Location
Milano Greco Pirelli railway station is situated in Via Roberto Cozzi, at the southeastern edge of central Greco.
History
The station was opened on 29 March 1914.[1] At that time, it was located in the then comune of Greco Milanese (annexed to Milan in 1923).
The station has for decades served the nearby Pirelli factories, until their disposal at the end of the twentieth century. The disposel was followed by a strong urban redevelopment leading to the new modern district designed by the architect Vittorio Gregotti. Inside the new district are the new University of Milan Bicocca and the Teatro degli Arcimboldi.
The next major station to the north is Sesto San Giovanni. To the south are Milano Centrale and Milano Lambrate. Since 1966, the station has also been connected to Milano Porta Garibaldi through a newly built tunnel. The tunnel portal is to the south of Mirabello, near Piazza Carbonari (the so-called Passantino).
