Trenno is a district ("quartiere") ofMilan,Italy, part of theZone 8 administrative division of the city. It borders on green areas to the north and west (on the Boscoincittà city park) and to the south (on the Parco di Trenno); to the east, it is adjacent to theGallaratese district. Before being annexed to Milan, in 1923, it was an autonomouscomune.
The district is mostly residential, with low- and medium-income apartment blocks dominating its skyline, although the centre has maintained much of the flavour of a country town (as well as a cascina, "Cascina Campi"); it also has large green areas, the most important of which is the eponymous Parco di Trenno. The district is quite isolated from Milan, being connected to the centre by a single bus line and a few thoroughfare, some of which were still country roads until the late 1990s. The closest stop of theMilan Metro subway is inBonola, about 1 km from Trenno.
The settlement of Trenno exists at least since theMiddle Ages as a ruralborgo close to theOlona river. In the 19th century the settlement consisted on severalcascine (farmhouses), some of which would later spawn independent settlements such asQuarto Cagnino,Quinto Romano andFigino, which would be annexed back to Trenno in 1869. All of these are now districts of Milan.
