Hi Gul!!
The places you mean are the factory outlets (we call them only outlet) and in Milan area (or near at least) there are a lot of them, I know very well some of them 'cause sometimes me and my friends go there for shopping
Well, in Milano city there are no big outlets, the best of them are in the hinterland, about 50/60km far from there (I live in Milan), and you can reach them by car.
The first and the biggest one I know is the
Serravalle Outlet, the website says that the most important brands are: Asics, Rifle, Slam, Beauty Ventures, Benetton, Petit Bateau, Miroglio, Villeroy & Boch, Calzedonia, Frette, Marina Yachting, Henry Cotton's, Mandarina Duck, Pal Zileri, Samsonite, Cotton Belt, Calvin Klein, Guess, Sergio Tacchini, Levi's Strauss, Dockers, Diesel, Hammer, Stefanel, ****, Binda, Pinko, Rebecchi, Invicta, Diadora, Cacharel, Valextra, Saldarini, Genny, Trussardi, Versace, Dolce & Gabbana etc....
And then there is the
Fidenza Village, you can find the website (it have the enghisl language too) in google clicking Fidenza Village, the first result.
You found high prices in the outlets in Flocence or Switzerland because "they are rich" and their prices are high for everything you will buy eheheh..
Let me know!!
Bye
