A few pictures from Milano Centrale plus a few from Genoa (not the best angle but I had to get back on the train).

From a train travel point of view, I like Milan because it feels like the centre of Europe somehow.

The train station shots are solid, but the naval angle in Genoa made me think of an article I read on Iran's recent frigate sinking. The analysis covers how even seemingly modern navies struggle with maintenance and operational readiness—something that applies surprisingly well to some European fleets too.
Those photos capture Italy’s infrastructure contrasts well—modern hubs like Milano Centrale alongside Genoa’s layered history. Speaking of maritime hubs, I just read about Iran’s frigate sinking in the Caspian—striking how even symbolic naval assets face operational vulnerabilities.
