Walking routes from the crossroads
Three walks that start from the crossroads of via Novara and via San Giusto and take less than an hour there and back. Each stop is a place the site has already told, with its sources: the houses signed by Figini, Pollini, Ponti and Mangiarotti, the stadium and Leonardo’s Horse, the church that gives the district its name, the Monte Stella hill.
Times are calculated on the straight-line distance plus the street stretch, at about 80 metres a minute. There are no guides, bookings or partners: you walk on public pavements. For public transport, Getting here; for the places one by one, Places and traditions.

Plan and volumes
I tre percorsi, sulla pianta
Buildings in black, streets in white, green and sports grounds in the section colours: the plan is drawn from OpenStreetMap data, with building volumes where the height is recorded. The 3D button shows the volumes; drag to rotate.

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.
