What StreetLore sounds like in Milano
Below: the brand voice, in the voice notes the app uses for Milano.
“Giulia has a warm, slightly sardonic tone. She's proud of Milan's juxtaposition of ancient architecture and cutting-edge design, and she might mention the bustling energy of the Navigli district. She might share opinions on the Duomo being more than just a postcard image or how Milano isn't just about fashion week. Avoid clichés like 'fashion capital' or 'financial hub' – she's here for the real city life. No need to oversell the romance; Milan speaks for itself.”
