Overview

Discover a side of Milan that few visitors ever see. Beyond fashion, design and business, Milan was one of the most important battlegrounds of World War II in Italy. It was here that Fascism reached its height, where resistance networks organized against Nazi occupation, and where the struggle for freedom helped shape modern Italy. Your journey begins in the city center, where Fascist power was projected through monumental architecture, propaganda and political control. Continue to Milan Central Station, one of the most powerful symbols of the Fascist era. Visit the Memoriale della Shoah, built around the original deportation platform known as Platform 21. Your experience concludes at Piazzale Loreto, one of the most symbolic places in modern Italian history. Through monuments, hidden locations, personal stories and historical landmarks, this tour offers a powerful and thought-provoking exploration of what Milan looked like during WW2.
