Sight Visit and Visiting the Sights

Today we had a late morning visit to Weir Oil and Gas company. We had a few presentations on the Weir group as a whole as well as the manufacturing of the oil pumps that they do here in Italy. We toured both plants and had lunch in their cafeteria.

After the visit we went out to see more of the sights of Milan. We visited Castello Sforzesco and saw more of downtown Milan. It was quite cold and I was happy I brought my wool coat. Although I feel quite out of place without wearing all black.






We decided to go to Navigli which is supposed to be a place for night life by the canals that were built to transport the stone for the Duomo. But unfortunately there was not much there and the canal was drained due to the off season.

We did find a nice pizzeria and enjoyed another evening of authentic Italian cuisine. Tomorrow we head to another company visit and we will get to see Leonardo Da Vinci’s The Last Supper. I am excited to continue this adventure. Ciao!
