Sesto San Giovanni: Museums, Exhibitions & Discounts

Sesto San Giovanni is a city in the Metropolitan City of Milan, Lombardy. Once known as the "Stalingrad of Italy" due to its significant industrial heritage and strong working-class presence, the city underwent a major transformation from its industrial past.

During the 20th century, it was one of Italy's most important industrial centers, home to major companies like Falck (steel), Breda (engineering), and Magneti Marelli (automotive). Today, while preserving its industrial heritage through various cultural initiatives and museums, the city has evolved into a modern urban center. The industrial archaeology sites and converted factory spaces serve as important cultural landmarks, telling the story of Italy's industrial revolution and labor movement.

The city continues to maintain its distinct identity while being well-connected to Milan's metropolitan area.
