Most (not all, i realised today after more walking around) streets in Milan are named after people.

I live on Via Botticelli now, he lies between Luigi Mangiagalli (doctor, former mayor) and Moretto da Brescia (another painter, real name Alessandro Bonvicino) and is crossed by, among others, Guido Reni (yes another painter..).
