 | | Monza (Modicia) was a minor Roman settlement, selected by the Lombard king Theodoric, for his capital, and its first important associations are with Theodelinda, the Lombard queen. |
 | | In the Middle Ages, the commune of Monza was sometimes independent, sometimes subject to Milan and the Visconti. |
 | | In the course of its history Monza stood thirty-two sieges, but the Porta d'Agrate is the only vestige of its walls and fortifications. |
