Villa Magentino
A villa is a type of house that was originally an ancient Roman upper class country house. Since its origins in the Roman villa, the idea and function of a villa have evolved considerably. After the fall of the Roman Republic, villas became small farming compounds, which were increasingly fortified in Late Antiquity, sometimes transferred to the Church for reuse as a monastery. Then they gradually re-evolved through the Middle Ages into elegant upper-class country homes. In the Early Modern period, any comfortable detached house with a garden near a city or town was likely to be described as a villa; most survivals have now been engulfed by suburbia. In modern parlance, "villa" can refer to various types and sizes of residences, ranging from the suburban semi-detached double villa to, in some countries, especially around the Mediterranean, residences of above average size in the countryside. Roman Roman villas included: * the ''villa urbana'', a suburban or country seat th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Moncucco
Moncucco was an autonomous Italian municipality until March 30, 1871, when due to a royal decree it became a hamlet of the town of Brugherio, established in 1866. The actual village is located south of Brugherio, along the road that leads from Milan to Vimercate. History Origins Etymology The origin of the name ''Moncucco'' is discordant. For some, it is a French loan word ''mon cucco'', meaning "my cuckoo"; others hold, including Cesare Cantù, it is a term derived from the name of various countries and French farmhouses called ''Moncuc''. Ancient period and Middle Ages The oldest evidence of the existence of Moncucco derives from two Roman inscriptions in the town of Malnido, (part of Moncucco between 1769 and 1871). This confirms the Roman origin of the ancient town (as well as Brugherio). The Moncucco' centre was a small hill, where a castle was built in the Middle Ages, being used as a country residence. In 1000 AD this castle was located near an ancient chariot roa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
