniting the unrest among various peoples (Ligurians, Gauls, Etruscans) against the Roman dominance. Rome was forced to concentrate large forces against him which finally resulted in a battle fought in the land of the Insubres (Lombardy). Mago suffered defeat and had to retreat. The strategy to divert the enemy's forces failed as the Roman general Publius Cornelius Scipio laid waste to Africa and wiped out the Carthaginian armies that were sent to destroy the invader. To counter Scipio, the Carthaginian government recalled Mago from Italy (along with his brother Hannibal, who had been in Bruttium until then). However, the remnants of the Carthaginian forces in Cisalpine Gaul continued to harass the Romans for several years after the end of the war.
