Milano, la paura dei residenti in zona Certosa dopo l'omicidio del 22enne in stazione

The content addresses a sensitive event from an informative and journalistic perspective, aiming to provide context and understanding of the facts. The stabbing of 22-year-old Gianluca Ibarra Silvera at Milan Certosa Station has rekindled the concerns of local residents, as well as those who work at the station. Fear is palpable on their faces, so much so that almost all of them have not even wanted to show them. Nonetheless, the outcry is strong: the demand, at least within the station, is for more security cameras and a permanent police presence. For residents who live directly above the station, there are nighttime noises, degradation next to and on the tracks, and fear even just to look out from their balconies. For those who work at the station, night shifts terrified for their safety and mornings spent trying to clean up as much of the evening bivouacs as possible. The area, residents point out, has often been the scene of news stories, especially fights, muggings, and thefts. Among the most high-profile incidents were an attempted robbery in February, with the thief trapped in a vault, and a beating in June 2025, right at the station. Two 25-year-olds, later arrested in September, beat and tore a necklace from a 25-year-old's neck as he was descending the stairs. And just over a year ago, as part of the Safe Stations Pact, the Prefecture announced increased security and lighting at the Milano Certosa station. The area has also undergone redevelopment. The Milano Certosa District, conceived in 2010 but launched and tested between 2023 and 2025, has enhanced the area's technology hub, green spaces, and restored old, abandoned buildings. According to residents, however, everything around it is a "no man's land." Including the station.
