GAE AULENTI SQUARE, Square

Hi, I'm James, your personal guide. Together with MyWoWo, I'd like to welcome you to one of the wonders of the world.

Today I'll accompany you on your visit to the area including Gae Aulenti Square.

Gae Aulenti Square is one of the most futuristic architectural complexes in Europe!

It's important to know that for the Universal Exhibition of 2015, Milan underwent a period of intense building and urban renewal: its image, profile, and symbols have changed, and the city is experiencing an artistic and cultural renaissance.

So if you want to experience the Milan of the 21st century and see one of Europe's most fascinating contemporary architectural complexes, you should go to the Porta Nuova area around the bastions, and near the Garibaldi train station.

The heart of this area is the elevated square named after Gae Aulenti, and has an elegant wooden pavilion at its center that houses art exhibitions. At wintertime the square turns into a skating rink that's very popular with the Milanese, and if you go at night you can see its three fountains light up with a thousand colors thanks to the Solar Tree, an LED lighting system that uses the solar energy stored up during the day to power the lights at night....
