Neighborhood: Centro Storico
The pulsating core of Milan is in Centro. Duomo Square is enclosed by the gothic cathedral, the historic icon of Milan. However, shopping is what draws most crowds to this area. The classy and versatile Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II with luxury boutiques and high quality restaurants will turn any shopping or lunch expedition into a royal experience. Head to the rooftop of the flagship La Rinascente to enjoy the view of the animated square with a panorama of the Duomo. The Corso Vittorio Emanuele II is the street for high-end shopping. Brands of all kinds and street artists attract the attention of all visitors; while at Via Santa Radegonda 16, Luini Panzerotti is a much appreciated street food shop providing unimaginable culinary experiences. If shopping takes its toll on you, consider visiting Castello Sforzesco, a 15th century castle housing several museums. Those looking to relax can go to Parco Sempione, where nature provides respite from the energy of this dynamic and international city.

This monument stands in tribute to Giuseppe Parini, a 19th century Neoclassical poet during the Italian Enlightenment. I can’t say I know much about Italian poetry, but he must have been good as he occupied several prominent positions Literary academies in Milan and Rome.
The monument is a bronze sculpture of Parini dressed as a 19th century gentleman, but much of his clothing is hidden underneath a toga that he is wearing around the shoulder and waist, and held up with his right arm.
The sculpture is okay. It’s located in a prominent location on Piazza Cordusio, close to the Duomo di Milano.

In Piazza Cordusio you will find the statue of poet and satirist Giuseppe Parini.
I doubt many people who live in Milan know who he is. Given the area was a traditional financial centre, a statue of a satirist would not be the first thing to spring to my mind.

When I headed to the old Post building in Piazza Cordusio, I noticed a rather Impressive statue. Out of curiosity, I went closer to have a proper look, but sadly I have to confess, that the name, Giuseppe Parini, didn't ring the bell to me. Probably if I would be Italian I would know about him, but I was born in Hungary, and I think, not too many Italian would know about for example Tompa Mihály. Now I already learned that he was a writer and a poet, and most probably famous in his homeland. With its central position, the statue attracts the attention and fills up the quite big empty piazza. It isn't a must.

You will likely walk past this statue if you are heading to The Duomo. It's not an area that people congregate, though, it is surrounded by high-end shopping. Compared to the Vittorio Emanuele II monument, this is almost boring unless you enjoy poetry and know who Giuseppe Parini was - I don't.

This statue stands in Piazza Cordusio, a short distance from the Duomo Milano. It is a rather large monument. The bronze figure rests atop a marble plinth, with two curved stone railings to both side and a wrought iron fence completing the ellipse. It was inaugurated in 1899 on the centenary of his death.

It is located at the Cordusio square, near to the Duomo square. There is an underground station next this monument.

This very nice and fitting tribute to Italian XVIII c. poet is quite detailed and lovely, but somewhat overshadowed by all the noise and hustle of a busy city.

The work of Luca Beltrami (who constructed the base) and Luigi Secchi, at the Cordusio square is dedicated to the 18th century poet and satirist, very popular during the Age of Enlightenment intellectual movement.

The statue of Giuseppe Parini, the eighteenth century poet is one of many statues all over Milan. It is not something you'd go out of your way to see but it's location, being as central as it is means passers by look and out of curiosity check who's statue it is.... That's exactly what I did.
Decent looking statue.
