Cinisello Balsamo, in the province of Milan, is a municipality that hides with incredible skill the reason for its own existence on our overpopulated planet. But let’s try to explore it.

The local feature that impresses the most is the sheer number of gas stations. In some areas, you can find one every fifty meters.

Evidently there are too many of them and therefore little demand. As a result, the gas station attendants, having little to do, spend their working days (?) playing foosball.

The company «Zoolatino», of unknown purpose, has a riding stable in the middle of the town. In the background on the right, the only original building of Cinisello Balsamo is visible.

At the end of January, someone still hasn’t taken down the Nativity scene.

The typical trash bin of the city looks like this:

But bins similar to those in Mantua are also widespread, albeit less elegant.

The ramps of the underpasses have a frightening slope. Going down (and back up) in a wheelchair must be great fun… But no, they are too narrow. I think they are meant for cyclists in search of adrenaline.

I should have pointed out that Cinisello Balsamo also has a typically Italian concentration of churches… But who cares?! The internet is already full of photographed churches.
