Casarile

Welcome to Casarile: a town of cheese and history

Hello everyone, today I will talk about Casarile, a charming Italian municipality located in the metropolitan city of Milan. The name derives from the place where cheese was made and stored, but there is also another curious hypothesis that associates it with the first house present in the area, near a small stream.

Furthermore, the territory of Casarile is characterized by four historic hamlets: Colombera, Melone, Porchera, and Zavanasco, the latter annexed to the municipality since the time of the Austrians.
