A one-of-a-kind space

Located between the Naviglio Martesana and the rail lines of Stazione Centrale, Stazione Radio is an iconic and meaningful location of over 3000 square meters.

Stazione Radio is a regenerated space with an industrial style that makes it one of a kind and framed by a wild nature that is reclaiming its spaces.

Thematic spaces

The Stazione Radio area is enriched by thematic spaces open to citizens, always dedicated to the promotion of sustainable living.

• The “stage-car” located in the center of the garden, was born from a regeneration project financed by the Ministry of Culture. This 1956 freight wagon has been renovated and transformed into a recording studio, with trusses, lights, audio-video systems to host interviews, concerts, performances and live streaming.
• The “railway riviera” is a relaxation area located in the space in front of the stage-car, set up with deckchairs, umbrellas and tables.
• The “railway garden” is a corner dedicated to spontaneous nature and sharing where anyone can bring their own plant and take care of it in a shared space.
• The “cycle garage” is a space at the service of users of the center’s social ecotourism services.
• The “bistro-car” is a recovered container used as a bar which, together with the “food caravan” (a caravan regenerated to accommodate a street-food kitchen), constitute Stazione Radio’s food & beverage offering.

Stazione Radio, a smoke-free space

As a cultural space on sustainable living, Stazione Radio is smoke-free: although the space is outdoors, smoking is not allowed. It is a decision we are very proud of, because smoking is unsustainable for our health nor for the Planet!

To produce a single cigarette:

• – it takes 3.7 liters of water (that’s 110 bathtubs for an average smoker in a year);
• – emissions equal to 14 grams of carbon dioxide;

The production of all the tobacco smoked in a year:

• – requires 22 billion tons of water, or 8.8 million Olympic-sized swimming pools;
• –contributes to 84 million tons of equivalent carbon dioxide emissions – as much as 112million Rome-New York flights.

Also, the tobacco industry contributes to deforestation, water pollution and the dispersion of waste harmful to the environment. Last but not least, its impact on health: smoking is the leading cause of preventable death (and weighs on the public health coffers for about 9 billion euros / year…)
