EspañolVIMERCATE
'Vimercate' is a city in the Lombardy region of Italy. It is 25 kilometres from Milan and 10 from Monza. It is now comprised in the province of Milan, but from 2009 it will be part of the new Monza e Brianza province. Commune area 20.73 km², 2001 population 25,536.
The city was originally founded by the Romans on the banks of the river Molgora. It has many treasures such as Saint Stephen's Basilica, the Church of Virgin Mary and the oldest, still functioning, Roman bridge in northern Italy (Ponte di San Rocco). The area of Oreno still conserves its medieval look with an eleventh century monastery, Saint Michael's Church and the stately homes Villa Gallarati-Scotti and Borromeo.
The town is projected towards the future thanks to new developments such as the Torri Bianche skyscrapers which host a 16 screen cinema, a shopping arcade and many county offices plus the new Central Bus Station designed by Mario Botta in 1998, which serves the aerea and has many facilities.
On the east side of the city, rises the "Centro Scolastico Omnicomprensivo", a scholastic centre, which is known for the quality and high standards of the "Licei" (High Schools). Particularly renowned is the Scientific and Classic Liceo "Antonio Banfi".
Within the communal borders there are many parks, used for concerts and shows.
