Have to say: we have a lot more of Roman Mediolanum to catch - but a few bits from our trip including the tower of the Ticinese Gate
Hidden in the modern buildings, you have to duck between a restaurant and hotel to see this

The location might tempt you into waxing poetic, or even reading a few lines of ozymandias 📜
