477831
Milan's name has for many centuries been recorded as Mailand, which is still the German name of the city today. It comes from the Celtic Mid-lan (meaning "in the middle of the plain") and was known as Mediolanum by the Romans. In the local dialect, the city's name is Milán.\n\nIt is presumed Milan was originally founded by the Celts of Northern Italy around 600 BC and was conquered around 222 BC by the Romans, who gave it the name of Mediolanum. In the 4th century AD, at the time of the bishop Saint Ambrose and emperor Theodosius I, the city was briefly the capital of the Western Roman Empire. At that time Milan was the second largest city in Europe, with more than 300,000 inhabitants. St Ambrose is now the Patron Saint of the city.

Parisians first took the metro on 19 July, 1900, 37 years after Londoners first took the tube (1863), 32 years after New Yorkers had begun riding on the elevated railway (1868). \n\n(Since then other capitals and major cities have followed suit: Berlin (1902), Madrid (1919), Tokyo (1927), Moscow !1935), Rome (1955), Lisbon (1959).  And obviously other cities have their own underground systems.)\n\nThe first Paris line was on the Right Bank, from the Porte de Vincennes to the Porte Maillot; the engineer responsible was Fulgence Bienvenue and the architect for what became the standard metro entrance, that master of the "noodle" style, Guimard.\n\nThere is an informative (though rather dry!) article in Wikipedia, of course:\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris_metro\n\nIf you know the secret, it's very easy to use: on the maps, look for the end station on the line you are using, and follow the directions.  It's easier than the London Tube, where you have East, West, etc.  And some of the Metro entrances have lovely ironwork in, say, the art nouveau style.
