Productions whose English Wikipedia article names Milan as somewhere it was shot, with no matching statement on Wikidata. Weaker evidence than the statements above, so it gets its own list — each production’s own page links the exact section the claim comes from.

Set here

Anime that take place here. Nothing drawn was ever filmed here, so this is where the story is set rather than where a camera stood — a different claim from everything above, and kept under its own heading for that reason. The rows marked per its source work are placed by the book they adapt rather than by a statement of their own.

Set here, per Wikipedia

Games whose English Wikipedia article says they are set in Milan, where Wikidata’s narrative-location statement stops at the country. Still a setting and not a shoot, and still a sentence rather than a statement — two steps from the strongest evidence on this atlas, and labelled at both.
