Railway stations in Milan

Three more stations are currently in the planning stage for the city area: Canottieri, Dergano and Zama.

In the late 1830s, Emperor Ferdinand I of Austria granted "the privilege to build a road on iron rails from Milan to Monza" to the Holzhammer company of Bolzano.

The privilege authorized the construction of a railway project developed by the Milanese engineer Giulio Sarti.

It was placed outside the circle of ramparts, near the Porta Nuova city gate, from which it took its name.

In February 1846 came the second Milanese railway station, Porta Tosa-Vittoria, near the city gate of the same name, and outside the circle of ramparts.
