Quinto Romano
Quinto Romano ( lmo, label=Milanese, Quint) is a district (''quartiere'') of Milan, Italy, part of the Zone 7 administrative division of the city. Before being annexed to Milan, it was an autonomous ''comune'' (until 1869) and a ''frazione'' of Trenno (from 1869 to 1923). Quinto Romano was a rural district until the 1960s; the land was then partitioned into 8-9 ''cascine'' (farms). In the following decades, as most of the Milanese rural outskirts, Quinto experienced a quick urbanization process as a consequence of the economic boom of northern Italy and immigration from the south, which caused a quick expansion of Milan and other industrial cities. As is the case with other outskirts that have experienced this rapid development in those decades, Quinto gained the reputation of a socially and economically degraded district. Quinto houses "Aquatica", the most important waterpark A water park (or waterpark, water world) is an amusement park that features water play areas such as ...
