The main railway station
The wide avenue Viale Vittor Pisani, from Piazza della Repubblica, brings you to the monumental Central Station of Milan, built between 1912, the date of the tender competition, and 1931, when it was opened. The façade of the station, in Aurisina stone, has a Pharaonic scale that is inevitably compared to Germanic culture. In the gallery at the entrance, medallions by Giannino Castiglioni depict Work, Commerce, Science and Agriculture, while the first-floor gallery is embellished by panels in ceramic with views of Milan, Turin, Florence and Rome by Basilio and Cascella. Inside the station there is the waxworks museum.
