Milan, fière métropole du nord : Duomo, château, hippodrome géant et San Siro :soccer: J'ai toujours trouvé curieux de voir des équipes furieusement rivales se partager le même stade... Auguri Luca ! :balloon: Mon collègue italien est fier de ses racines siciliennes :wink: Alors en hommage, quelques clichés pour tenter de rendre justice à la beauté de son Italie natale :it:

Milan, the largest Northern city of Italy. The faintest hints of clouds cannot hide all the landmarks of this bustling city: Duomo, castle, hippodrome and the Inter Milan / AC Milan stadium. My buddy and fellow ESA astronaut Luca Parmitano has his roots in Catania, Sicily. He always talks about it fondly (in true Luca style without ever stopping and very poetically :blush:) but he has never taken me there to visit! I have been to many other places in Italy and always enjoy the food and culture. Happy Birthday mon ami!
