Important example of the Mussolinian neoclassicism housing the main station of Milan.
This important example of Mussolini neoclassicism houses Milan's main railway station, Italy's second-largest after Termini in Rome. It was built between 1926 and 1931 and restored between 2005 and 2010. The grandiose mass of the central station (207 m façade) was solemnly inaugurated on May 15, 1931. A triumph of Mussolinian neoclassicism, its style is curious to say the least, and the building imposing. Somewhere between late Liberty and Italian Art Deco, its walls are adorned with reliefs and statues embodying the symbolism of the regime.

Belle gare
La gare centrale de Milan est un beau monument, quelques belles peintures et sculptures. Le prix des voyages en train sont plutôt bons marché. Mais attention aux cafés qui explosent les prix!

Un must pour les amateurs de train
La gare centrale de Milan (Milano Centrale), à 3 minutes de notre auberge, est un monument en soi. Achevé pour être construit en 1931 par Stracchini sur la base de la Union Station à Washington (États-Unis), Musolini voulait en faire un symbole de sa mégalomanie, lui donnant plus de complexité et de majesté. Il présentait de grands dômes en acier, 24 plates-formes, un dôme de 72 mètres et une façade de 200 m. Sans aucun doute, un espace idéal pour les amateurs de train. Un avertissement: Méfiez-vous des cacos, même si nous sommes entourés de policiers lors de la visite.

Giant building that hosts the main Rail station of Milan and also a lot of immigrants. It has got shop and restaurants inside but the main show is The Glass and Iron top of the tracks that reminds a lot of impressionists paintings
