Musocco
Musocco ( lmo, Musòcch ) is a district of Milan, located in the north-western outskirts of the city, belonging to Zone 8. Until 1923 Musocco was an independent comune, to whom also belonged the localities of Boldinasco, Garegnano, Quarto Oggiaro, Roserio and Vialba. The name comes from the word ''musa'', which means marsh, indicating that the area was crossed by numerous streams and springs which formed overflowing of swamping. The main waterway is the river Pudiga. In Milan the name "Musocco" is also often referred to the Main Cemetery of Milan. Ancient History Musocco stood kept on the road leading from Milan to Varese, with some farmhouse shed in the middle of a wooded area in part. The earliest records date back to the pastoral visit of St.Charles Borromeo in 1605 with a hundred inhabitants devoted to work in the fields. Musocco turns out to belong to the Pieve of Trenno. 18th Century Looking at a map of the mid-nineteenth century of the North-West of Milan, one ...

Cimitero Maggiore Di Milano
The Cimitero Maggiore di Milano ("Greater Cemetery of Milan"), also known as Cimitero di Musocco ("Musocco Cemetery"), is the largest cemetery of Milan, Italy. It is located in Zone 8, in the Musocco district (formerly a ''comune'' of its own), not far from the Garegnano Charterhouse. The cemetery has an overall area of 678,624 m2 (including 80,000 m2 of green space) with over 500,000 graves. History In the 19th century, as a consequence of the rapid demographic growth of Milan, a thorough reorganization of the cemeteries of the city was due. At the time, Milan had a large number of small cemeteries located in areas that were originally peripheral but, as the city expanded, had experienced a quick urbanization. Plans were made to close down most of these small cemeteries and build a few, larger ones, in the outskirts of the city. The Monumentale was built first (in the early decades of the century), but it soon became clear that at least another large cemetery was needed. C ...

Quarto Oggiaro
Quarto Oggiaro (; lmo, Quart Oggiee ) is a district of Milan in the north-west of the city. It belongs to Zone 8 of Milan, Zone 8, and has a population of 35000 inhabitants. Name The name Quarto Oggiaro derives from the ancient toponymy ''Quarto Uglerio'': the word ''Quarto'', meaning fourth, is a clear reference to the distance of four Roman miles from the center of Milan; while the second part of the name, ''Uglerio'', is supposed to be the name of some influent inhabitant of the area in ancient times. The transformation from Uglerio to Oggiaro can be found on the city maps of 1872, but it can be already seen on some maps of the Spanish period. Once an autonomous village, Quarto Oggiaro became a ''frazione'' of Musocco (municipality), Musocco following the administrative reforms pursued by empress Maria Theresa in the 18th century. Boundaries Quarto Oggiaro borders are: * northward, the ''comune'' of Novate Milanese; * eastward, the districts of Bovisasca and Comasina, w ...

Roserio
Roserio is a district ("quartiere") of Milan, Italy, part of the Zone 8 administrative division of the city. It is the northernmost district, bordering on the ''comune'' of Baranzate. Before being annexed to Milan, it has been an autonomous comune, as well as part of Bollate and of Musocco. Roserio is best known for the Luigi Sacco hospital, located in Piazzale Roserio, which is a prominent hospital of Milan, and the most advanced in the treatment of infectious diseases. Roserio's main connection to Milan is a tramway (line 12) that has its terminal in Piazzale Roserio; the tramway goes south to the very centre of Milan ( Piazza Duomo).

Roserio is also the seat of a major CMP (Centro di Meccanizzazione Postale, Postal Mechanization Centre), i.e., a centre devoted to forwarding and sorting mail (especially international mail). In the 2000s, the Roserio CMP has been largel ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Villapizzone
Villapizzone is a district ("quartiere") of Milan, Italy. It belongs to the Zone 8, located north of the city centre. It was an autonomous ''comune'' until 1869. History The origins of Villapizzone traditionally traces back to the 6th century, when a saintly Greek monk named Atanasio Piccione settled down in a forest and began to lead a community of Greek friars. The place was named ''Villaggio Piccione'' or ''Villa Piccione'', hence Villapizzone. According to Giacomo Stella, who was the dean of the local church of San Martino in 1530, the friars initially deforested an area to cultivate it, then they built a little village consisting of some farmhouse and a church. Documented references to the ''comune'' of Villapizzone date back at least to 1346. In the Late Middle Ages and until the 18th century, the ''comune'' used to be part of the ''pieve'' of Trenno. During Napoleonic rule, in 1808, Villapizzone was annexed to Milan, but regained its autonomy in 1816 with the establishment ...

Baggio (district Of Milan)
Baggio ( lmo, Bagg ) is a district (''quartiere'') of Milan, Italy, part of the Zone 7 administrative division of the city. Before being annexed to Milan in 1923, it was an autonomous ''comune''. The origin of name ''Baggio'' is disputed. Some scholars suggest that it might be from a Roman military tower called ''Badalocum'' (in Latin, "watch the place"); others have it derive from a toponymy ''Badia Aggeris'', possibly referring to an abbey, which over time was contracted into ''Badagio'' and later distorted into ''Badaglo'', then ''Badaxio'', and eventually ''Baggio''. History A settlement in Baggio (most probably of Celts) is reported at least since Roman times. In 221 BC, the territory of modern Baggio and surrounding areas of Trenno, Quarto Cagnino, Quinto Romano and Seguro was conquered by the Romans; they built a watchtower in the most elevated place of the area to control the road to Novara. This place was named "Baggio" in the Middle Ages. The original settlement was ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Maria Theresa
Maria Theresa Walburga Amalia Christina (german: Maria Theresia; 13 May 1717 – 29 November 1780) was ruler of the Habsburg dominions from 1740 until her death in 1780, and the only woman to hold the position '' suo jure'' (in her own right). She was the sovereign of Austria, Hungary, Croatia, Bohemia, Transylvania, Mantua, Milan, Lodomeria and Galicia, the Austrian Netherlands, and Parma. By marriage, she was Duchess of Lorraine, Grand Duchess of Tuscany and Holy Roman Empress. Maria Theresa started her 40-year reign when her father, Emperor Charles VI, died on 20 October 1740. Charles VI paved the way for her accession with the Pragmatic Sanction of 1713 and spent his entire reign securing it. He neglected the advice of Prince Eugene of Savoy, who believed that a strong military and a rich treasury were more important than mere signatures. Eventually, Charles VI left behind a weakened and impoverished state, particularly due to the War of the Polish Succession and ...
