Moncucco was an autonomous Italian municipality until March 30, 1871, when due to a royal decree it became a hamlet of the town of Brugherio, established in 1866.

With the imperial crisis following the Investiture Controversy, between the eleventh and twelfth centuries, the young town of Monza[6] Moncucco broke away, together with San Damiano and Cassina Baraggia, which were established as autonomous municipalities by their own right.

[3] At number 107 of street Viale Lombardia in Moncucco, where the seat of the town hall is located, the coat of arms of the hamlet can still be appreciated, made of carved stone and placed where the front door of the building once stood.

The 1546 census shows the large amount of fodder possessed by families in Moncucco, considered an index of relative comfort.

Moncucco was part of the Court of Monza, which, although geographically situated in the Peasantry of Martesana, in 1559 came under the jurisdiction of the magistrate of Milan for matters of civil and criminal problems, for public order and for the distribution of fodder.

In the report of a visit of Cardinal Federico Borromeo found at the latter church, the parish of Saint Bartholomew also incorporated Moncucco, which at that time counted fifty inhabitants.

[11] Maria Theresa, daughter of Charles VI, established a new council of the Census not only to complete her father's previous one, but also to better implement taxes and administrative reforms, leading to the formation of the decision-making body of Moncucco, Convocato degli estimati.

[1] In 1769 the Government established the aggregation of many small towns under Moncucco for the Census, even if against the advice of people such as San Cristoforo, Moglia, Dorderio, Guzzina, Pobbia, Malnido[13] and Bettolino Freddo.

The old law of 1470, set by Galeazzo Sforza, established a maximum number of mulberry trees for every one hundred perches: sericulture and silk production were still flourishing during the Austrian government.

[1] From Villa Sormani's park in Moncucco on 13 March 1784, Count Paolo Andreani made a famous ascension with a balloon, the first instance of human flight in Italy.

[1] Between 1855 and 1873 municipalities were again recorder while new maps were procured:[14] the census was conducted between the end of Austrian domination and the formation of Italy as a unified state.

[1] Initially with the Royal Decree signed by Vittorio Emanuele II on December 8, 1866, the Municipality of Brugherio and States was constituted, including part of the territory belonging to Monza, the whole center, Baraggia and Sant'Ambrogio.

[2] Subsequently, the Edict of March 30, 1871 of the Census Board, established the incorporation of Moncucco (excluding Malnido) and San Damiano, which had remained autonomous until then.

On March 30 that same year, with Decree number 84912, Sant'Alessandro was removed from the town and joined with Moncucco, together with Occhiate's territory; Malnido Bettolino Freddo went under the municipality of Cologno Monzese.

[2] When they began the bombing of Milan, between 1942 and 1943, the company's main factory was moved to Brugherio, after the purchase of Villa Sormani by the Stanzani lords.
