Jean Soldini (born 13 March 1956 in Lugano) is a Swiss and French philosopher, art historian and poet.
He studied in Paris, where he earned the Habilitation à diriger des recherches (1995), after he graduated with a Ph.D. in philosophy and with a preceding Ph.D. in history of architecture.
His studies are aimed to build a non-authoritarian metaphysics where aesthetics of hospitality plays a primary role within knowledge, looking for the possibility of a resistance against the annihilation of the Other. A resistance against the arrogance of any kind of authoritarian thinking with its multiform camouflages, with its never-ending threat against what is existing-with-other. The aesthetics of hospitality does not be confused with an aestheticization of hospitality. It is a philosophy involved to reflect on sensation through what has its focus on the senses: to donate and receive food, water, a roof for sleeping. Soldini is also author of essays on Alberto Giacometti, on the philosophical margins of a creative work that put into effect the vital desire to know radically.

Milano Centrale is the main railway station of the city of Milan, Italy, and is the largest railway station in Europe by volume. The station is a terminus and located at the northern end of central Milan. It was officially inaugurated in 1931 to replace the old central station, which was a transit station but with a limited number of tracks and space, so could not handle the increased traffic caused by the opening of the Simplon Tunnel in 1906.
