Located at an elevation of 370 meters, Cantù extends across the central area of Brianza, functioning as a primary administrative center in the Province of Como.

The settlement originated from the Canturigi people in the 6th century BC, later developing into a Gallic village before Roman conquest in 196 BC.

The Basilica di San Vincenzo contains the oldest frescoes in Lombardy, featuring biblical narratives and saint depictions within its medieval stone walls.

Two railway stations, Cantù and Cantù-Cermenate, connect the municipality to major transportation networks throughout the Lombardy region.

The local woodworking tradition maintains specialized carpentry schools, contributing to the region's reputation in furniture manufacturing and design.
