The chapters on Milan's modern architecture are what sold me—I didn't expect a book to balance the history and the new skyline this well. The section on the Vertical Forest especially makes me want to book a trip just to see it in person.

The photos of the Vertical Forest alone are worth it, but the writing actually explains how those towers fit into Milan's older skyline. I've flipped through it twice and keep finding new details in the architecture shots.

I picked this up before a trip and ended up reading most of it on the plane. The way it pairs Milan's history with newer architecture like the Vertical Forest and Rem Koolhaas's work made the city feel layered rather than just pretty.
