Milano photo photo copyrighted by: Sam's Exotic Travel Photos Milan's economic success was founded at the end of the 19th century, when the
metal factories and the rubber industries moved in, replacing agriculture and
mercantile trading as the city's main sources of income. Milan's position at the heart of a network of canals, which provided the irrigation for the Lombard plains and the important trade links between the north and south, became less important as industry took over - and the waterways were filled. A few canals remain in the Navigli district near the Bocconi University, a fashionable area in which to drink
and listen to live music.
