Brianza is a hilly region at the foot of the Alps, in north-western Lombardy. It is next Milan, extending from the North of it, but not including the city. Brianza extends from Canzo (North) to the Monza zone (South) (at 3 km from Milan), and from Seveso river (West) to the Adda river (East). In the middle of Brianza there is the Lambro river. The most important towns are Monza (S), Cantù (C-N-W), Erba (N), Merate (C-N-E), Lissone and Desio (S), Mariano Comense (C) and Canzo (N). The language spoken in this region is Brianzöö , an Insubric dialect. Brianza has historically been the hearth of the Longobard reign in the middle ages, and Monza was its capital.
