     Cadorna Station - The Needle and Thread square and monument
    The station originated in the last quarter of the XIX century to link-up the train rails to the pre-alpine hinterland, utilizing a design by the Belge Albert Vaucamps. It was completely renovated in 1956; the building underwent a global restyling (Gae Aulenti) to which we owe the new façade, the coluorful metalic bus shelter, and the sculpture Needle-and-Thread by Claes Oldenbur and Coosje van Bruggen.

     Milano Central Railway Station
    The Central Railway Station of Milan is one of Europe's main railway stations, Italy’s second largest station in terms of size and traffic volume, with around 600 trains per day, two metro lines, the nearby Railway Link, the terminus of a number of urban bus and tram lines and shuttle buses to the airports. The terminal was officially inaugurated in 1931 to replace the old Stazione Centrale (1864), which was a transit station and which could not cope with the new traffic caused by the opening of the Sempione Tunnel (1906).
