Twilight at Porta Romana or Crepuscolo a Porta Romana[1] is a work of art painted in oil on canvas (90x120 cm) by Umberto Boccioni, painted in 1909 in his studio in Via Adige, near Porta Vigentina-Via Ripamonti in Milan.

The painting shows how well Boccioni knew the land near Porta Romana in Milan and the way it was changing over time. He had already started doing this with Officine a Porta Romana.
