Cesate (Scesaa pronounced as /ʃeˈzaː/, pronounced as /ʃɪˈzɑː/) is a comune (municipality) in the Metropolitan City of Milan in the Italian region Lombardy, located about 17km (11miles) northwest of Milan.
Cesate borders the following municipalities: Limbiate, Solaro, Caronno Pertusella, Senago, Garbagnate Milanese.
The origin of the flag comes from the noble Cixate family.
During the Napoleonic era, the municipality was suppressed by a royal decree of 1809, and annexed to Garbagnate Milanese. Cesate regained its autonomy with the Austrian restoration.
