The Duomo has to be the most beautiful cathedral I have ever seen! Unlike most buildings of its size, it is made from a very pale stone and therefore in the sunlight is astonishingly beautiful. Inside is equally as beautiful... apart from the dead guys, they're not that pretty. Note to the ladies - If you want to actually get inside the cathedral then you better hope its on a day you fancy 109 layers. I was refused entry on two separate occasions due to wearing an insufficient amount of clothing. My mum was also refused entry because she had a bottle of perfume in her bag.

Fancy building number 2: The Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II
Right outside The Duomo is The Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II. Home to stores such as Prada and Luis Vuitton. The first time we visited The Galleria was during the week of living in a hostel and struggling for permanent accommodation, in the mall there is a small hole in the floor where it is considered good luck to spin around three times on the heel of your right foot - maybe this is what shone the light on our amazing apartment!?
Fancy building number 3: Statue outside The Borsa Building
Also in Duomo is The Borsa Exchange Building. God knows what they do there, but I like their style. They have literally plonked a huge statue of a middle finger facing the opposite building. Charming, I know. However, it has made it on my 'must see' list!
