Introduction

Parco Sempione, located in Milan, Italy, is a grand urban green space adjacent to the famous Sforza Castle. The park's name can be traced back to the Sempione Tunnel of 1906, from which the eponymous Corso Sempione also derives. The park's history dates back to 1888 when it was decided to demolish nearby houses to create a peaceful public space for walking, horse racing, and revolutionary celebrations. Between the Sforza Castle and the Arch of Peace lies a picturesque English-style garden, including hills, valleys, irregular flower beds and paths, ponds and canals, and various trees and shrubs. Since its construction, the park has become the center of leisure for Milanese people and is closely related to art. Various important buildings, such as the Palazzo dell'Arte, are located within the park. Now, by providing wireless network coverage in the park, the Milanese government allows tourists to enjoy internet access. Whether you want to walk, run, read, enjoy nature, or appreciate art, Parco Sempione is a great place to visit.
