The first pop-up book on Milan, a 3D guide for children and adults. Milan revealed by the spectacular paper architecture of Dario Cestaro, in a pop-up book that recounts the city's history in simple texts and curious anecdotes. A fascinating journey through colorful pages that turn into Milan's most famous buildings, helping even the youngest of readers to recognize its principal landmarks: the Duomo, with its soaring spires; the Castello Sforzesco, with its imposing battlement walls; the Teatro alla Scala, temple of opera; the Basilica of Sant'Ambrogio, a medieval treasure chest dedicated to the city's patron saint; the Stazione Centrale, with its daring vaults of iron and glass; and the city's new skyline, redesigned by skyscrapers over 200 meters in height.
