Rho, Administrative commune in Metropolitan City of Milan, Italy

Rho sits 14 kilometers northwest of Milan at an elevation of 156 meters, intersected by the Olona River and major transportation routes.

Ancient Roman settlements marked the early development of Rho, with documentation from 864 AD referring to it as Vicus Raudus, including houses and Sant'Ambrogio church.

The municipal coat of arms displays a wheel with five spokes, symbolizing five emperors connected to local nobility throughout the region's history.

The commune encompasses seven distinct districts: Castellazzo, Biringhello, Lucernate, Mazzo, Pantanedo, Passirana, and Terrazzano, each with specific characteristics.

The Fiera di Milano exhibition center, constructed in the early 21st century within Rho's boundaries, represents a major economic development for the region.
