Italian
意大利人 is the Chinese word for Italian (as in an Italian person).
Milan
米蘭 is the transliteration to Mandarin Chinese for the Latin name Milan.
This also happens to be the Chinese name for the city Milan or Milano in Italy.
米蘭 are only used for their phonetic properties but this would mean "rice orchid". But any Chinese person will know that you are talking about either the Italian city or a person named Milan (and will not take the literal meaning).
Though technically, you are supposed to use Katakana instead of Kanji, this also sounds like Milan in Japanese. The pronunciation was borrowed from Chinese when Japan borrowed Chinese characters in the 5th century.
Milan
ミラン is the Japanese Katakana (phonetic Japanese) for the name and city, Milan.
Note: Because this title is entirely Japanese Katakana, it should be written by a Japanese calligrapher.
Milano / Milan
Italian City米蘭 is the Chinese name for Milano or Milan, the city in Italy.
