Settimo Milanese (Milanese: Settim pronounced as /ˈsɛtim/) is a comune (municipality) in the Province of Milan in the Lombardy region of Italy. It is about 9km (06miles) west of the city centre of Milan.
The industrial district of Castelletto is home to Italtel and STMicroelectronics.
Settimo Milanese borders Rho, Milan, Cornaredo, and Cusago.
It's believed that the name comes from the distance between Settimo and Milan: it is in fact located near the seventh milestone of the road from Milan to Novara. The epithet "Milanese" was added after the unification of Italy to distinguish it from other towns with the same name.
