The "Quadrilatero della moda", with the original Armani, Dolce & Gabbana, Ferré, Krizia, Missoni, Valentino, Versace and Zegna outlets. Both street and district take their name from a state pawnshop ("Monte"), opened here under Napoleonic rule.
.:. "Montenapo", as the Milanese call it, used to be a must not only for window-shopping but also to experience the rarefied and exclusive atmosphere of well-heeled Milan. It is not by chance that the area has been pedestrianized.
.:. In this area are two of the most important museum-homes in Italy: Museo Poldi Pezzoli, with its exceptional collections of paintings, old fabrics, antique clocks, sundials, bronzetti, an armoury designed by Arnaldo Pomodoro, and Museo Bagatti Valsecchi, a fantastic mix of Renaissance pieces and 19th-century comfort.
.:. Most people reach Montenapoleone and its museums from nearby Piazza San Babila.
