Liberty Milan Walk, 1906
Milan in 1906 is an industrialising, cosmopolitan city hosting the International Exposition for the Simplon (Sempione) Tunnel, where new electric trams run beneath a skyline of cathedral spires and plant chimneys. This walk moves from the rail approach and city gates through the fair in Parco Sempione, the glass-domed Galleria and the Duomo, Liberty villas on Corso Venezia, the canals of the Navigli and the emerging northern factories.
35 scenes — 23 streets, squares and views, 12 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Milan as it stood in 1906 (“History of Milan”).
