Brugherio is a northern Italian municipality ( comune ) with 35,255 inhabitants (as of December 31, 2019) in the province of Monza and Brianza in Lombardy . The municipality has city rights by presidential decree of January 1967. The municipality borders on the metropolitan city of Milan , to which it belonged until the province of Monza and Brianza (2004) was detached from the same. Monza is about three kilometers to the north-northwest, Milan about six kilometers to the southwest.

The community name comes from the Italian name of the heather. The Lambro , a tributary of the Po, flows west of the municipality .

A monastery was built here in the 4th century, so that settlement dates back to ancient times.
