Montenapoleone M3

What a pity to have to assign ONLY 2 tiny stars to what should have been one of the most successful subway station in what claims to be the center of the fashion capital of the world.
This stop dates back to only 1990 but feels much older than some of the stops on MM1 (which has recently celebrated 50 years of service) and MM2.
Being the closest stop to THE Fashion quarter, one would think the MAISONS (Valentino, Versace, Gucci, Prada… just to name a few) would have sponsored the styling and upkeep of such ans important business card as an efficient and eye pleasing (and NOT the eye sore it actually is) subway station.
One could blame it on the uncivilized citizens that cover the walls with graffiti or vandalize it randomly, but that would only be covering a tiny fraction of what is wrong with the place.
There is no pulsing heart, no passion, no soul.. and no esthetic.
And, to think that this is also the closest subway (along with MM2 stop LANZA) to the Pinacoteca di Brera.
When will we (as italians) learn to value the incredible amount of natural beauty and our history.
If we could only tap into a tiny fraction, we would be able to have some of the best countries in this ever evolving world…
