Milano 2 (also known as Milano Due) is a residential centre in the Italian town of Segrate (Province of Milan).[1][2] It was built as a new town by Edilnord, a company associated with Silvio Berlusconi in the 1970s.[3]
The main peculiarity of Milano 2 is its walkability: A system of walkways, cycle paths and bridges connects the whole neighbourhood so that it is possible to walk around without ever intersecting with vehicular traffic. It was marketed as a residential neighbourhood for families of the upper middle class with children.
History
Work started on the project in 1971 and was completed in 1979. Distinctive landmarks of the complex include the sporting facilities, a small artificial lake (il laghetto), children's and adults' playgrounds, and lots of green areas so you can also think of living inside a park.
In May 2023, parts of the town, including the business centre were subject to flooding.[4]
Media
Milano 2 also hosted the headquarters of the first Italian private television channel, TeleMilanocavo, a small cable network that started broadcasting in the area in 1974. A few years later, it changed its name to Telemilano, and when Silvio Berlusconi bought it, it changed the name again to Canale 5, the first national private TV station.
Notable people
Owners of property in the town have included Silvio Berlusconi and Marta Fascina.[5]
