A history podcast retracing the journeys of my great great grandfather, uncovering the stories, people, and places that shaped his Victorian world. In episode 17, Great Great Grandad William is touring the streets of 1840s Milan, hearing about the origins of the Arena Civica amphitheatre, the dastardly cruel Galeazzo Sforza (The 5th Duke of Milan) and the scandalous but beautiful Countess Guilia Samoyloff, the talk of Milanese high society at the time.
