Viale Luigi Majno (or just Viale Majno) is one of the main streets of a large residential area in the eastern part of the centre of Milan. It is named after the prominent Italian lawyer and jurist Luigi Majno (1852-1915). According to a study made by Corriere della Sera, Viale Luigi Majno is one of the most expensive residential areas of Milan, reaching up to €20,000 per square meter in some buildings.
Viale Luigi Majno is located in the eastern part of Milan's Cerchia dei bastioni (the area of the city which was surrounded by the Spanish walls built in 1549 by Ferrante I Gonzaga and demolished between the 19th and 20th century). This street extends from Viale Bianca Maria (in the south) to Viale Città di Fiume (in the north); it is separated from the first by Piazza del Tricolore (which is traversed by Corso Monforte as well) and from the second by Piazza Guglielmo Oberdan (or just Porta Venezia). Viale Luigi Majno connects two of the busiest streets in the city: Corso Buenos Aires (and its prosecution Corso Venezia) and Corso Monforte. Although Viale Majno is only about 550 meters long, it is connected to West by (from North) Via Borghetto, Via Giuseppe Baretti, Via Gioacchino Rossini, Via Giuseppe e Francesco Carlo Maggiolini and it is connected to East (to the parallel street Viale Piave) by (from North) Via Giovanni Morelli, Via Lamberto De Bernardi and Via Ippolito Pindemonte.
Viale Majno is approximately 30 meters wide. The pavements are equally sized on both the sides and are from 1.5 to 2 meters wide. The roadway is structured as follows (from East): parking lots (in line and for residents only), double-track one-way North-directed roadway, two parallel lines of trees with a concrete pathway in the middle, double-track one-way South-directed roadway, parking lots (in line and for residents only). Since Viale Majno separates two parking areas (Area 4 on West and Area 14 on East) - one of which is located in Zona di decentramento 4 although it is located the Zona di decentramento 1 [1] (Centro Storico) - it is considered for traffic-regulation purposes an arterial-road; the speed limit is set to 50 km/h.
Viale Luigi Majno used to constitute one of the borders of the Ecopass area of Milan. Since January 16, 2012 - when the Ecopass area was converted into the Area C - Viale Luigi Majno represents the border of the new congestion area. Since the newly established Area C is delimited by the same borders of the Ecopass area, the buildings on the western side of Viale Luigi Majno (with odd numbers) are considered to be in the Area C (even if the main entrances are located outside the Area C), while the buildings on the eastern side (with even numbers) are considered to be outside the area.
Since Viale Luigi Majno is located in a densely populated residential area, its buildings are between 25 and 35 meters high, and have 4 (in the most ancient) to 10 storeys. Because of the urban development plan of 2004, Viale Luigi Majno and the surrounding areas can't be subject to invasive demolitions or edifications; new buildings erected since 2004 have had to comply with some very strict and precise building and aesthetic regulations. Viale Majno, as other areas in the city of Milan, is rich of modern buildings (built after the allied bombing during the Second World War) and some ancient ones (some of which were edified in the 15th century). Being North-South oriented, the ground level of Viale Majno is fully exposed to sunlight only during the central hours of the day: in summer from 10 a.m. to 5.30 p.m. and in winter from 11 a.m. to 3.30 p.m. During the rest of the day, the pavements and the roadways are in the shade of the surrounding buildings and of the trees in the middle of the way. Still, the intense car-flow keeps Viale Majno one of the warmest areas in winter and of the hottest in summer.

The origin of its name is not clear, but the most accepted theory is that it comes from the Latin trivium, because there were three streets all leading to the current Piazza dei Crociferi, a square next to the modern Trevi square.

Porta Venezia is one of the historical gates of the city of Milan, Italy. In its present form, the gate dates back to the 19th century; nevertheless, its origins can be traced back to the Medieval and even the Roman walls of the city.
Porta Romana is a former city gate of Milan, Italy. In its present form, the gate dates back to the 16th century Spanish walls of Milan; its origins can be traced further back to the Roman walls of the city, which had a corresponding "Roman Gate" roughly in the same area. Porta Romana was the first and the main imperial entrance of the entire city of Milan, as it was the starting point of the road leading to Ancient Rome.
The city Milan, Italy, has had three different systems of defending walls. The oldest, Roman walls were developed in two stages, the first in the Republican and the second in the Imperial era. The second wall system was realized in the Middle Ages, after the destruction of the city by Frederick I Barbarossa. Finally, the latest wall system was built by the Spanish rulers. While very little remains of these walls, their structure is clearly reflected in the urbanistic layout of the city. In particular, modern Milan has two roughly circular rings of streets, namely the "Cerchia dei Navigli" and the "Cerchia dei Bastioni", which essentially correspond to the Medieval and Spanish walls, respectively. Note that a third ring of roads just beyond the Inner Ring Road, called the External Ring Road, does not owe itself to any old city walls; but was part of the 1884 Beruto Plan for the city of Milan, created and named after a municipal engineer and public servant to the local city government.
