History
[edit]Documented references to a comune namedVillalbadate back to at least 1346. Whenpieveswere established in the Milanese territory, Villalba was assigned to the pieve ofBollate.DuringNapoleonicrule, Vialba was annexed to Bollate itself, but regained its autonomy with theKingdom of Lombardy–Venetia.
In 1841, Vialba was again annexed to another comune,Musocco,which in turn became part of Milan in 1923.
Vialba remained a rural district until afterWorld War II;thereafter, it developed into a low-income housing residential area, seamlessly connected to the adjacent residential district ofQuarto Oggiaro.Vialba and Quarto Oggiaro are sometimes referred to, collectively, as the "quartiere of Vialba-Quarto Oggiaro".[1]
One of Milan's prominent hospitals, theLuigi Saccohospital, was formerly known as "Sanatorio Vialba", although nowadays the area of the hospital is usually considered part of theRoseriorather than the Vialba district.
Footnotes
[edit]- ^Although "quartieri" (districts) are often mentioned in formal documents, they are not formal entities themselves. As a consequence, there is no exact partitioning of Milan into quartieri, and the boundaries are not rigorously defined.
