Bollate Nord - Traversagna
The canopy station of Traversagna was a stop on the Milan-Saronno railway line, serving the town of Bollate, characterised by the announcement: “Stops at all stations except Traversagna”. It was replaced by the station of Bollate Nord.
The stop was opened in the early 1960s and was in operation until its closure in 1990, with the quadruplication of the line between Garbagnate and Novate Milanese. The stop had no passenger building and just two platforms.

Not far from the stop lies Senago, a historic town where Cardinal Federico Borromeo acquired a villa on the eastern edge of the Groane plains, lending hospitality to seminarists and theologists. The cardinal died in 1631, before any significant restoration work could be carried out. It was Gilberto IV Borromeo, later Bishop of Novara and cardinal, who planned the renovation of the old mansion. The initial project, entrusted to Filippo Cagnola, involved a major transformation of the old building into a monumental palace, set around a north-facing open courtyard. The works were only completed, however, in this century, through the work of Milan architects Fausto and Giuseppe Bagatti Valsecchi.
