๐ฎ๐น Sesto San Giovanni, locally referred to as just Sesto, is a comune in the Metropolitan City of Milan, Lombardy, northern Italy. Its railway station is the northernmost stop on the Milan Metro M1 line. The comune has the honorary title of city, despite being a de facto suburb of Milan.
An unimportant agglomerate of buildings until the 19th century, Sesto San Giovanni grew during the end of the 19th century and in the early 20th century, becoming the site of several industries, including companies such as Falck, Campari, Magneti Marelli and Breda. In that period the population increased rapidly. After World War II, Sesto became populated by many migrants from other parts of Italy. Sesto used to be referred to as the "Stalingrad of Italy", due to the strong historical presence of the Italian Communist Party and to its resistance to fascism in World War Two.
Because of its diverse and growing industries, Sesto has drawn many immigrants. Census statistics from 2016 state that 17% of the population is composed of immigrants.
In the 1990s, Sesto San Giovanni suffered an economic crisis, and most of the larger companies in the town closed their premises. The town partially succeeded in converting its economy from steel production to service industries. Several large companies opened offices in Sesto, such as ABB Group, WIND Telecommunications, Impregilo and Oracle Corporation.
Sesto San Giovanni received the honorary title of city by presidential decree on 10 April 1954.
Sesto San Giovanni has a population of over 81,770 people. Sesto San Giovanni also forms one of the centres of the wider Milan metropolitan area which has a population of over 6,200,000 people. Sesto San Giovanni is situated north of the centre of Milan.
