A quaint and convenient corner
Overview
Villapizzone is just... nice.
A place you want to live in. A place you want to look after. A place you want to call home.
This suburb has a lot of green areas, clean roads and well-kept houses. The result is a small town with a big heart.
It’s diverse, too. Students, professionals and families alike all come to Villapizzone to settle. Students can walk to the Milan Politecnico La Masa campus in less than 20 minutes. Professionals can get to Milan city centre in 20 minutes by train.
And families can enjoy the safety and tranquility of the area!
Looking further afield, you also get a glimpse of natural Milan. Parque Giardino Giovanni Testori is just one example.
So what can we take from this? Villapizzone is a pretty, safe, convenient, familial and happy place.

What can I do here?
Head north to the nearby Parco Franco Verga. You can act like a grown up or a child, whichever you choose!
In the summer, let the kids’ enjoy the play park’s water features! And adults, you can take a jog down tree-lined avenues. Or, take the easy way out and get a drink at Chiringuito del Parco.
The younger generation can find varied student events hosted in the area. Jealous.
Grown-ups, this is a perfect neighbourhood to simply take a walk. Enjoy wide roads and meet local dog-walkers as you work off the week’s stress.
And now it’s time to eat…
L'immagine Bistrot is the place to be. Carnivores, get out your knives and forks - they are meat specialists! Expect big portions and plump potatoes.
And when Saturday night comes around, hop on the tram and go down to Milan in just 20 minutes. Expect bright lights and late nights.
Bandit fact
In the 1500s an inn in Villapizzone was notorious for a band of brigands operating in the nearby forests. Boo!
