Via Paolo Sarpi is the main street in one of the most lively working class districts in Milan. Here, between the two world wars, a large number of Chinese settled - at first selling silk ties made around Como and later leather manufacturing concentrated in Via Canonica and Via Rosmini.
The flow of shoppers and window shoppers is incessant - especially on Saturdays, when Via Paolo Sarpi really comes alive with its crowds. The shops in this area are by tradition quite reasonable in price, but of good quality.
How to get there?
From the Moscova Metro station, walk a few steps down Via Volta and you reach Piazzale Baiamonti, where Via Paolo Sarpi starts.
Tram 3, 4, 12, 14, 29, 30, 33.
