Well, people are saying there's not much to see. True... but, you don't have places like this all over the world in every town. And the street itself is nice and charming.

My husband changed his mind on his main course before the order was complete and the waitress was quite rude and seemed annoyed at... More

but is worth a visit if you go on the last Sunday of the month when the antique market is held. You can see where the women used to wash their linen on small slabs by the canal.

This is a lovely reminder of old Milan. A well preserved village washing area surrounded by wonderful restaurants. A gem!

It'a a corner on one of the Navigli (old milanese channels deputy to moving goods) where women used to wash their laundry. Good if included in a nice walk of the area. Last Sunday of the month there's a antiques market.
