This book is the first comprehensive post-war history of one of
Europe's most vibrant cities throughout an extraordinary period of
social, cultural and economic change. The capital of Italy's
economic miracle of the 1950s and 60s, Milan was a magnet for
immigrants, as industry, design and culture created a heady mix of
wealth, innovation and conflict. By the 1980s, heavy industry had
all but disappeared and the city had reinvented itself as the world
capital of fashion and a dynamic post-industrial metropolis.
Meanwhile, the urban landscape was darkened by the bleak estates of
the peripheries and the corruption scandals that exploded in what
became known as 'Tangentopoli', or Bribesville.
This fascinating book traces Milan's 'biography' through its
buildings, design, fashion, cinema, families, immigrants and
television. The city emerges as a potent economic power-house and
laboratory for change, where art and culture converge in a modern
but problematic urban space. Anyone interested in Italian history,
urban studies or the future of Europe's cities will find this book
an essential read.
