Ravizza Park

Ravizza Park is a rectangular green space in Milan with symmetrical pathways and a mix of maple, cedar, oak, poplar, and elm trees spread throughout. The vegetation creates different zones for walking and sitting.

The park was created in 1903 from the transformation of the Camporicco farmhouse into a public space, following Milan's major 1889 urban development plan. It was designed as an organized green area for the expanding city.

The park is named after Alessandrina Ravizza, a woman's rights advocate who worked to help abandoned children and support women's education. Visitors experience it as a place of quiet refuge and gathering.

The park has four entrances along Viale Toscana, Via Bocconi, Viale Bach, and Via Vittadini, allowing easy access from different directions. The pathways inside are straightforward and easy to navigate.

Since the 1940s, after Bocconi University was built nearby, the park became a key daytime meeting spot for students. This role transformed it into a crossroads between academic life and urban space.
