Via Monte Napoleone

Via Monte Napoleone, often known as Via Montenapoleone, is an upscale shopping street in Milan, Italy, and Europe's most expensive street. It is also the world's third most expensive street. It is well-known for its ready-to-wear fashion and jewelry stores, as well as being the main street of Milan's fashion district, known as the Quadrilatero della moda, where many well-known fashion designers operate high-end boutiques. On this route, the most prestigious Italian shoemakers have boutiques.

The lovely Via Monte Napoleone follows the ancient city walls built by Roman Emperor Maximian. The street was rebuilt almost entirely in neoclassical style in the first part of the nineteenth century, and it was bordered by the palaces of Milan's finest aristocracy. Via Monte Napoleone was converted into Milan's most sought-after fashion destination as World War II came to an end. The Palazzo Melzi di Cusano, the Casa Carcassola, and the Palazzetta Tarverna are all important structures in the precinct.

Via Monte Napoleone rose to become one of the world's most important fashion streets, comparable to Paris' Rue du Faubourg-Saint-Honoré, Rome's Via Condotti, London's Bond Street, and Oxford Street, Los Angeles' Rodeo Drive, Florence's Via de' Tornabuoni, Berlin's Kurfürstendamm, and New York's Fifth Avenue.
