Another very important stop of green Milan underground is the Cadorna FN stop. Arrived at this stop, you can admire the famous opera Needle, thread and knot, a sculpture that involves the entire square, designed by the artist Claes Oldenburg. The basic idea of sculpture is that of a train that enters an underground tunnel. The fact that the sculpture is divided into two parts ideally reunited underground, is a reference to the Milan subway, the means of rapid movement of the city: the thread has the same colors of the lines of the meter at the time of construction, in 2000. The masterpiece is a tribute to Milan’s industriousness and fashion, which has one of the world’s leading centers in Milan.

A few steps from this square, visit the Milan Sforza Castle.
