Legnano, Administrative commune in Metropolitan City of Milan, Italy.
Legnano extends along both sides of the Olona River, located 20 kilometers northwest from central Milan with a population of 60,259 residents.
The Battle of Legnano in 1176 marked a defining moment when the Lombard League defeated Emperor Frederick Barbarossa, establishing local independence from the Holy Roman Empire.
The annual Palio di Legnano festival features traditional horse races, medieval processions, and flag-throwing performances representing the eight districts of the city.
The Legnano railway station provides regular connections to Milan, while multiple bus lines serve transportation needs throughout the Metropolitan City region.
Legnano remains one of only two cities specifically mentioned in the Italian national anthem, alongside Rome, commemorating its historical importance.
