A library that once hid Leonardo’s secret notebooks. A skyscraper looming like an alien outpost above ancient streets. Shadows still linger from a single shattering explosion. Milan is a city with layers deeper than marble and mysteries darker than any catwalk.

This self-guided audio tour peels back the city’s polished surface to reveal the hidden stories pulsing beneath. Roam at your own pace to uncover dramatic moments, whispered rebellions, and scandals left out of the guidebooks.

What dark motive led to the shocking bombing in Piazza Fontana? Why did the Torre Velasca spark outrage with its strange silhouette? Which forbidden texts did the Biblioteca Ambrosiana once struggle to protect?

Wander through centuries in a single afternoon. Every twist leads to secrets untold and scandals echoing down cobbled lanes. See Milan as insurgents, librarians, and visionaries once did.

The city’s secrets await. Press play and begin.
