Located on the Lecco–Milan railway, it serves the municipality of Arcore with trains from and to Monza-Milano or Lecco ("S8", main service), and Bergamo (regional trains, "R"). A second station - of a different railway line, the Monza-Molteno-Lecco railway - is present in Arcore, located in Ca' Bianca-Buttafava area (Buttafava railway station, of "S7" line of Milan suburban railway service), with trains from and to Monza-Milano or Lecco, but running through a more long and slow way than the trains of the main Arcore station (across the brianza hills zone - Colli Briantei - instead than straight to Lecco through the most short way).

Villa Gallarati Scotti, Vimercate
Villa Gallarati Scotti, Vimercate

The Villa Gallarati Scotti is a rural palace located near the town of Vimercate, in the Province of Monza and Brianza, in the Region of Lombardy, Italy. The villa, also known as Villa di Oreno, was built initially in 1685 by Giovanni Battista Scotti, Conte di Colturano. It was one of the villas engraved by Marcantonio Dal Re in his book about contemporary villas di delizia (Ville di Lombardia) near Milan.The villa underwent Neoclassic style reconstruction in the end of the 18th and start of the 19th century by the architect Simone Cantoni. The facade was added a large clock face. The surrounding gardens were arrayed in parterres, and contained a Nymphaeum of Neptune (1720–1721) with a waterfall fountain. The latter was admired by the French scholar Montesquieu in 1728. Later, during the renovation works the garden changed style too. It was originally based on the French style, it featured statues, fountains, and a tree-lined venue. After the renovation it adopted the newer emerging English style, it was enlarged, the bushes were chopped and replaced by a large plain of grass surrounded by tall trees.The interior was decorated with various frescoes from the 17th century, including a Hall of Alexander the Great with frescoed scenes depicting: Alexander tames Bucephalus; Alexander and the Gordian Knot, Alexander wounded at Tarsus, Alexander at Issus. The ceiling has allegorical figures including The Pardon, Love of Country, Abundance, Victory and Strength. While the artists have not been identified, they have been attributed to either Pietro Maggi, Giovanni Battista Sassi, Francesco Bianchi (painter), or Giovanni Battista Castellino. In 1845, Duke Tomaso Gallarati Scotti commissioned works from Gioacchino Crivelli, and later from Franco Ruggeri.The duke Tommaso was followed by his son G. Carlo, prince of Molfetta. Carlo, who was very interested in natural sciences and bred animals in the Garden of the villa, it is known that he once performed with a bear for charity. The villa Gallarate Scotti was affected by the two world wars as well. During the first war G. Carlo himself made it available as a rehabilitation center for the injured soldiers, during the second war, the villa was confiscated and used for military purposes. At the end of the war, it was G. Giacomo Gallarate Scotti, the heir of G. Carlo, who refurbished the villa and completed the works to restore it.

Monza Circuit
Monza Circuit

The Monza Circuit (Italian: Autodromo Nazionale di Monza, lit. 'National Motor Racetrack of Monza') is a historic 5.793 km (3.600 mi) race track near the city of Monza, north of Milan, in Italy. Built in 1922, it was the world's third purpose-built motor racing circuit after Brooklands and Indianapolis and the oldest in mainland Europe. The circuit's biggest event is the Italian Grand Prix. With the exception of the 1980 running, the race has been hosted there since 1949.Built in the Royal Villa of Monza park in a woodland setting, the site has three tracks – the 5.793 km (3.600 mi) Grand Prix track, the 2.405 km (1.494 mi) Junior track, and a 4.250 km (2.641 mi) high speed oval track with steep bankings which was left unused for decades and had been decaying until it was restored in the 2010s. The major features of the main Grand Prix track include the Curva Grande, the Curva di Lesmo, the Variante Ascari and the Curva Alboreto (formerly Curva Parabolica). The high speed curve, Curva Grande, is located after the Variante del Rettifilo which is located at the end of the front straight or Rettifilo Tribune, and is usually taken flat out by Formula One cars. In addition to Formula One, the circuit previously hosted the 1000 km Monza, an endurance sports car race held as part of the World Sportscar Championship and the Le Mans Series. Monza also featured the unique Race of Two Worlds events, which attempted to run Formula One and USAC National Championship cars against each other. The racetrack also previously held rounds of the Grand Prix motorcycle racing (Italian motorcycle Grand Prix), WTCC, TCR International Series, Superbike World Championship, Formula Renault 3.5 Series and Auto GP. Monza currently hosts rounds of the Blancpain GT Series Endurance Cup, International GT Open and Euroformula Open Championship, as well as various local championships such as the TCR Italian Series, Italian GT Championship, Porsche Carrera Cup Italia and Italian F4 Championship, as well as the Monza Rally Show. In 2020 Monza hosted the 2020 World Rally Championship final round, ACI Rally Monza, with the circuit hosting 10 of the 16 rally stages. Monza also hosts cycling and running events, most notably the Monza 12h Cycling Marathon and Monza 21 Half Marathon. The venue was also selected by Nike scientists for the Breaking2 event, where three runners attempted to break the 2 hour barrier for the marathon. Eliud Kipchoge ran 2:00:25.A very fast circuit, Monza has been the site of many fatal accidents, especially in the early years of the Formula One world championship, and has claimed the lives of 52 drivers and 35 spectators. Track modifications have continuously occurred, to improve spectator safety and reduce curve speeds, but it is still criticised by the current drivers for its lack of run-off areas, most notoriously at the chicane that cuts the Variante della Roggia.

2006 Italian Grand Prix
2006 Italian Grand Prix

The 2006 Italian Grand Prix (officially the Formula 1 Gran Premio Vodafone d'Italia 2006) was a Formula One motor race held on 10 September 2006 at Autodromo Nazionale di Monza. It was the fifteenth race of the 2006 Formula One season, and was won by Michael Schumacher driving a Ferrari car. Immediately following the race, Michael Schumacher announced that he would retire from motor racing at the end of the 2006 season. Robert Kubica achieved his first career podium finish, in only his third Grand Prix. It was also only the second Grand Prix meeting appearance of Kubica's Friday driver successor, Sebastian Vettel. Vettel had impressed at the Turkish Grand Prix by setting the fastest time in one session, but he set the fastest time in both Friday practice sessions at this Grand Prix. The race was also the first race to see the introduction of a new High Speed Barrier developed by the FIA Institute and the FIA. The system, which was installed at the end of the run-off areas at the circuit’s second chicane and Parabolica corners, was designed for use at corners with high speed approaches and limited run-off areas. Also this was the last race of the Red Bull driver Christian Klien, until his return to a race seat at the 2010 Singapore Grand Prix. After the race, in the press conference, Michael Schumacher announced his retirement from Formula One. The race was his 90th victory. Four years later however in 2010, Schumacher returned to F1 with Mercedes.
