Milan - global financial center
Posted: Wed Jun 20, 2007 12:54 pm
Hello, friends,
two weeks ago I made a business trip to Milan, Italy. Milan is one of the biggest financial centers in the world, it's ranked among the top ten along with London, New York, Frankfurt, Tokyo etc.
Thanks to my colleague Marek, I was invited to one of the banks in Milan to see the real interbank Forex market trading in action. This is a rare picture of the true interbank Forex trader's desk:
Among the Milan's firsts is its first shopping mall in the world near the famous Duomo cathedral. The shopping mall is still going strong:
Milan boasts the most prestigious opera house in the world, Milan's La Scala. I took the following picture on the piazza right in front of La Scala - there is an exhibition of plastic cows going on :
A funny thing is that some guy stole one of the plastic cows from the piazza, but he was not able to stuff the cow into his car entirely, so he was driving around Milan with the plastic cow's head sticking out of his truck. Thus, they caught him quickly
