Bruzzano


Bruzzano was a farming town with ancient origins, located on the road from Milan to Como (now Via Comasinella). Bruzzano was an independent town until it was abolished in 1868, alongside Bresso and Dergano, and merged with Affori, which was later annexed to Milan in 1923. The Bruzzano area therefore followed the fortunes of the rapidly expanding city, and during the Italian economic boom the urban area of the district expanded, merging with neighbouring districts, and becoming industrialised.
The old Milano Bruzzano station closed down on 25 October 2014 and was replaced by a new one 350 metres to the north.
