Pioltello is the industrious Martesana: grown along the railway and the Cassanese road, it holds together the old core around the parish church of Sant'Andrea, the farmstead hamlet of Limito and new quarters among Italy's youngest and most plural — dozens of nationalities live side by side, their schools a laboratory often covered by the national press.
The Besozza wood, reclaimed as a park, is the green sign of reconversion. Milan is twelve minutes by train: Pioltello is one of its eastern doors, with the Idroscalo lake and Linate airport a step away.
