Global InformationSciura information
A Sciura is an elderly lady from the city center of Milan, who is essentially rich, elegantly dressed and often easily recognizable by her careless attitude.[1]
Language-wise, ‘Sciura’ (pronounced /ˈʃuːra/) is the feminine form of ‘Sciur’, which is the Lombard word for ‘Mister’.[2] Although the word in itself can be literally translated as ‘lady’ or ‘Mrs.’, the actual semantic of the term has evolved to a much broader meaning within the context of the city and its hinterland, especially when used as a common noun and not as an honorific.
