<\/a>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.
\n
\n<\/a>The local feature that impresses the most is the sheer number of gas stations. In some areas, you can find one every fifty meters.
\n
\n<\/a>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.
\n
\n<\/a>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.
\n
\n<\/a>At the end of January, someone still hasn’t taken down the Nativity scene.
\n
\n<\/a>The typical trash bin of the city looks like this:
\n
\n<\/a>But bins similar to those in Mantua<\/a> are also widespread, albeit less elegant.
\n
\n<\/a>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.
\n
\nI 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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
