Monza and Brianza (Province) Italy

The Province of Monza and Brianza is an administrative province in the Lombardy region of Italy. It was officially created by splitting the north‑eastern part from the Province of Milan on 12 May 2004, and it became fully operational after the provincial elections of 6 and 7 June 2009. The province had a population of 871,735 (2017), spread across 55 communes. It covers an area of 405 square kilometres (156 sq mi), making it one of the smallest provincial territories in Italy, with a population of about 0.9 million and a population density of more than 2,000 people per square kilometre. This is due to its heavily urbanised territory, which forms part of the wider Milan urban area. The capital and largest commune is Monza (population 123,776 as of 2017), located only 15 kilometres (9 mi) from Milan. Other major municipalities include Seregno, Desio, Limbiate, Lissone, Vimercate, Cesano Maderno and Brugherio. The province borders the provinces of Lecco and Como to the north, Varese to the west, Bergamo to the east and the Metropolitan City of Milan to the south‑east.
