History

The history of the municipality of Vanzaghello is fascinating. The municipality was born in the Middle Ages as a parish seat and was suppressed for the first time on November 4, 1809, but was nullified by the Austrians upon their return. However, municipal autonomy was proposed again by Vittorio Emanuele II on March 10, 1869, and on May 28, 1968, municipal autonomy was restored by the splitting of the homonymous fraction from the municipality of Magnago.

Regarding municipal administrations, the first ones were composed of majorities belonging to the Christian Democratic Party, while the Italian Communist Party and the Italian Socialist Party remained in opposition. In the 90s, center-right administrations followed with left-wing and league minorities. Since 2004, a center-left administration with the "Together for Vanzaghello" list has been leading the country, confirmed in the June 2009 and 2014 elections.
