area: Niguarda
Niguarda is probably the most Milanese neighborhood in Milan.
It is dominated by the enormous white marble hospital, one of the best in Italy, inaugurated in 1939.
It freed itself one day earlier from the Nazi-Fascism that still plagued the rest of the city, and the partisan memory is imprinted in the large red mural at the entrance of the neighborhood.
Located to the north of the city, it is practically a separate village, inhabited by middle-class families, densely populated with associative and cooperative structures, shops, bars, wine bars, and take-out food places.
Heading towards Bicocca, Prato Centenario is an interesting and unknown popular neighborhood to the east of Fulvio Testi, with one of the largest and most multicultural open-air markets in Milan (via Val Maira, every Thursday) and a covered municipal market from the 1950s (on via Moncalieri).
At the beginning of via Val Maira, the neighborhood maintains a historic core of beautiful late 19th-century houses with bars and tables.
