Sophia Loren's Milan glamour

Day 1: Quadrilatero della Moda

Loren was a friend of the great couturiers. Walk through the Quadrilatero, past the ateliers of Via Montenapoleone and Via della Spiga, where Italian style was shaped. Look, try, dream.

Day 2: Espresso and cinema

The espresso bars of the centre were her stage. Drink a ristretto standing at the bar of a historic caffè, and visit a cinema still showing classic Italian films.

Day 3: La Scala finale

Finish with an evening in the spirit of la dolce vita: a walk past the Teatro alla Scala and a dinner where the pasta is honest and generous. Like Loren herself.
