"Do you want to play Paparazzi for Flamingos? Well, Villa Invernizzi in Milan offers you an opportunity to do so. When touring Milan on board of a 1971 vintage Fiat, we had the chance to stop by and see, and by see, I mean creep on the beautiful flamingos residing in Villa Invernizzi. Please be advised that this is not a touristic site. it's just a blessing from an extravagant couple from the seventies. It was a sweet surprise for me."

"You can only look at the flamingoes from a distance behind a gate and some bushes. We even walked around, however, someone working at the building told us it was a private area."

"This is a private villa, so obviously you can't enter. Indeed, there are flamingos, you can see them from a distance through the gate. Not very tempting as a tourist attraction, worth seeing only if you stay in Milan for a longer period."
