"A fellow traveler and I were in Milan, but as those who have been to Milan probably know; it's expensive. We wanted to see a show at La Scala so we mingled with the wealthy intellects in our cheap seats then headed for the station. To our surprise the warm waiting room was open all night. The sign said it would close from 1 to 5, but it never did :). Bathrooms were closed so we had to pee between trains or on open trains. The benches are uncomfortable, but everything's clean, quiet, and very safe. We only slept for about an hour, but that had more to do with the wine than the environment."

This was a few years ago, but I doubt much has changed since then. I arrived at Bergamo airport around midnight. Since I was taking the first train back to Florence, I decided to just wait the five hours or so at the train station instead of spending the money for a hostel. Big mistake.
By the time I got to the train station, the doors were locked. So, I was stuck standing right outside the train station. There were plenty of other people doing this. Most of them were sketchy middle-aged men. I was a lone 20 year-old female, so I felt very uncomfortable. One of them talked to me for awhile and tried to get me to come into his car. I just kept declining. He eventually went away.
Once the train station opened around 5am, it wasn't much better. Another weird guy came up to me and tried to give me a massage. So gross.
Anyway, if you are in a guy or with a guy, you will probably be left alone. Otherwise, I wouldn't risk it.
