Paderno Dugnano is a commune in the Metropolitan City of Milan consisting of seven different districts spread across approximately 14 square kilometers. Located about 15 kilometers from Milan's city center, the area sits at an elevation of 163 meters.

The area took its present form through administrative changes during Italy's unification in 1861, initially taking the name Paderno Milanese. The commune received its current name in February 1886.

The different neighborhoods such as Calderara, Dugnano, and Palazzolo Milanese each maintain their own identity and shape daily life in the area. Each district has its own character with local shops and gathering places that structure how residents interact.

The area has good connections to surrounding regions and sits close to Milan's broader metropolitan infrastructure. Visitors can easily reach it from outside and access the services of the wider metropolitan area.

The area has a high population density of around 3,300 people per square kilometer, creating a concentrated residential environment. This density is typical of the developed suburbs of Lombardy that are directly linked to a major city.
