The population of the city itself is approximately 1.4 million [6] and its metropolitan area has 3.26 millions.

[8] The population of the greater Milan metropolitan area, also known as Greater Milan, is between 8.2 and 12.5 millions according to national sources. This makes it the largest metropolitan area in Italy. It is also one of the largest within the EU. [9][10]
