Stations in Milan as Symbolic Elements of Modernity: Between Landscapes and Migrations

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Milan's railway stations are not just transit points for travellers; they are significant cultural landmarks and symbols of the city's evolution and identity. This case study aims to explore the multifaceted roles of Milan's major railway stations—Milano Centrale, Porta Garibaldi, and Cadorna—as emblematic of modernity, embodying the complex interplay of architectural innovation, technological progress, and social dynamics. These stations are central to understanding Milan's urban landscape, illustrating how infrastructure shapes and is shaped by cultural, economic, and social forces (Soja, 2000). Through a comprehensive analysis, this study will delve into these stations' architectural, social, and cultural dimensions, assessing their historical development, current status, and future potential.
