Completed in 1931 after nearly three decades of construction, Milano Centrale is the main railway station of Milan and carries UIC code 8301700. Its vaulted concourse, built in a Lombard blend of Art Nouveau and Art Deco, was conceived partly as a statement of fascist-era ambition, yet has become one of the city's most admired pieces of architecture. Every major Italian high-speed corridor calls here, and international services connect Milan with Paris, Zürich, Geneva, and Vienna, placing the station among the busiest rail interchanges in Europe. Centrale lies at roughly 45.49° N, 9.20° E on Italy's 1,435 mm standard-gauge network, north-east of the historic centre and within the Europe/Rome time zone. Its combination of scale and route density makes it the usual transfer point between northern Italy and the rest of the continent.
