The project
The city's alternative story
The project offers a narrative-cultural journey that delves into Milan’s historical roots leading to the discovery of a rich and authentic heritage that is not well known. The digital tool makes it possible to immerse oneself in the hidden charm of the urban suburbs and explore what the city has yet to tell.
