The liveliness of a cosmopolitan city like Milan certainly benefits from its metro network, which branches out over more than one hundred kilometres across the city, also reaching many smaller towns in its surroundings. Milan&#8217;s metro system consists of three traditional lines and two light town railway systems, the latter with a lower hourly capacity. After the first line (M1), also called the Red Line, built in 1957 and operating since 1964, the Green Line (M2) opened in 1969, the Yellow Line (M3) in 1990, the Lilac Line (M5) in 2013 and the Blue Line (M4) in 2022.
In the year of the opening of the Red Line, 1964, the Compasso d&#8217;Oro was awarded to architects Franca Helg and Franco Albini, who were responsible for the architectural design, and to Dutch graphic designer Bob Noorda for the creation of the signage. Conceived by the brilliant mind of Gio Ponti, the Compasso d&#8217;Oro is a prestigious international award as well as the oldest award in the field of industrial design.
Over the years, each line has undergone extensions and interventions of various nature. Most recently the M4 line underwent renovations in 2023. Among the works, great emphasis was placed on the modernisation of the lighting network to make it more efficient and economical.
The lighting fixtures were supplied by Disano, the Italian company with considerable and long-standing experience in the lighting of infrastructures of different types and sizes, such as railways, airports, bridges, parking areas and hospital facilities, all places for which Disano developed targeted lighting designs and supplied the luminaires.
In detail, the metro line in Milan used Jet recessed lights and ceiling fixtures such as LED Panel and Supercomfort fitting ecologically innovative LED sources. The result is a stable light flux, free of the flickering effect that causes serious damage to human eyesight (low flicker), as well as a decisive reduction in energy and maintenance costs, a fundamental parameter in places where artificial lights are always on, day and night.
In the areas for transiting or waiting, Liset 2.0 by Fosnova (Disano Group) were installed. These linear fixtures allow for modular solutions for high lighting performance. These fixtures, too, use the latest generation of LED sources to guarantee high colour rendering for the best possible viewing and wellbeing.
Overall, Disano&#8216;s modern lighting system contributes to making every area of the Milan metro station a more welcoming, comfortable and, above all, a safer place.
