    Tips

    October 7, 2021

    There is a rumor that if you whisper your wish in the ear of the monument, it will come true ... But who exactly is Milo and why is his image immortalized in one of the most central places in the City under the hills? The Plovdiv bohemian Milo Ludia is one of the most famous jokes under the hills. Mihail Dimitrov Todorov is his birth name, but today no one remembers him like that, but rather with his madness and kindness. Urban languages are not unanimous about the reason for the loss of his mind. Some claim that he was too smart and spoke several languages, but went crazy from reading books too much. Perhaps the other version is more reliable, namely that he suffers from meningitis in childhood and this leads to his delayed mental development.
