The complete history of trainwriting on the Northern Railways of Milan:
genesis and development narrated by all the protagonists.
FNdamentale 1992-2002: a one-of-a-kind chronographic volume which, like a time
capsule, contains the complete history of the first eleven years of graffiti on the
FN Line (Ferrovie Nord Milano) and the complete history of the line itself.
FN Line is one of the cornerstones of Italian trainwriting, a legendary line whose
fame has gone beyond its regional borders to the entire country of Italy, Europe and
beyond the oceans.
Designed and conceived as a magnum opus full of details, it retraces all the events:
from the early experimental pieces in the Milan Cadorna and Saronno stations in
1992, through all the hardcore of the nineties up to the new graffiti game of the
early 2000s.
This publication was built on the solid foundations of first-hand experiences in those years. Underpinned by a thirty-year passion for historicization, the work was generated through four years of research and development, merging into 652 pages.
More than 40 interviews and stories from the protagonists of the movement. A railway technical subtext that places data, and dates, at the basis of the rigorous monthly chronological order of the 3,000 restored analog photos, of which more than half still unpublished, and as many as 480 revived in panoramic collages of pieces, end 2 ends, wholecars and wholetrains, representing hundreds of Italian and foreign writers.
FNdamentale is an “essential” on the shelf of anyone who considers himself an admirer of global trainwriting; an unlimited source of information and inspiration.
A timeless collector’s item and an encyclopedia for future generations
