The Italian Grand Prix is located in Monza
just outside one of Europe’s most cosmopolitan cities: Milan

And that’s true also of fans headed to the city for World Endurance Championship races
If you’re thinking about travelling to Milan and Monza for a race
this guide will help you arrange your travel plans and ensure your trip goes off without a hitch
The Italian Grand Prix is ideally places for international visitors
just outside Italy’s second largest city
Served by efficient rail lines and and international airports
getting to Monza is not complicated wherever you’re travelling from
Milan is the closest major city to aim for
You’ll be able to travel to the circuit within an hour
and it puts you in the heart of this exquisite city
Monza is 23km north of the city centre of Milan
The distance can be covered in just under an hour by car
It will inevitably take longer on race weekends
There are three airports in the vicinity of Milan
Cross-border services make Milan accessible from Basel
This route begins in the Netherlands and passes through Belgium
so those with motorhomes might see this as a useful way of travelling to the race
The town of Monza itself is slightly north of the city of Milan
which will be approximately a 20-minute walk to the circuit
hotels and accommodation might be cheaper in Milan itself
there are three main ways to get to the race
There are two train stations near the circuit you can aim for
Monza F1 shuttle buses usually operate from outside the station
The closest train station to the Monza circuit is Biassono-Lesmo
and you can catch a train from Milano Porto Garibaldi
This entrance to the circuit is quite a walk from the Fan Zone and activities
but a good option if you are in grandstands 9
you could take the metro to Sesto1 Maggio FS
But be warned: these buses are extremely busy all weekend
They might be a useful mode of transport for Friday Formula 1 practice sessions
but avoid this method for Formula 1 Grand Prix Sunday
Driving from Milan to Monza can get extremely busy on race weekends and will take around an hour
which will cost around €20 per day to park in
Taxis will also be available throughout the city
and not a bad option if you can split the fare with a group
but it might be well worth it for the ease of travel
It could also be worth jumping on the Metro towards Sesto1 Maggio FS
There are several parking options dotted around the Monza track
The Blue zone is the cheapest and is around 4km from the circuit
The Monza F1 shuttle bus linking the car park and the circuit is included in the price of €100 for a 3-day pass
Tickets for the Italian Grand Prix are already on sale and sell out every year without fail. Avoid disappointment and buy yours now
‘artist’ is the only title that seems fit for Italian native Alberto Cantu
his greenness in the scene belies what is reality the work of a gifted photographer
with shots so painterly they could just as easily appear in a gallery as they could within the pages of a magazine
Portraiture appears sporadically in his work
in between shots of his brother or a stranger lies what is Alby’s true inspiration; water
So forceful is the pull of the tides that Alby recalls hatching a plan to ditch his hometown of Biassono with only his first borrowed camera as luggage
“I always tried to escape from the city as fast as I could in order to get to the sea
or the lake or; to escape into nature in general
photography for me was just a way of documenting the sports I was doing in nature
Sportsmen sometimes pull focus in Alby’s work
from a halfpipe-bound skater to a snowboarder in mid-flight
but he’s much more concerned with the natural arenas they occupy
Composed with the precision of an architect
with some requiring a double-take to inspect for brushstrokes
While this artistic style is his signature
Alby concedes that the beauty of his work comes in equal parts from nature
“Lakes and beaches are the places where I shoot my best images
and it’s a perfect combination where light
It’s the same sort of inspiration that Monet might’ve drawn from his famed water lily lakes and starry nights
It’s why the term ‘artist’ is so apt for a photographer like Alby
and informs somewhat of an artist’s statement about his craft
it gives me the possibility to express myself
to say things that otherwise I couldn’t
when I started my style was focused on sports
I started giving more and more space to my emotions
