Pretty soon the sun, an orange gob, slid down the cobalt sky, and the field lights came on. Slab-sided referees took their positions.

Milan already has a healthy surfeit of cachet, so the opening of the Park Hyatt, just steps away from the Piazza del Duomo, will probably raise few eyebrows among the well-heeled residents of Italy's fashion capital.
