Special Milan Episode!

English News Weekly… in Milan!

This is the last of our special summer edition of Hiroshima University’s

English News Weekly Podcast. In 2013 ENW travelled three incredibly

interesting European cities - Paris, Edinburgh & Lisbon. This summer, ENW

is on the move again to another 4 European cities. The last city finds ENW

travelling to northern Italy and the major financial city of Milan.

English News Weekly will again be visiting four interesting and unique sites

of Milan, a city that is both historic and modern. We will start with perhaps

the heartbeat of the city’s population – the San Siro Stadium home to Milan’s

two football teams. We then move onto Milan’s historic cathedral before

taking a break in a beautiful park on a gorgeous summer day. ENW ends its

trip with a night at perhaps the most famous operatic theatre in the world –

La Scala.
