Villa Cortese, Municipality in Metropolitan City of Milan, Italy
Villa Cortese extends across an area northwest of Milan at 192 meters above sea level, with residential neighborhoods and eight public parks throughout the territory.
The municipality's first documented mention dates to 1261, when the Convent of San Giorgio acknowledged properties between the Olona river and Villa Cortese's current location.
The annual traditional fair at the end of September presents local products and crafts, followed by winter markets during the month of December.
The town connects to neighboring municipalities through Movibus transportation services and maintains primary and middle schools for local education needs.
Archaeological findings include a Roman sarcophagus from the 1st century AD, now displayed at the Guido Sutermeister Civic Museum in nearby Legnano.
