Markets such as that of Piazzale Ferrara are engaged in a constant dialogue with old Milanese traditions. There are also typical trattorias serving local cuisine.

This is te right place for you if you appreciate multiethnicity, Milanese traditions, and community spirit to participate in social projects that can contribute to shape the city of the future.
What not to expect
This area is not suitable for those who love international style homes and have no interest in the charity sector nor in cultural and leisure initiatives.
Real Estate market
The area is mainly residential and offers postwar period council housing, but also rural buildings, banister houses, detached houses and apartment buildings dating from the ‘30s. Often, streets don’t have a homogeneous system because old settlements have been incorporated into the city and coexist in conflict with the recent residential towers.
