Milano Centrale (Italian: Stazione di Milano Centrale) is the main railway station of the city of Milan, Northern Italy, and is the second busiest railway station in Italy for passenger flow (after Roma Termini) and the largest railway station in Europe by volume.
King Victor Emmanuel III of Italy laid the cornerstone of the new station on 28 April 1906, before a blueprint for the station had even been chosen.
The last, real, contest for its construction was won in 1912 by architect Ulisse Stacchini, who titled his project „In Motu Vita,” meaning „Life in Motion” in Latin.
His proposal was given unanimous approval by the commission gathered to judge the competition.
The purported style was an eclectic mix called „Assyrian-Lombard.”
