It is the second-most populous city in Italy after Rome, with a population of 1,362,863 in 2026.[8][9] The city's wider metropolitan area is the largest in Italy, and the fourth-largest in the European Union, with an estimated population of 6.55 million.[4] Milan is considered Italy's economic capital,[10] and its metropolitan area accounts for about 20% of the country's GDP.[11] Founded around 590 BC[12] by a Celtic tribe, Milan was conquered by the Romans in 222 BC, who Latinized the name of the city into Mediolanum.[12][13] From 284 to 402 AD, it served as capital of the western part of the Roman Empire.[14] In the Late Medieval period, the wealthy Duchy of Milan was one of the greatest forces behind the Renaissance.[15][16] As a major center of the Italian Enlightenment during the Early modern period, Milan's cultural and political struggle against Austrian domination was crucial in the reunification of the Kingdom of Italy.
