[1][2] 171 people were killed and about 300 wounded. 133 people were killed in the attack, 442 were wounded and over 10,000 were left homeless. [1][2] On the night of 18/19 August another bombing by four planes hit the Innocenti and Caproni plants and the Linate Airport. [1][2] On the morning of 29 March, a further 139 bombers of the USAAF Fifteenth Air Force attacked the same target, destroying 500 more wagons, five locomotives and over 5 km of rails; 59 people were killed. [1][2], After 20 October 1944, no more bombings were carried out on Milan. Two very green residential towers cleaning the air in one of Europe's most polluted cities. [1][2] The headquarters of the Corriere della Sera were hit again and partly destroyed; among the public and historical buildings that suffered heavy damage were the Sforza Castle, the Natural History Museum, the Villa Belgiojoso Bonaparte and Palazzo Sormani. [1][2] Several districts suffered further damage; the cathedral was hit again, and the La Scala theatre and the Ospedale Maggiore were heavily damaged; the La Rinascente store was destroyed. Milan, Italy is an ancient city in northern Italy first settled in about 400 BC by Celtic Insubres. [1][2] Most of Milan's most famous buildings were hit during the raid; the Sforza Castle was further damaged, Palazzo Marino (the city hall) and Santa Maria delle Grazie were partly destroyed, the San Fedele Church and the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II suffered heavy damage. [2] This was the heaviest single air raid ever suffered by an Italian city. [1] The Pinacoteca di Brera was also hit. As the main economic and industrial center in Italy, and the country's second largest city, Milan was subjected to heavy bombing during World War II, being the most bombed city in Northern Italy and one of the most bombed cities in the country. On the night of 10/11 July 1944, 84 MAAF Wellingtons bombed the Lambrate railway station once again, but this time the damage was not heavy (and one of the planes was lost); three nights later, 89 Wellingtons attacked the same target, but two were hit by AA fire and the marshalling yard suffered limited damage. The bombing caused massive fires in many parts of Milan; the fires drew air from the surrounding countryside, creating winds that reached a speed of 50 km/h, an event that usually heralded a firestorm, which however did not materialize (owing to the humid climate, in addition to the previously mentioned urbanistic traits typical of Italian cities, and the fact that the raid was heavy but not very concentrated). No bombings were carried out during 1941, and until the autumn of 1942. While Turin and Genoa suffered seven and six raids, respectively, Milan was in this phase the least targeted city. Please click below to consent to the use of this technology while browsing our site. [1][2] On the night of 13 May eight MAAF bombers, sent to attack the Lambrate marshalling yard, missed their target and dropped their bombs over Gorgonzola and Cernusco sul Naviglio. Although the cathedral was not hit during this raid, Harris's decision to centre the raid on a major religious building drew criticism from his superior, Charles Portal and some members of parliament. The discovery has allowed researchers to expand their understanding of World War II and open up a time capsule of life underground during the night raids on Milan. [1][2] The only factory that was damaged was the Pirelli plant. [1][2], One final bombing (by three planes) was carried out on 18/19 December 1940, targeting the Pirelli plant but instead causing slight damage to a few houses and killing eight people, wounding 16.[1][2]. The settlement was conquered by the Romans in 222 BC and renamed it Mediolnum. http://www.napoliunderground.org/en/compon... http://www.napoliunderground.org/it/galler... http://www.napoliunderground.org/en/component/content/article/56-artificial-cavity/3467-hidden-bomb-shelters-beneath-qzone-9q-in-milan-italy.html, https://www.flickr.com/photos/giorgiobranca/sets/72157621328567003/. The former fortress and residence of Milan's most powerful rulers is now a campus for some of the city's best cultural institutions. [1][2] Most of those who were still in Milan evacuated the city on August 13. [5], At the end of the war, Milan had suffered heavy damage from the air raids; out of 930,000 rooms that existed before the war, 360,000 were destroyed or heavily damaged, and over 200,000 suffered lighter damage. [2], Milan cathedral was designated by Harris as the 'aiming point' for the area bombing. The success rate of the anti-aircraft fire, however, did not improve significantly. Milan is an absolute behemoth of a city and has the most populated metropolitan area in Italy with 1.3 million people, and 3.2 million in the wider area surrounding central Milan. [1][2] On the following night, eight aircraft dropped bombs on the Caproni plant, causing little damage. [1][2] On the night of 15/16 August another raid ensued, but the reaction of the anti-aircraft batteries shot down one Vickers Wellington bomber, and induced the others to drop their load over the towns of Merate and Mariano Comense.
