“Albergo Diurno Venezia” established in 1923 in the underground state-owned area of Piazza Oberdan, in Porta Venezia, North-East side of the center of Milan. This kind of architecture arise in Italy in the years preceding the World War I through the intervention of enlightened entrepreneurs who developed the cutting-edge philosophy of public baths, whereby spaces would have been dedicated to personal hygiene and body care, satisfying additional needs, for both travelers and citizens, such as railway ticket offices, laundries and ironing rooms, barbershops, factories, rental and sale of personal items. Along the same line, Diurno embodied, since Twenties, one of the focal points of the district, lively and strategic, close to the once called “Lazzaretto”, widely furnished and linked with transportation system, ensuring continuously visitor flows and potential customers come for work or leisure time. It was pretty common for tourists, specially at the end of a trip, or for neighborhood inhabitants that usually lived in banister toilet-less houses, the bath or shower practice, the cleaning and steam-ironing of their own clothes, a barber or a place to store their bags.
