The look of Milan is rapidly changing. The urban environment of these last years is not the same anymore. Ever higher buildings soar to the sky as to grasp it. The city skyline has changed quickly and dramatically from what was the past centuries, when nothing could ever be higher than the madonna of the Duomo. A vertical, mirroring and glimmering Milan, thanks to the impressive glass surfaces that cover almost the entirety of the newest skyscrapers, is growing side by side with the historic and horizontal city, creating evocative glimpses to be caught and savour.
