From the introduction:
"With its proximity to Switzerland, Austria and France, Milan feels closer to the continent than the Italian peninsula, and it does align itself with the business hubs of Europe. It is often claimed that the city is not as animated by food, family or free time as the rest of Italy (whether this is true is contentious) and certainly the flurry of development since Expo 2015, from a restaurant boom to clusters of bold skyscrapers, has imbued it with refined air. But then this is, after all, a place fixated by style, where looking your best is a way of life."
