Trezzano Rosa and Trezzano sul Naviglio, some forty kilometres apart, became namesakes through a series of exchanges. This village was called Derzano — so it appears in 1045 and still in 1398, in the survey ordered by Gian Galeazzo Visconti — and the form Trezzano came to it by analogy with Trezzo, to whose pieve it belonged; then that same form was extended to the other village, which had previously been called Trenzano.
When the two names ended up coinciding, something had to be done: in 1862 a royal decree added the Rosa to this one, from the sixteenth-century sanctuary of the Blessed Virgin of the Rosary, while the other got the sul Naviglio. Until after the Second World War Trezzano remained a country village living on farming and silkworms: it was the women who raised them, in the courtyards that still today form the historic core of the built-up area.
