Paderno Dugnano is the North Milan that learned to breathe: between the sheds of old industry and the Comasina, the Grugnotorto park stitches together hectares of metropolitan green, and Tilane — the piazza-library designed by Gae Aulenti — is the town's civic drawing room. Six localities united in one municipality, each with its own bell tower.
The Milano-Meda road reaches the city centre in twenty minutes; the Villoresi canal carries the cycle path that cuts across Brianza. Not a postcard destination — but it tells better than most postcards how Milan's hinterland actually lives.
