Municipio 6 of Milan, Administrative division in southwestern Milan, Italy
Municipio 6 is an administrative zone in southwestern Milan that includes neighborhoods such as Barona, Lorenteggio, and Porta Genova. The area combines residential quarters with commercial zones and is crossed by historic canals that shape its layout.
The zone was created in 1999 when three previous administrative districts merged into one unified municipality. This reorganization brought together communities that had distinct identities but shared geographic proximity.
The Darsena basin and its connected canals serve as a gathering place where locals spend time walking and socializing. People come here to enjoy the waterside atmosphere and experience a different side of the city away from busier areas.
The zone is well served by metro stations and suburban railway connections that make it easy to get around. Schools at all levels and a university are distributed throughout the district, providing good access to education and services.
The area is home to IULM University, a respected institution focused on media and communication studies. This academic presence has shaped the character of the neighborhood and brings students and faculty who contribute to its vitality.
