Milan, Italy (May 14, 2010) The BYU women’s basketball team experienced its first full day on its European Tour, learning about the Italian culture with a tour of Milan.

The team’s first stop was at the Duomo, the second largest church in the world. The late-Gothic structure is adorned with 135 marble spires and 2,245 marble statues.

Also on the schedule for the day was a tour of Sforzesco Castle, one of the beloved monuments in the city of Milan. Since the 20th century the castle has become a place of culture hosting numerous Lombard art collections.

The team finished the day with a group dinner featuring a variety of pastas and pizzas, and gelato.

On Saturday the team heads to Switzerland for their first game against a team from Bellinzona, Switzerland.
