Province of Monza and Brianza

The Province of Monza and Brianza is an administrative division in Lombardy, located between Milan and the southern foothills of the Alps. The territory brings together fifty-five municipalities, with Monza serving as the seat of the main government offices.

The province separated from Milan's administration in 2004 and gained full operational status after regional elections in June 2009. Since then, it has functioned as an independent administrative entity within Lombardy.

The region maintains industrial traditions through manufacturing centers while preserving historical structures like the Royal Villa and numerous medieval churches.

The area connects to Milan through several railway lines that reach different towns across the territory. Visitors exploring the region will find information points and signposts to major sights in the larger municipalities.

The Autodromo Nazionale Monza sits within the province and has hosted Formula One races since 1922, making it one of Europe's oldest motorsport complexes. The circuit draws thousands of visitors each year who come to experience the fast corners and the distinct atmosphere of race days.
