Via Dante

Via Dante today is a pedestrian street in central Milan, Italy, connecting Piazzale Cordusio (near the town center and the Cordusio metro station) with Largo Cairoli (to the northwest and housing the Cairoli metro station).

The street is named after the Florentine poet Dante Alighieri, is now known for its chic shops, restaurants, cafés, and bars.

The street is flanked by multistory elegant palazzi (palaces), mainly built in the 18th and 19th centuries.

On via Rovello 2, corner with via Dante is the 15th-century Palazzo Carmagnola, now housing the Piccolo Teatro (literally "small theatre").

In 1996 it was converted to a fully pedestrian area, the Milan Metro can be accessed through stations nearby.
