Italy's city in a hurry
Hardworking Milan blends business and style
(...) Despite its cold, foggy winters, hot, smoggy summers and a reputation of being about as charming as Liverpool or Detroit, hardworking, prosperous Milan is proud to be different – and not just from other Italian cities. (...) The city has set its own rapid pace and prag¬matic standards, never mind what the rest of Italy thinks. In the process, it has become the center of a dramatic eco¬nomic recovery that saw Italy's growth rate rise from 5% four years ago to 3,5% in 1984, before dropping back to a still respectable 2,7% at the end of last year. Says Socialist Mayor Paolo Pillittery only half jokingly: "This city gives birth to more businesses than babies."
But the city is more than the font of newfound prosperity; it is a major player on the international scene. Next to New York City and Paris, Milan is the world's top address for chic. Together, the Milanese fashion leaders Versace. (...)
Today Milan is also Italy's design capital for furniture, household goods and other products. (...) It also dominates the national industry, with 683 Milan-based agencies. (...)
New visions in telecommunications and entertainment are being spun daily from Milan – ideas that may resonate throughout Europe and the rest of the world in coming years.
At the same time the city has maintained its traditional industrial muscle. Automakers, steelmakers and the state owned telecommunications-equipment manufacturer Italtel are headquartered here. (…)
For all its push, Milan is not free of the problems that plague other big cities in Italy and elsewhere. Drug abuse and petty crime are major con¬cerns. The city has some of Europe's most polluted air; its streets are clogged by rush hour traffic snarls and its high population density contributes to a serious housing shortage. But the go-go Milanese seem convinced that they are dealing with these drawbacks more efficiently and more quickly than the European neighbors.
Milan is neither the seat of Italy's religious establishment nor its temporal establishment; those distinctions belong to Rome. But in terms of prosperity, productivity and creativity, Milan can and does claim to be the nation's de facto capital. (...)
The popular rivalry between the two cities is nothing new. It is as much a source of humor for some as it is a cross cultural tug-of-war for others. (...)
But Milan gets its share of criticism from such dyed-in-the-wool Romans as actress Gina Lollobrigida, who shud¬ders at the thought of leaving her villa on the old Appian Way for the north¬ern business center. "When I think of Milan," she sighs, "it brings back awful memories of opening the window and not knowing whether it is day or night outside. For anyone who is used to Rome, the sun is as essential as the air itself."
Milan can hardly compare with the capital as a tourist attraction. After seeing Leonardo da Vinci' Last Supper at the Santa Maria delle Grazie monastery and peeking into Il Duomo, most visitors hurry on to Florence and Rome. (...)
Indeed many travellers and resi¬dents alike may feel that Milan has more in common with New York City than with the rest of Italy. (...)
Milan's successes, like its problems are best understood by getting to know its people. They are accomplished, wor¬kaholic, pragmatic and, by Italian stan¬dard, sometimes rudely in a hurry. (...)
It would be a mistake to assume, however, that the business-minded Milanese are indifferent to the arts. The city boasts a first-rate Art Museum in the Pinacoteca di Brera and one of the world's most famous opera houses, the Teatro alla Scala. (...)
Thus Milan is not only finance and enterprise. It is fashion and design, a slightly chilly work ethic blended with a warm regard for culture. "We have two souls," says Milan born Professor Umberto Veronese, Director of the Na-tional Cancer Institute. "We are at¬tracted by Europe but also by the lure of the Mediterranean. The Milanese have an idolatry of efficiency, but we feel sometimes that southerners are happier than we are."
