With a population of 26,822, Buccinasco is a sprawling suburb that offers little to entice foreign residents. The comune was formed in 1841 by merging several small agricultural hamlets, and it remained a quiet country town until the 1950s when an influx of migrants from southern Italy transformed it into an industrial hub. Today, the main draw is the Visconti Castle and Villa Durini-Borromeo, but bureaucracy is a persistent headache for newcomers. Unless you have a specific need to live in the greater Milan area, there are more appealing options for those seeking an Italian lifestyle.
