327.1 Museo Nazionale della Resistenza
Strengthening and Reinforcing the City The overall masterplan for Porta Volta holds significant potential to positively impact the surrounding area in Milan due to its important scale and strategic placement within the city. As part of this area’s transformation, Herzog & de Meuron completed projects in 2016 for the new headquarters of Fondazione Giangiacomo Feltrinelli as well as an adjacent office building. The Museo della Resistenza, located directly facing these two buildings, will mark the last step in the development of the Porta Volta masterplan. A Site Steeped in History The uniqueness of the Porta Volta area lies in its location along the route of the Mura Spagnole, or Spanish Walls. These ancient walls, dating back to the 16th century, are the last in a series of fortifications that, since Roman times, have defined the city’s boundaries. With the opening of the Bastions at the end of the 19th century, Via Alessandro Volta marked the beginning of the extension of the city outside the old walls, representing a new axis connecting the historic center and the Cimitero Monumentale, or Monumental Cemetery.
