Autumn in Milan is an extraordinary season in which the city is transformed into a living painting of warm and welcoming colours. Urban foliage, a term that celebrates the beauty of the Autumn transformation of trees and green spaces in urban settings, plays a leading role in this change. This phenomenon unites nature with the metropolitan environment in a fascinating combination. Even some wonderful buildings enveloped in greenery are subject to this transformation, such as the one in Via Lamberto de Bernardi (corner with Viale Majno) or Villa Mozart on its eponymous street, the Bosco Verticale designed by Boeri Studio, and many others.
In this article, we explore the magnificent world of urban foliage in Milan discovering the parks and green areas that capture the beauty of this season in an extraordinary way. Let yourself be transported by the magic of a unique Milanese Autumn, where the city harmoniously merges with nature to create an unforgettable spectacle of colors.
