From the crossroads to the Curva Sud
The route as it is walked on match days: from the crossroads up via San Giusto, to piazza Axum where the 16 terminates, and from there into the Curva Sud. Six hundred metres.
Not to scale · Archistadia, YesMilano
The Curva Sud belongs to Milan: it is the end of the stadium facing piazza Axum.
Tram 16 terminates in piazza Axum, inside the Harar estate. On match days it is what brings the red and black supporters to the south entrance.
Via San Giusto, north of the crossroads, continues in a cutting beneath the stadium car park: it is its distinctive piece of town planning, and the reason the corridor reads so clearly from here.

The independent archives, and why they matter
On the club’s history there are archives kept by private individuals, declaredly separate from the company. They are not fan sites: MagliaRossonera describes itself as a historiographical site, holds reproductions of newspapers from 1899 and publishes the work of Ulisse Baruffini, Luigi La Rocca and Lorenzo Mondelli.
Milan was founded in December 1899. Alongside the club’s website, the independent archive rechecks the official account against period documents.

What this page rests on
Every fact is checked against at least two independent sources and, where one exists, the official source.
Two independent sources
Dates, measurements and names go through at least two sources that do not copy each other. Where it exists, we go to the original: the deed, the archive, the body that owns it. What appears in only one place waits.
One version only
If two sources disagree, the original document prevails. If even that is not enough, only the part they agree on is written: the year, for example, instead of the day.
Updated every day
The press review and calendar are updated every day. Everything else changes when a new document turns up, and then it changes everywhere at once.
From the community
Many memories, family photographs and tips come from people who live here, writing to the Facebook page. They are published only if the sender agrees. How to take part: Community.
Everything traceable
Sources are listed above and on the page Sources, with archive, shelfmark and terms of use.
No interpretation passed off as fact
An approximate figure stays approximate, a project stays a project until construction starts, and whatever does not add up stays out. The criteria are in Method.
