San Giorgio su Legnano
Skip for a short stay; visit as a quick stop from Milan or Legnano, 2–3 h total, only if you want the local churches or Villa Parravicini.
San Giorgio su Legnano is a small industrial town 20 km northwest of Milan. It has no train station and limited attractions, so a half‑day visit is enough unless you are staying in nearby Legnano or Milan.

- Dress: Smart-casual in cities; covered shoulders and knees in churches; avoid: Beachwear, bare chests and flip-flops away from the beach

- Restaurants: Wait to be seated and ask for the bill; avoid: Splitting a bill item by item with a large group
- Conversation: Food, football and family are safe openers; avoid: Mafia jokes and north–south stereotypes
