Porta Garibaldi

Piazza XXV Aprile, Milan, Italy

 

Porta Garibaldi is the old Porta Comasina that stands on the old road to Como. It is a Neo-Classical arch originally dedicated to Francesco I of Austria to commemorate his visit to Milan in 1825. It was dedicated to Garibaldi in 1860 and took his name from that time on.

It designated designer was Luigi Cagnola but it was actually built in Viggu stone on the design by Giacomo Moraglia between 1826-28. The gateway is a Doric triumphal arch flanked by two porticoed tollgates that face onto the road.

The building is typical of other famous arches at the entrance to a city (Arco della Pace, Porta Ticinese) but is rather squat and without any specific features.
