Talk:Brera (district of Milan)

Use of the word "district"
I have read, on a reliable source, that the english word "district" refers to an administrative (hence formal) division of sorts. This word has been used for things such as this one and other, e.g., Bovisa. This seems incorrect as those "quartieri" are not administrative divisions; the smallest administrative division in Milan is the "Zona", which includes several "quartieri". As far as I can tell, despite its etymological meaning, the word "quartiere" is best rendered in english with "neighbourhood". Moongateclimber (talk) 16:07, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
