Trezzano sul Naviglio

Description

Town in the province of Milan, situated on the banks of the Naviglio Grande, south-west of Milan, Trezzano sul Naviglio until the sixties of the XX century was essentially an agricultural town. The town's name reveals its probable Roman origins (it is assumed that in the beginning, it was a fund owned by a certain Tersius). The village is mentioned for the first time in a document in 839, comprising a recognition of inheritance for the Monastery of Saint Ambrose of a farm in the locality of Gnignao and among the signatories appears the name "Angelfrit from Treciano. In the XII century, when the family of De Advocate lost their heritage, their properties were divided between the Monastery of Saint Ambrose and other local lords, whilst the Parish of Trezzano was added to the lands of the Parish of Cesano Boscone. In 1653 it was given in fief to Louis Ponce de Leon, who later donated the lands to Pietro Landolina.
