Moving to Milan?

Our Campus

The ASM campus is located in a residential and sporting complex approximately 6 km south of Milan’s city center. Next to the school is an 18-hole golf course Le Rovedine Golf Club, and a swimming pool and tennis facility which are located directly opposite our campus. We offer an extensive network of bus services from the city center and towns near Milan.

Milan

Milan is Italy’s second-largest city in terms of population and the center of the country’s finance, banking, and design. It is a modern city, yet one full of history with artistic treasures and monuments of great renown. Milan gained further worldwide notoriety as the host of the 2015 World EXPO.

The focal point of the center of the downtown is Piazza del Duomo, the square from which the complex web of streets making up the city begins. The “Galleria” shopping gallery houses fashionable shops and cafes as do the surrounding streets. La Scala Opera House is located nearby.

Milan is surrounded by many quaint towns and villages that can be reached in little over an hour. Beautiful beaches are two hours away in Liguria. Skiing in the Alps is a popular winter activity, and some of the world’s best ski slopes are within two hours of travel time from Milan. The famous Lake District is a short car or train trip north.

Where to Live in/around Milan

We’re often asked where ASM families reside. There are three major hubs that attract ASM families:

Milan City Center: Ideal for those who love urban living, offering proximity to cultural attractions and an extensive public transport network.
Milanotre/Basiglio: Popular among expat families for its spacious residences and recreational areas.
San Donato Milanese: Perfect for those working in Italy’s major oil companies, providing easy access to corporate headquarters.
