Navigli Canali

I visited the famous Navigli canals last Sunday, with my Danish friend from school!  This is one of the main spots where all the young Italians gather in the evenings.  The canals once surrounded Milan to protect the city from Barbarians, and that is also how the marble was transported from the Northern mountains to create Il Duomo (Milan's grand cathedral).  Leonardi DaVinci perfected the canals so they're pretty important!..I am interested in Italian history. :)

We happened to be so fortunate to discover that a Christmas antique market takes place on the last Sunday of every month along the canals.  Navigli has such a romantic atmosphere.  It reminded me of Firenze (Florence).  Here are my pictures!

Meet Kathrine, my Danish classmate!

I got to see Il Duomo at night, on my way back home. :)
