Historically a manufacturing town, Milan has transformed itself in recent years into a global city defined by the three Fs: finance, fashion, and furniture. Porta Nuova, now a giant construction looming over the high street Corso Como, will reflect the new Milan.
The 71-acre, mixed-used project is rising around the Garibaldi train station, at the foot of Milan’s arts district, Brera.
