Twinned with Milan
23 of 35 in this atlas
Milan's twinning ties span every inhabited continent, from Dakar and Amman to Daegu, Medan, and Osaka, alongside Chicago, Toronto, Montréal, and several South American capitals. European links include Birmingham, Dublin, Sofia, Vilnius, and Saint Petersburg. Nearly all pairings are mutual; only Melbourne names Milan without reciprocation, making the overall pattern one of broad, largely two-way recognition rather than isolated or asymmetric gestures.

1 of these do not list Milan back. Twinning is declared independently by each municipality, so one-sided pairs are common — and usually more interesting than the mutual ones.
