    In the square in front of the Officine Grandi Riparazioni is the monument to Vincenzo Vela, dating back to 1911; on either side of the monument, two locomotives, a steam locomotive from 1922 (940.030) and an experimental electric locomotive from the 1980s (E404.002), painted in Frecciarossa livery. For those who love trains, a pleasant surprise. The square is reached by a comfortable cycle path.

    Monument to the partisan railway workers, or, more precisely, "the railway workers fighting for the defeat of Nazism". Made with metal parts of probable railway derivation, it was built in 1970 and originally housed at the OGR (Officine Grandi Riparazioni) in Turin, to be then placed in its current position in 1994. It is located on the Corso Vittorio Emanuele II cycle path at the intersection of corso Castelfidardo, under the San Paolo skyscraper, and is worth a stop.
