Bignami is the northern terminus station of Line 5 of the Milan Metro. The station is located at the intersection of Viale Fulvio Testi and Via Emilio Bignami, near the border with Sesto San Giovanni.
Like the adjacent street, it commemorates Emilio Bignami, a 19th-century engineer who pioneered modern water and sewage services for the city of Milan.
