I won't dispute 'closer to the city'... but 'less likely to be closed by fog' is not at all true! LIN is absolutely famous for fog. In fact, if you look in the Alitalia international timetable, you need to check-in earlier for flights from LIN when it's foggy, but you don't at MXP.</font>
When I used to live in Italy (long time ago, for about two decades), MXP was closed for weather much more often than LIN. Mind you, they're both in the Po Valley, which is famous for its thick fog, so LIN can be affected as well (and so can BLQ, VCE, etc.). I don't know if the weather pattern has changed in the last twenty years, but, for the purpose of the OP's question, fog is irrelevant as he's planning to travel in the summer.
