Lombardy's Alto Milanese corridor runs northwest from Milan through a chain of industrial towns, and Legnano (57,589 inhabitants) has been its economic anchor since the textile boom of the late 1800s. The Battle of Legnano on 29 May 1176, in which the Lombard League defeated Emperor Frederick Barbarossa, gave the city national symbolic importance - Alberto da Giussano's monument stands in Piazza San Magno. Every year since 1935, the Palio di Legnano reenacts the medieval conflict with a horse race between the city's eight contrade.
Franco Tosi, the heavy-machinery manufacturer founded here in 1882, employed thousands and shaped the city's industrial identity until its gradual downsizing in the late 20th century. Today the economy centres on small and medium enterprises in textiles, mechanics, and food processing, supplemented by retail along Corso Magenta and Corso Italia.
