Although it is used like an adjective, 'mailänder' is always written with a capital letter. This rule applies to all adjectives ending in '-er' that are derived from geographical names.
Die Mailänder Scala ist ein berühmtes Opernhaus.
La Scala in Milan is a famous opera house.
This adjective is formed by adding the ending '-er' to the city name 'Mailand' (Milan). This pattern is very productive in German, for example: 'Berliner Mauer' (Berlin Wall), 'Hamburger Hafen' (Hamburg harbor), or 'Wiener Schnitzel' (Viennese schnitzel).
Ich esse gerne ein echtes Wiener Schnitzel.
