Lampugnano is a district (quartiere) ofMilan,Italy, part of theZone 8 administrative division of the city. Until 1841, it was an autonomouscomune. A prominent structure of Lampugnano isPalaSharp, which used to be one of Milan's majorindoor arenas, housing sporting events, concerts, live shows and political meetings. The nearbyMilan Metro subway is also adjacent to abus terminal and a major parking, and is thus a reference place for manycommuters who travel daily to the city from the western part of theMetropolitan City of Milan.
Lampugnano existed as a distinct settlement at least since theMiddle Ages. When the Milanese area was subdivided intopieves, Lampugnano was assigned to the pieve ofTrenno. DuringNapoleonic rule it was briefly annexed to Milan (1808–1816), but regained its independence with theKingdom of Lombardy–Venetia. In 1841 Lampugnano ceased to exist as an autonomous comune and was annexed to Trenno, which in turn became part of Milan in 1923.
UntilWorld War II, Lampugnano maintained its rural character, but thereafter experienced a quick urbanization process, along with adjacent district such asQT8 andGallaratese.
