Tribiano

Tribiano (Lombard: Tribian [triˈbjãː]) is a comune (municipality) in the Province of Milan in the Italian region Lombardy, about 20 kilometres (12 mi) southeast of Milan. As of 31 December 2004 it had a population of 2512 and an area of 7.0 square kilometres (2.7 mi). Tribiano borders the following municipalities: Paullo, Mediglia, Mulazzano, Colturano, Dresano. Since 1861 (year of Italian Unification) the population had a big increase, mostly in the 2000s, due an increase of people moving in Tribiano. Since 1861 the population went to 785 people, 864 in 1951, to 1193 in 1991 and 3623 in 2021. The foundation of Tribiano dates back to Roman times. At the time it was a small agricultural village called Trebianus, which was crossed by an important Roman road, the Via Regina, which connected the river port of Cremona (modern Cremona) with Mediolanum (Milan). Later it was part of the Lodi area and its diocese. In the Napoleonic age (1809) Paullo became a hamlet of Tribiano. After the Second Italian War of Independence, following the enactment of the Rattazzi Decree (1859), the municipality was assigned to the province of Milan.
