After living in Milan for a year, compared with Italian cities such as Venice, Florence and Rome, Milan is not so profound in history and culture. However, it is a fashionable and designed city. I don't know how many design weeks and fashion week-related activities are held here every year. Fashion people from all over the world flock here to see various trend indicators. Among them, brera District is the literary heart of Milan. There are not only brera Art Museum, brera Art School and many unique design studios here, but also a special exhibition area was opened for them in Design Week. There are also many retro shops scattered in the alleys, waiting for ancient lovers to visit. Most antique shops here sell high-quality antiques, including many out-of-print works by Pierre Cardin, Chanel and Gucci. The shopkeeper is familiar with the age of each treasure, the story behind it and every tiny detail.

No.6 Carpool Street, Milan (brera District)

The shopkeeper is an old lady who often sits in a chair by the window and knits sweaters. She doesn't speak Italian very well. When I first went, I stuttered with her in English mixed with Italian. The old woman is very kind. When she picks up an antique, she can tell its age, brand, handmade details and even defects.

Navilio market is located next to the Grand Canal in Milan. It is open on the last Sunday of every month. The booths on both sides of the canal are lined up, and even the fork in the road next to it is full of booths. Very lively. Friends call it the canal market.

It has been half a year since I came to Milan unconsciously, and I have also caught up with several canal expositions. Today is the last Sunday in February. Although the temperature has plummeted recently and there is light snow in the sky, it still can't kill the interest in visiting the Expo. It snowed just right. It's Milan Fashion Week recently, and young ladies in cool clothes can be seen everywhere on the street. The temperature has not affected everyone's love of beauty at all, and it feels like the whole city is on the show floor.

For me, the interesting thing about Europe is that it preserves old things very well. Whether it is vintage antiques or antique jewelry furniture, everyone cherishes it and inherits it, so today we are fortunate to see the glory of that day. Antique market is the best place to touch and see with your own eyes. Although compared with China, online shopping and express payment here are very inconvenient at present, it is precisely because of this that the antique market has its significance. People will be willing to go out and see more and see more. Every object at hand may have a story behind it, and those of us who bought these old objects will continue to write this story and become participants in it. Maybe you can find out-of-print ancient books or well-preserved early masterpieces, but it's more like sleeping with them, just like falling in love with them.

? I received a few beloved little things in the canal market. Most shopkeepers accept bargaining, making 2 euros more common, which means that the price of buying you a cup of coffee is also very Italian. After visiting so many markets, Italian Xiaobai also learned a common phrase "Quanto costa?" Hehe, it means asking the price geometry.

Vicenza is actually a small city in Italy, but it is famous for its jewels, and is called "the city of jewels". Every year, there is a top jewelry exhibition that can lead the trend of the industry-Vicenza Jewelry Exhibition in Italy. It is a world-class famous jewelry exhibition, which is as famous as Basel Jewelry Fair in Switzerland and Las Vegas Jewelry Fair in the United States.

This is the first jewelry museum in Italy:

There is also a Sunday antique market in Vicenza, because the whole city is small. When all the stalls are put out, they not only occupy the main square, but also occupy the surrounding streets and alleys. It can be said that it is an urban market with a large scale and a large crowd.
