The traces of this ancient past are testified by the discovery of important archeological relics, on exhibition in the local museum called “Carlo Verri” after the name of the renowned family of Counts Verri, famous representatives of the Italian Enlightment. The relics consist of an invaluable treasure of imperial coins, found in the proximity of the remains of an ancient “Domus” built by a roman Nobleman and is the second discovery for historical importance. During the following centuries, Biassono became the summer residence for many noble families from Milan, who wanted to spend their holidays in the fresh air of the countryside, where they had their impressive estates built, a few kilometers from the city, only five from Monza. Monza used to be the country of the Longobardi people and of queen Teodolinda and later became the seat of the summer mansion of the italian royal family, the Savoia. The mansion, Villa Reale in Italian, is not far from Biassono and can be easily reached through the park of Monza. Nowadays Biassono, which lies in the heart of the Milanese Brianza, shares with the province of Monza and with Lombardy the economic leadership in the manufacturing sector, which contributes dramatically to the prosperity and welfare of a dynamic social environment well connected to the public life through the presence of numerous associations operating in the third sector.
