Abbiategrasso, formerly written Abbiate Grasso (local ; Milanese: ), is a comune and town in the Metropolitan City of Milan, Lombardy, northern Italy, situated in the Po valley approximately from Milan and from Pavia. [edit] History
The town dates from Roman times. Its name indicates that it was part of a territory known as "'the fertile valley": a document of 1304 referring to the Habiate qui dicitur Grasso, a title that gradually transformed into Abbiategrasso. Abbiategrasso received the honorary title of city with a royal decree of 31 March 1932. [edit] Research Tips
