The major industrial city in Northern Italy.
It is located on the plains of Lombardy. The city proper has about 1,308,500 inhabitants (2004), but the population of the urban area (La Grande Milano, Greater Milan) is 4,280,820 people (2006 estimate).
Calculated within European terms, Milan's metropolitan area covers an area similar to that of Paris with a population of more than 7 million people. Milan's so-called Città Regione (City Region) claims more than 9.4 million inhabitants. By population, Milan is Italy's largest city, leading Rome by a wide margin, yet it is nearly half of Rome's size in land area.
The city is one of the major commercial and financial centres in the World. The city is famous for fashion firms and shops (via Montenapoleone) and the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele in the Piazza Duomo, reputed to be the world's oldest shopping mall. Milan is one of the world capitals of fashion—like New York City, Paris, London, Tokyo—and design. Indeed the English word milliner is derived from the name of the city.
Another famed product of the city is the traditional Christmas sweet cake Panettone. Milan is also famous for the Alfa Romeo motorcar and for its silk production. Milan is also one of the richest cities in the European Union.
Football is the most important sport in Italy, and Milan is home to two world-famous football teams: A.C. Milan and Internazionale. The former is normally referred to as "Mìlan", the latter as "Inter". Both teams play at Giuseppe Meazza - San Siro Stadium (85,700).
Milan's name comes from the Celtic Medelhan, meaning "in the middle of the plain"
