It's spring

In spring the buds bloom, the grass grows, fresh, green, clear, just like the leaves do, the birds in the sky return to sing on the branches. Nature, which was stripped by the setting of the sun, flourishes again, every living creature benefits from it, man pauses in admiration of this splendor. For me, spring begins with the pink flowers of the fruit trees in the condominium garden facing the private road Via Barnaba Oriani 30/2 which fascinate me as soon as I leave the gate, the petals rain on the pavement with the wind.

È primavera album (in English, It's spring album) was born from the renaming of Primavera nel Quartiere Varesina (in English, Spring in the Quartiere district). I called it that because I had actually only managed to catalog the photographs I took in Via Barnaba Oriani and the surrounding streets. In the new version I'm even further behind but the spring is unique. In the Google Photos Spring album, however, I have uploaded any photo taken in the season.

In the area of my photos, which is not the non-existent neighborhood of the previous title, since there are no public green spaces, spring can be seen in the condominium gardens, in flowerbeds looked after by companies, in the trees along the streets, including some valuable genera of umbellifers. The magnolias are blooming splendidly, dozens of dandelions appear in the meadows and forget-me-nots, thousands of daisies. In Piazzale Santorre di Santarosa, the showy yellow flowers of the forsythia of number 4 announce spring already in the first ten days of March; in the square the black cherry trees with incredible pink flowers have been erased, just as the elderberry and apricot plants have disappeared in Via Oriani. I also enjoy the scents of spring, in April the wisteria from the house in Via Nuvolone 16, in May the dear locust trees from the lawn of the untended farmhouse under the house, in June the jasmine in Via Barnaba Oriani at the corner of Via Luciano, essences cannot be stored in a photo.

Piazzale Santorre di Santarosa (Santorre of Santarosa Square) is a symmetric square in circular shape into four segments dominated in the center by the War Memorial of Musocco, slightly raised with a partition platform dividing it by the tram tracks.
The square belongs to Quartiere Varesina, Zone 8 of Milan, and divides Viale Carlo Espinasse to about 2/3 of its length.

The square has two traffic lights, one on the corner of Viale Espinasse northbound and one corner Via Giovanni Battista De Rossi, and is crossed by the tram tracks along Viale Carlo Espinasse with the passage of trams 19, while the line 12 joins in square from Via Giovanni Battista De Rossi towards the periphery cutting the square and in the opposite direction. In three corners outside of the square three tram stops.

The square is refined by a series of plants cherry (prunus) with beautiful blooming in spring of pink flowers and a fountain of the City, called small widow.

The square has a historical value for the entire area of the north-west of Milan for the presence of War Memorial of Musocco and the old building at 10 already the town hall, however, seems old, decadent, the whole arrangement should be reconsidered, valuing and making known the monument to fallen.

Tram terminus of Piazzale Cacciatori delle Alpi

The tram terminus of Piazzale Cacciatori delle Alpi (Hunters of the Alps Square) is in the square for many years, near the Station of Milano Certosa, located about 200 meters far.
Currently the terminal is not used, it is only for service or in case of problems with the tram movement to Roserio, currently trams 12 and 19. In the recent past has been for many years the terminus of the line 33. Several ATM signs say carefully track in operation indicating that the terminal is in operation.

Trams access to terminus with a small S and then a wide curve that cuts the road of the square, while trams leave it with a curve to a tighter radius entering in Viale Carlo Espinasse. A second track of the dead-end service is next to that one of the stop. Large cement vases each with small tree divide the terminus from the street giving a touch of green to the square.

The terminus appears a little abandoned, with three benches battered and not near the bus stop, a bed is the center of the terminal with an old pole that holds the strings of the tramway and a paved section divides the rails.
Billboards rise above the wall that divides it from the space of ITX Cargo Viale Espinasse 163, a fountain of the city of Milan, called little widow, and a location with public phone are located on the corner with Via Angelo Brunetti more or less where the trams enter in terminus.

Piazzale Cacciatori delle Alpi

Piazzale Cacciatori delle Alpi (Hunters of the Alps Square) is a square in the Quartiere Varesina, zone 8 of Milan, at the end of Viale Carlo Espinasse and towards the bottom of Via Varesina not far from Milan Certosa Station and tram terminus.

The two-way street along the square connects Viale Espinasse to Via Angelo Brunetti with a bend, in the background the tenement house, style of old Milan, Via Varesina 199.
From Via Varesina one-way coming from the center you can take the square in two directions separated by a sidewalk dividing the tram tracks from the road, while from the station of Milano Certosa the entrance circulation is reverse, creating in peak hours some congestion. That stretch of road at the intersection Via Varesina and Piazzale Cacciatori delle Alpi fifty yards, where there were the gardens behind, bearing the street sign Piazzale Cacciatori delle Alpi, dividend apparently Via Varesina.
An entrance to the Viale Certosa Junction and highways in Via Brunetti has caused that a larger number of vehicles crossing the square towards Via Brunetti.

In the square passes the bus 40 from Viale Espinasse towards Via Brunetti and Garegnano with bus stop a few meters after the square and in the opposite direction from Via Varesina to Viale Espinasse and Palizzi Bridge. Remarkable the number of Amsa vehicle direct to and from the waste collection center next to the cemetery Musocco.

In the yellow house in Via Varesina 199, with dozens of satellite dishes but in fact in the square, is the entrance to Bar Trattoria Angela and a tire and car electrician Brothers Bidoli. On the other side of the square in the tenement house at Viale Espinasse 172, the last house on the avenue, a bar with lots of windows and a games room with a covered outdoor area and apparently disreputable, Trattoria Bar Chen.

The trams terminus, for many years in the square, is currently unused.

In the square I often pass to go or return from the station of Milano Certosa.

Hunters of the Alps (in Italian Cacciatori delle Alpi) was the brigade of volunteers under the command of Garibaldi who fought for the liberation of northern Lombardy during the second war of independence against the Austrian army.

War Memorial of Musocco

The War Memorial of Musocco is a monument in the center of Piazzale Santorre di Santarosa, Quartiere Varesina. remembering of Musocco's fallen in WWI.
The monument was erected in 1923 when the town of Musocco was dissolved by royal decree and became part of Milan.
The monument is well visibie along Viale Carlo Espinasse dividing it to about 2/3 of its length.

The monument has a square base which on a second smaller stands a marble structure holding two statues with a crown iron on top. The overall height of the monument is about ten meters, two meters the square base. The monument is contained in a little patch that separates the monument from the tram tracks and the road with metal chains almost at ground lines at the corners with small stakes in cement.

The two statues are Italy, represented in pain and mourning for the death of the soldiers with his head bowed, and History the tragic event and victorious war represented with a book in hand, the first to the east, looking Via Giovanni Battista De Rossi, the second one to the west, Via Bernardino Galliari.
In the space under the statue Italy is written Musocco its glorious fallen, and under the Statue History dates of beginning and end of the Great War for Italy: XXIV-V-MCMXV IV-XI-MCMXVIII.

In the direction of Viale Espinasse are two bas-reliefs, which in religious terms represent the pain and consequences of war.
To the north a bas-relief depicting the mass in open place, which attends a gathering of military, captured when the celebrant elevates the Eucharist and to the south, in a second relief, in an outdoor scene, the light of Christ radiates a soldier sitting on the ground dying and that to Christ addresses and a soldier lying and already dead.
In a metal plate, in the basement under the south relief, it is written U. Prat indicating perhaps the author of the work.

Two plaques with the names of the fallen are arranged in the border under the bas-reliefs: the north with names from Agostoni to Gatti to the south with names from Gerosa to Villa, a total of 167 musocchesi remember.

The monument was restored by the city of Milan in 2008 and currently is in fairly good condition, new research would have revealed that the sculptor of the statues is Emilio Agnati probably the plaque U. Prat is back.

The monument is aesthetically valuable for the two statues and bas-reliefs, less successful it seems the backbone of the monument.
The monument is certainly historic value to the memory of a tragic event of such great importance, the First World War, provides a testimony of a municipality no longer exists and the will of the old administration and the inhabitants so harsh tried do not to forget and remembering alleviate the pain. I think that the monument still remains a symbol for the current inhabitants of the north-west of the city of Milan, although to have done learn it properly and with a new arrangement of the square.

Evening tour to Burger King and return from Via Polidoro da Caravaggio

This is the tour I do about 6 in the evening to take a walk of about twenty minutes.
After opening my outer gate and left the internal street I turn right towards the main street observing passersby who return to their homes, in the winter I look at the street lights, in spring and summer sunlight that is beginning to set. After the new house at 47, the old farmhouse at Via Barnaba Oriani 48, the arcades with Gecom at 59, looms the intersection of Via Luciano crossing on the pedestrian strips with suspicious glances toward the cars coming from the street.
Finally the green flowerbed Danielli hoping to see any coaches to the province of Varese or the legendary Z301 to Bergamo. Stopping a few cars to cross in the evening traffic and within the area of Burger King leaving Via Barnaba Oriani. Through the windows of the fast food I see the Autogrill bar, passing outside the entrance, watching the red sign of Burger King and walking fast through petrol pumps Shell glancing at the gas station attendant, the one who pours gasoline.

But now I'm on the corner of Piazzale ai Laghi with even the street sign, I come home from Viale Certosa, now the bank Carige at 226 and the large and nasty sidewalk with grates and clock hours electricity. After the long industrial building with the windows of abandoned Asystel is time for Bayer's windows and employees in their small office absorbed by computer, perhaps there is any women employees prettier. Passing by outside the entrance of Bayer and through Via Luciano with the modest flowerbed by Bayer, I look at the traffic light and the intersection of Via Tibullo to continue along the big tenement house of Viale Certosa 184-200 and dining, the Lucky Bar, or what it is, the arcades with intercoms and the new restaurants that keep changing.
The walk begins to feel at the red gate on the corner of Via Polidoro da Caravaggio, I see on other side the shop of my friends of Buffetti RTP turning left on the sidewalk and I see the bottleneck. I cross only through the crosswalks taking speed on steps simulating descents, coasting along the wall area not used, remember the house at 15 and the oldest house with kindergarten, before the view opening on Living Polidoro and new gardens for children.

Again an intersection and the house at 33 to continue along the sidewalk for the house at 32 to return to the farm in Via Barnaba Oriani 34 of the Ceschina's Japanese wife and with a double turnaround I'm home again !!
