Five Days of Milan
Monument
Sophisticated Milan
Series 12
On our way to Europark, we stumbled
upon the Five Days of Milan Monument-
...or what the
locals call
“Cinque giornate
di Milano”.
This monument commemorates the street
fighting during an anti- Austrian campaign.
…that drove the Austrian soldiers from Milan after
being confined in the barracks for five days to avoid
being mugged and pelted with stones by the angry crowd.
The “Cinque
giornate di Milano” is considered
a major event in the Revolutionary Year of 1848.
