Milan’s ghostly secrets ignite the Halloween spirit

Skulls, silence, and whispers of the past. In Milan, where Halloween meets history, the walls of San Bernardino alle Ossa lined with skulls recall the city’s medieval past.

Nearby, the Biblioteca Ambrosiana shelters Renaissance treasures, and a legend that Lucrezia Borgia’s ghost still haunts its halls.

Between whispers of rosewater and rustling skirts, the night grows darker, while locals bring Halloween spirit to the city’s streets with lights, costumes and laughter.
