Legnano is a small Italian town located in the northern Italian region of Lombardy. It is approximately 20 kilometers from the popular city of Milan. There is 58,013 inhabitants (3/2009) living in Legnano. The town is only 17 square kilometers in size. Because of the very historic Battle of Legnano fought in 1176 between the Holy Roman Empire and the Lombard League, it is the only town in Italy (aside from Rome) that is named in Italy’s national anthem. To commemorate this battle, the town holds a Palio delle Contrade.
