North Milan is a district of the city of Milan. While the
historic center of Milan is the indisputable heart of the city, it
is the north that is the hub of its activities. Two major railway
stations are located here (the imposing Milano Centrale and the busy
Porta Garibaldi), as well as the ever-growing array of office towers
that make up Milan's modern skyline, housing the headquarters of
companies that make Milan the economic capital of Italy.
Although much less tourist oriented than the Centre, it is a part of
the city where most tourists arrive by train or bus as the main
transport hubs of the city are here. Being already there, the area
is worth exploring, as it actually has a lot to offer.
Milano Nord includes two of the most important railway stations in
Milan:
1 Central Milan. The massive, and undeniably impressive
Central Station building comprises a terminus station with no fewer than
24 platforms. Construction of the station was a long process of changing
plans and ever-increasing ambitions of Italian leaders from King Victor
Emmanuel to Benito Mussolini, but the result, finally achieved in 1931,
has become one of Milan's landmarks and definitely a sight to behold. .
Milano Centrale serves mostly long-distance trains, including most of
the international trains arriving in Milan, such as those to
Switzerland, Austria, Germany and the Thello night train to Paris. It is
also an important station in the Italian high-speed train network
(although it only uses Trenitalia trains, while Italians only use Porta
Garibaldi), which allows connections to Turin, Bologna, Florence, Rome
and Naples. Domestic non-high-speed connections are provided from Milan
Central Station to most other cities in Italy, including Bergamo, Genoa,
Padua, Verona and Venice. Milano Centrale is also one of the stations
served by the Malpensa Express trains which connect the city with
Malpensa international airport.

the dome there is the skyline of Milan from the 1930s, therefore there
are no recent buildings such as the Pirelli skyscraper (headquarters of
the Lombardy region).

Bergen Belsen, Fossoli and Bolzano. In addition to the vehicles
stationary on track 21, the Wall of Names is significant, where the
names of all the deportees are projected, the few with a different color
being those who have returned.

10
Capuchin Cultural Heritage Museum, via Antonio Kramer, 5.
11 Society
for the Fine Arts and Permanent Exhibition (La Permanente), via Filippo
Turati, 34. The Permanente archive is very important, still full of
documents, despite the serious damage caused by the bombings of the
Second World War. Equally rich is the publishing and cataloging activity
gradually published over time by the Permanente in relation to its
exhibition initiatives. Absolute protagonists of cultural and artistic
history have been part of the association. Suffice it to recall,
gradually over time, F. Hayez, G. Pellizza da Volpedo, F.T. Marinetti,
U. Boccioni, C. Carrà.
12 Piazza Duca d'Aosta (Get off at the nearest central metro station,
(Caiazzo and Zara are also relatively close)). A large, relatively
modern and busy square in the north-east of Milan, famous for housing
the city's majestic central station, and the Pirelli skyscraper. The
Piazza is generally full of people, and is located in the heart of
Milan's business and commercial district. It's where you'll end up if
you need to go to Central Station, but it's also a good place to go,
boasting some excellent examples of post-WWII modern architecture, such
as the Pirelli skyscraper, and a few posh hotels, such as the Hotel
Excelsior Gallia.
13 Piazza della Repubblica (Get off at Repubblica
metro station, in the middle of the square. Nearby stations include
Porta Venezia, Turati and Centrale which are all an average walk away.).
A modern and very busy square in the northwest of Milan. It contains
some of the most important office blocks and corporate buildings in the
country, and boasts some good examples of Italian architecture from the
1950s and 60s. The square itself is very important for transport, and
contains some large hotels. It is also close to Piazza Duca d'Aosta and
the central station.
14 Corso di Porta Venezia (Stazione Palestro is
the closest, but San Babila and Porta Venezia are within walking
distance). Considered one of the finest and finest streets in the city.
Right next to the glitzy Montenapoleone area, it is flanked by a series
of splendid villas, museums and palaces, from all eras. It also contains
part of the Indro Montanelli public gardens, an ancient and luxuriant
park. Besides being an aristocratic-looking place, today, several
elegant boutiques have opened their doors, so it's great for both
sightseeing and designer shopping.
15 Corso Buenos Aires (Since Corso
Buenos Aires is so long, it can be reached from Porta Venezia and Loreto
stations at either end, and Lima mostly in the middle). One of the
longest shopping streets in Italy and in Europe. It is a large avenue,
which in its initial part is quite old, but as you continue, the
buildings gradually become more recent. Today it contains an
incalculable amount of shops, such as Swarovsky, H&M, House of Cashmere,
Calzedonia, Outlet, Benetton, Adidas, Nike, Calvin Klein, Zara, Luisa
Spagnoli, and many others.
16 Corso Como, Corso Como (M2 Line (Milan
Metro) M5 Line (Milan Metro) Garibaldi FS - Milan suburban railway
service Porta Garibaldi station - Urban tram line 33). Pedestrian and
commercial street in the center of Milan, it is about 280 m long.
The historic gates of the city are located in this area of Milan.
17 Ancient Porta Nuova. A rather small city gate that can be crossed
on foot if coming from the central station of the Duomo.
18 Porta
Nuova. The Napoleonic Porta Nuova is located near the modern business
district and is simpler in construction than the other city gates.
19
Porta Venezia (Porta Orientale or Porta Renza). Known by its current
name since 1862, this gate has origins that can be traced back to the
times of the Roman Empire. The current, rather massive gate structure
consists of two buildings and was completed in 1828.
20 Porta
Garibaldi. Another 19th century gate, which gave its name not only to
the neighborhood around it, but also to the nearby railway station
21 Public Gardens (Reachable from the Porta Venezia, Turati or Palestro metro stations). An old 18th century park in the Montenapoleone and Porta Venezia district, designed in a romantic English-style garden. Inside, you can find rock constructions, water games, fountains, statues and monuments, and other interesting details. You will also see a planetarium, a natural history museum, and across the Palestro road, you can also find an opulent royal villa which now houses a contemporary art collection within large ornate rooms. The gardens are in an excellent location, as they are very close to the Duomo and Brera districts, and very close to the Montenapoleone street and around the glamorous shopping area.
22 Church of Santa Maria Incoronata, corso Giuseppe Garibaldi, 116.
This church is a particular case of a "double church", similar to that
of S. Cristoforo al Naviglio (also in Milan): looking from the
churchyard, the church on the left it is the oldest, because it already
existed in the municipal age. Next to the church, at the beginning of
the fifteenth century, a convent was built for the Augustinian fathers,
who restored the ancient church in the late Gothic style, typical of
that century. In 1460 the wife of the Duke of Milan Francesco Sforza,
Bianca Maria Visconti, lady of Cremona, wanted a second one to be built
next to her consort's church, completely identical and connected to it
so as to form a single new church: with this work Bianca Maria wanted to
publicly seal her fidelity to her husband.
23 Church of Santa Maria
Alla Fontana, piazza Santa Maria alla Fontana, 8. The project of the
church was for a long time attributed to Leonardo da Vinci or to
Bramante due to the presence of architectural elements inspired by
classical monuments, but in 1982 the archivist Grazioso Sironi found of
the documents which certified that the church was designed by Giovanni
Antonio Amadeo. In ancient times, the water produced by an underground
source at the base of the sanctuary was considered thaumaturgical and
indicated in particular for treating disorders of the osteo-articular
apparatus such as arthrosis and arthritis, so much so that Charles II
d'Amboise, governor of Milan decided to build the Marian sanctuary after
being healed by the miraculous waters. In the 19th century, due to the
fire of an adjacent bitumen factory, the original aquifer was polluted
and the source was closed; from the 11 nozzles at the church today
ordinary tap water comes out from the water system of the city aqueduct.
24 Basilica of Santa Maria Della Passione, via Conservatorio, 12-14. The
basilica is characterized by the tribune, culminating in the dome
covered by an octagonal drum, attributed to Giovanni Battagio from Lodi.
Outside, the drum is covered by semi-columns on two orders, Tuscan and
Ionic, alternating with niches and windows, with terracotta decorations.
As in the basilica of Santa Maria delle Grazie, the tribune of the
Passion initially had a funerary purpose, the mausoleum of the brothers
Daniele and Francesco Birago was originally located in the center, today
transferred to a side chapel.
25 Church of San Marco, piazza San
Marco, 2 (north Milan). The facade is the result of a restoration in
1871 by Carlo Maciachini who maintained the round arched portal in
marble with architrave, a gallery of Gothic arches, the portal and the
three statues above, trying to restore the original Gothic
characteristics of the facade, eliminating the additions and subsequent
changes. The current facade is in the neo-Gothic style, with a salient
structure and red brick walls, with the pilasters covered in the lower
part with blocks of marble.
26 Unicredit Tower. The tallest building in Italy by virtue of its
84-metre spire atop its 146-metre office floor, completed in 2011 to
serve as the headquarters of the Unicredit bank.
27 Lombardy Palace.
The government of the Lombardy region spared little to move into what,
when completed in 2010, became the tallest building in Italy, ceding
this title to the Unicredit Tower the following year, although the
building itself, having one more floor, is higher (160 meters).
28
Solaria Tower. The tallest residential building in Italy. The
unmistakable facade of the Jenga-style tower, achieved by alternating
balconies to offer a better view and privacy.
29 Diamond Tower.
30
Pirelli skyscraper. Completed in 1956, the Pirelli skyscraper has become
a turning point in the history of world architecture, even if its
appearance may seem pale compared to the new buildings of the postmodern
era. But it is also a symbol of the rebound of Milan and the Italian
economy after the Second World War. Originally built by the Pirelli
company, known for the production of tyres, the skyscraper was the seat
of the government of the Lombardy Region until it moved to the Palazzo
Lombardia.
31 Breda Tower.
32 Bosco Verticale, Torre De Castillia:
via De Castillia, Torre Confalonieri: via Confalonieri (M2 M5 Garibaldi
FS station and M5 Isola station). The twin residential tower's name
should be interpreted literally, as it derives from the complex facades
of the buildings containing actual trees at various levels, which serve
a variety of beneficial purposes for the residents. The total amount of
vegetation growing on the facades is equivalent to one hectare of real
forest.
33 Galfa Tower. A prime example of the International Style,
under restoration due for completion in 2014.
34 Villa Necchi Campiglio (Palazzo FAI - Fondo Ambiente Italiano),
Via Mozart 14 (M1 Palestro station), ☏ +39 02 76340121,
fainecchi@fondoambiente.it. Villa + gardens: 9€, free gardens only.
Wed-Sun 10am-6pm. The building was built in 1920 and has a beautiful
garden.
35 Villa Reale (also known as Villa Comunale, Villa
Belgioioso or Villa Belgiojoso Bonaparte), Via Palestro, 16. It was
built between 1790 and 1796 by the architect Leopoldo Pollack,
commissioned by Count Ludovico Barbiano di Belgiojoso. The rear of the
building, where there is the entrance to the Modern Art Gallery of
Milan, faces via Palestro, thus overlooking the Indro Montanelli gardens
in the Porta Venezia area. The facade of the villa instead faces the
English-style garden also designed by Leopoldo Pollack.
36 Ca'
Brutta, via della Moscova, 12 (M3 Turati station). Designed by Giovanni
Muzio, the residential building owes its name to the bad impression that
the extravagant use of classical elements in the building's facade
aroused in the Milanese people of the 1920s and 1930s. Clear influences
of modernism can be seen in the building and his close link with the
metaphysical painters. The Ca' Brutta is made up of two bodies, divided
by a private road.
37 Casa Galimberti, via Marcello Malpighi, 3 (M1
Piazza Venezia station). Designed by Giovanni Battista Bossi in
1903-1905 on behalf of the Galimberti brothers, it is considered one of
the most brilliant pieces of Milanese Liberty thanks to the covering of
a large part of the external facade with figured ceramic tiles, wrought
iron and floral motifs in cement, all designed from Bossi.
38 Cascina
Boscaiola, via Edoardo Porro, 14. The farmhouse is a historic complex
built mainly in the 15th century as a hunting lodge for the Signoria of
Milan (first the Viscontis and then the Sforzas).
39 Palazzo
Saporiti, corso Venezia, 40. Inspired by Palladina, Palazzo Saporiti is
a neoclassical palace built between 1800 and 1812 designed by Giovanni
Perego and Innocenzo Giusti.
40 Palazzo Serbelloni, corso Venezia,
16. The current building stands on top of a pre-existing
seventeenth-century construction. The current neoclassical facade dates
back to 1793 when Simone Cantoni designed the loggia. The palace,
residence of the Serbelloni family, became a destination for visits and
meetings of the exponents of the Milanese Enlightenment culture, such as
Pietro Verri, Giuseppe Parini and Paolo Frisi. Subsequently, the palace,
due to its sumptuous interiors, hosted Napoleon and his entourage, the
Prince of Metternich and Vittorio Emanuele II together with Napoleon III
41 Palazzo Dugnani, via Daniele Manin, 2. In Rococo style, the building
externally has two distinct fronts, one facing the roadway where the
octagonal belvedere tower is given ample prominence, and the other,
portico, overlooking the park and composed of a central body that
appears set back from the more protruding lateral bodies. On the ceiling
of the Ballroom on the first floor it is possible to admire a grandiose
painting by Tiepolo, where mythological figures sway in a clear sky and
narrate the story of Scipio and Massinissa, implying the celebration of
the Casati family itself
42 Palazzo del Senato, via Senato, 10. The
origin of the building dates back to 1608, when the cardinal of Milan,
Federico Borromeo, wanted to erect the new seat of the Swiss college. In
1786, by order of Joseph II of Habsburg, the Swiss college became the
seat of the Austrian Government building, to then, following the French
invasion, become the seat of the Lower Chamber of the newly formed
Cisalpine Republic in 1797. In 1805, with the birth of the Kingdom of
Italy, with Milan as its capital, the now former Swiss college was used
as a Senate building, to finally be used in 1872, with the unification
of Italy, as a state archive. The palace is built in the Baroque style:
the façade centered in its elliptical solution, due to Francesco Maria
Richini, has an immediate impact. During the Napoleonic era, the Senate
building housed the first letter box in Milan.
