Cologno Monzese

Cologno Monzese is a municipality directly east of Milan featuring flat terrain and dense urban development. The town spreads across several neighborhoods with residential areas, commercial zones, and broadcast facilities.

The municipality grew rapidly after World War II as many people migrated from southern Italian regions. This migration transformed both the population size and the physical character of the town.

The Church of San Giuliano anchors the town with its medieval Romanesque architecture. It remains a focal point for local religious life and a visible reminder of the area's past.

Three metro stations connect the town to Milan and enable easy travel. Visitors should plan to arrive by public transportation for the most straightforward access.

The town hosts major television and radio broadcasting studios of national importance within its boundaries. These facilities make it an important media hub for the broader region.
