Home to two of the largest football clubs in Europe, the San Siro stadium plays host to Inter Milan and AC Milan on opposing weekends throughout the football season, and derby matches between the two sides are fiercely contested affairs that are sure to see passions running high, and at least half of the city in tears for a few days after.
La Monza racing circuit lies to the North of the city, and is home to the Formula One Italian Grand Prix, which is a highlight of the calendar for the hundreds of thousands of Tifosi who fill the stands hoping to catch a glimpse of their Ferrari team idols as they scream past along the main straight at over 200mph.
