And what could be more iconic for any fashion insider like Miranda Priestly or Andy Sachs\u2014aka Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway\u2014than a trip to a fashion show\u2026 and more if the mood strikes in Italy\u2019s economic and industrial capital: Milan.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The epicenter of Made in Italy<\/strong>, the Lombard capital saw the birth of the Prada empire<\/strong> 113 years ago. And the film features a whole host of filming locations<\/strong> that are just as many places to discover, only 1.5 hours from Paris by plane and 7 hours by TGV<\/strong>\u2026 much longer from New York (8 hours and 10 minutes by plane), but let\u2019s hope Miranda remembers that.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The base for Miranda\u2019s entire team<\/strong>\u2014the former fashion queen at the helm of Runway (partly modeled after Anna Wintour, the real-life editor-in-chief of Vogue USA for 37 years)\u2014the Palazzo Parigi Hotel & Grand Spa Milano<\/strong> has the advantage of being a luxury establishment while also serving as a link to the first installment of the film, which took place in\u2026 Paris.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Inside, however, it is the quintessential Milanese woman\u2014with her large sunglasses and impeccable sartorial ensemble in dark shades (scuria)\u2014who haunts the walls. This spectacular five-star establishment<\/strong>, with 54 rooms and 41 suites<\/strong> in the heart of Milan, offers privileged access to the Brera Art Museum.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n In the film, Andy Sachs dashes across it\u2014and not necessarily for the view, which she has plenty of time to admire from her hotel room. Yet the Piazza del Duomo<\/strong>, or Cathedral Square, is undoubtedly Milan\u2019s most iconic spot, alongside the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II and the Duomo.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n This landmark, with its 47-meter-high dome<\/b>, is home to Milan\u2019s temple of luxury shopping<\/b>, where you\u2019ll find the cream of international fashion houses, from Louis Vuitton to Gucci, including Chanel, Tod\u2019s, and Giorgio Armani<\/b>. Special mention goes to Prada<\/b>, which opened its historic boutique there as early as 1913. The hatmaker Borsalino<\/b> also chose this prestigious location for its first boutique. The site was named in honor of the first king of unified Italy<\/b>, Victor Emmanuel II. It notably serves the city\u2019s famous opera house, the Teatro alla Scala<\/b>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The second is Italy\u2019s most famous Gothic cathedral and a true symbol of Milan<\/b>, recognizable by its white marble fa\u00e7ade and 130 spires. Construction began in 1386, while its terrace notably hosted Alain Delon for the film Rocco and His Brothers<\/i> (1960). It was actually on this square that the Dolce & Gabbana fashion show was originally scheduled to take place.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n To enjoy a panoramic view, there\u2019s nothing like heading up to the Terrazza Duomo 21<\/b> cocktail bar.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Located in the Quadrilatero della Moda<\/strong>, Via Montenapoleone<\/strong> remains a must-visit hotspot for any luxury shopping enthusiast. Although relatively short\u2014just 350 meters\u2014it is home to more than fifty luxury boutiques, including Gucci, Prada, Louis Vuitton, and Versace.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n A ritual simply mentioned by Nigel in the film<\/strong>, he never misses an opportunity to share a table with designer Tom Ford at every Milan Fashion Week<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Founded in 1958<\/strong>, it is a true culinary institution<\/strong> in the Lombard capital. Renowned for its elegance and traditional Italian cuisine, it is above all the ideal place to enjoy fish and seafood in a setting inspired by 19th-century trattorias<\/strong>. Located at Via Pasquale Sottocorno, 6, east of downtown, near the Corso Indipendenza district.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Lombard capital, home to the House of Prada and the beating heart of fashion weeks, was bound to be part of Miranda Priestly and Andy Sachs\u2019 Italian getaway in the second installment of the film adaptation of Lauren Weisberger\u2019s novel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":507,"featured_media":196331,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"In *The Devil Wears Prada 2*, the trip is no longer to Paris but to Milan.
