History
History
Due to its strategic location, Melzo maintained historical relations with both Milan and Venice. From the 16th century onward, Melzo’s economy was primarily based on agriculture. By the 19th century, it had developed into an industrial centre focused on the textile sector. In the 20th century, its economic base shifted to the dairy industry, particularly the processing of milk and the production of various types of cheese.
