I understand that "standard" Italian is that which is spoken in Rome, but is it different in Milan?

Milano is a big city with people from all parts... it is internationally important for fashion, business and also contains an internation airport... if you speak Italian, it will not be difficult to understand the majority of people in Milano. it is a little like asking: what dialect do they speak in New York?

It's even more easy to find Italian people talking Roman dialect in Rome than Italian people in Milan talking Milanese... Just because Rome is the Capital, that doesn't mean you'll find "standard Italian" there; in fact it's spoken more in the North of the Country than in Center or even more in the South.
Anyway, dialect in Milan is Milanese, which has nothing to do with other foreign languages; as all other dialects, it grown up by itself, of course influenced by migration and foreign domination. Compared to Italian, you can find a lot of word totally different and other are the same but may sound "strange" if you're not used to :)
But in the North everybody talk Italian and also the local dialect, while going South is more easy to find people more influenced by dialect than Italian language.

None.
Milano's local language isn't a dialect of Italian, is a dialect of the Lombard language that Unesco protects and defend even though Italy says is an Italian dialect.
Its name is Milanese.
Tourists will not have any kind of issues because all
Italians living in Milano speak standard Italian.
It is very hard learning online a local language of Italy, the best thing is to move in a little country close to really Milanese people, nowadays you will meet more southern Italians in Milano than Milanesi...in the little countries is different. Nowadays in Milano city there are some scholastic courses of Milanese because some real Milanesi want to learn how to speak their mothertongue, that is not Italian.

They, first of all, speak italian : however in small neighbourhoods
they talk Milanese, a mixture of french, spanish and italian!
4 example, in small bars, people they know each other, use this
idiom just to gossipping with out being understood by foreigners!
Some of these dialects are really nice and fun!
Ciao..John-John.
