Milan in October
October is full autumn: mild days, the first fog, low golden light. It is a quiet, pleasant month, with no big events pushing prices up.
What's on
It is exhibition and theatre season. Pumpkin, chestnuts, persimmons, pomegranate and mushrooms reach the greengrocer stalls: the richest time of year for vegetables.
Good to know
Bring an umbrella: rainy days become frequent. The markets run regardless, and food stalls almost always have cover.
