The project for Milan Metro Line 4, designed by the Policreo studio led by architect Sergio Beccarelli and developed for the Municipality of Milan through the concessionaire SPV Linea M4 SpA, extends from San Cristoforo to Linate and involves the construction of 21 new stations connecting the western and eastern outskirts of Milan. With a total value of €3.5 billion, the new line is scheduled for completion by 2024 and the first six stations had already opened by the end of 2022.

Cotto d’Este ceramic surfaces were selected to cover more than 47,000 sqm of the stations, meeting particularly stringent requirements in terms of technical performance, material quality and aesthetics. Particular attention was paid to the durability of the material, ease of maintenance and cleaning, flexibility of use and long-term reproducibility, all characteristics of Cotto d’Este surfaces that contributed to the company being awarded this major public contract.

PRODUCT USED

The M4 Metro Line project features the use of ceramic materials in a major infrastructure project for the city of Milan. Cotto d’Este porcelain stoneware tiles were selected for their technical and performance characteristics, together with the quality of their production process. This process also includes the use of recycled material and the recovery of part of the residues generated during production, which are reintroduced into the production cycle. At the end of their service life, the material can also undergo mechanical crushing processes, making it easier to manage once its use has come to an end.
