Giardino Cassina de' Pomm
Giardino Cassina de' Pomm is a park in Milan between Melchiorre Gioia and Gian Franco Zuretti streets, beside the Martesana canal. Trees, open lawns and recreation areas create a green setting shaped by the waterway.
The grounds occupy the former Bonomi candle factory, whose surviving perimeter walls stand beside a World War Two bunker. A small canal belongs to an older irrigation system that once powered three mills, while robinia, black poplar and red oak grow among the plantings. You can also find a bocce court beneath a poplar, a basketball court and a skating area.
The Leonardo Bridge is an iron pedestrian crossing that once linked the factory with the opposite bank. Locally called “el pont di pan fis”, it is associated with Renzo’s journey in Alessandro Manzoni’s The Betrothed and with the workers’ livelihood.
