Cadorna Canopy
A railway station often represents a very special research tool for experts in the sector.
The signs of technological evolution that are found there can be considered on a level with archaeological finds, and offer us insights into the working methods that followed over time.

This special aspect of historical analysis can also be extended to the architecture of the buildings, and in this regard it also seemed appropriate to focus on a now almost forgotten element: the canopy at the Cadorna storage yard and its unusual position. Viewed from above and below, it offers not only interesting construction details but also a touching reminder of the daily hustle and bustle lived in the shade of its protection.
