Lace production put Cantu on the map long before its basketball team did. The town's bobbin lace tradition, documented since the sixteenth century, grew into an industry that by the late 1800s employed thousands of women working from home workshops across the Brianza district. Today, about 39,917 residents live in this municipality in the Province of Como, situated on hilly ground between Como and Milan at an elevation of roughly 370 metres. The furniture sector overtook lacemaking during the twentieth century, and Cantu remains one of Italy's principal centres for high-end wood furniture, with dozens of manufacturers and showrooms clustered along the roads toward Mariano Comense and Cantu itself.
Pallacanestro Cantu, founded in 1936, brought the town international recognition through European basketball competitions in the 1970s and 1980s, winning the FIBA European Champions Cup in 1982. The PalaBancoDesio arena (now shared with Desio) and the earlier PalaCantu have hosted decades of Serie A basketball. Beyond sport, the Basilica di San Paolo, dating to the eleventh century with Romanesque frescoes, and the fifteenth-century Palazzo Arese stand among the town's older structures.
