The crossroads
Via Novara runs east–west, as wide as a state road because under the asphalt lies the road to Vercelli. Via San Giusto cuts across it north–south: north to piazza Axum and the stadium, south to San Carlo hospital and Baggio.

North up. Via San Giusto climbs from the crossroads to piazza Axum and the stadium and descends to San Carlo and Baggio; via Novara runs east towards the city and west towards Quarto Cagnino, Quinto Romano and Figino. Straight-line distances from the crossroads.

The crossroads and the stadium, from above
Six hundred metres between the red dot and the pitch. In between, Harar and via San Giusto. All maps.
On match days
Two teams, one stadium, two ends
From the crossroads via San Giusto leads to the Curva Sud, which belongs to Milan. The other end belongs to Inter. The two stories stay separate.

The full directory of official sources, with the selection criteria, is in Method.
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.
