Former steelworks
Former industrial sites such as the Falck areas appear as vast rectangles with few streets inside them, the largest open shapes on the print.

The map
Sesto San Giovanni borders Milan to the north-east and joins it so seamlessly that on a map it is hard to see where one ends and the other begins. What sets it apart is scale. For most of the twentieth century, huge factory sites belonging to Falck, Breda, Marelli and others covered much of the town, and their outlines still shape the plan.
The town was once one of Italy's largest industrial centres, and its strong labour movement earned it the nickname the Stalingrad of Italy. After the steelworks closed, large brownfield areas remained, some of which are being redeveloped. The Lambro River runs along the eastern side, and Milan's metro line M1 ends at Sesto FS station.
A Sesto San Giovanni map poster shows a town shaped by work. Wide, rectangular former factory plots sit between dense housing blocks and rail tracks, and the grid of greater Milan presses in from the south. It suits people with family roots in these factories and anyone interested in industrial cities.

The main railway runs through the town, and line M1 reaches its terminus at Sesto FS, which ties the town directly to central Milan.
The Lambro River follows the eastern side of the town, and its thin, winding line contrasts with the right angles of the industrial plan.

Why Sesto San Giovanni
Many families in Lombardy trace their story to Sesto's factories. A map of the town honours that working heritage in a way that feels appropriate: plain, precise and without sentimentality.
You can personalise the title, subtitle and coordinates, with a factory name, a family name or a year, for example. Choose from Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint and Sand. Noir suits the old steelworks especially well.
