Cologno Monzese ( ) is a "comune" (municipality) in the Metropolitan City of Milan in the Italian region of Lombardy, located about northeast of Milan.The population increased substantially after World War II, when many people from Southern Italy settled here (especially from Apulia).After being subject for a long time to the influence exerted by San Maurizio al Lambro (which is now part of the municipality as a hamlet) Cologno received the honorary title of city with a presidential decree on September 19, 1996.
