Abbiategrasso, Medieval commune in Metropolitan City of Milan, Italy

This settlement in the Po Valley extends across 47 kilometers of land, combining residential neighborhoods with industrial and agricultural sectors.

The Visconti Castle, constructed in 1382 on earlier fortifications, received substantial modifications and Renaissance frescoes during the 1438 expansion period.

The Basilica of Santa Maria Nuova, dating from 1388, presents an incomplete facade from 1497 following designs attributed to architect Donato Bramante.

Located 22 kilometers from Milan, the town maintains efficient transport connections through a railway station at Via Cavallotti and regular bus services.

The settlement's name evolved from 'Habiate qui dicitur Grasso' in medieval documents, reflecting its position in a fertile agricultural territory.
