THE BEGINNING OF THE HISTORY OF LAINATE

For many centuries the picture of the life of a country is given from the written up document analysis on behalf of clerical institutions, in how much the religious authority had replaced to that civilian since the age of the landslide of the Roman Empire. The first documents that we have regard to the territory of more ancient Lainate are of this matrix. It has been recovered near the archives of the Understood one it of the monastery of S. Ambrogio and is be a matter of a parchment very conserved, of seven skins, dated 867. The document written up for a division of assets between the Basilica of S. Ambrogio and the church of It knows Nabore and Felice regards also a plot of ground on the 'via Latenasca'.

To the term of written the notary public the route of the Via Latenasca, combining Hudrugium (Origgio) to that we think can be the inhabited nail head of the ancient one of Lainate, and, in green, the spots of that wooded complex affixes a sketch where is reproduced that extended from the Groane to the Olona. Sure is therefore that the Monastero di S. Ambrogio in Milan, founded to the end of the VIII century., already had, or however began to having from this moment, possessions in the territory of Lainate.

Then we have news of a sale carried out in January of the 1012 from Ambrogio, priest of the Decumen of the from Milan, official church of the Basilica of Saint Vittore, law longobard and son of was Adraldo, of the place of Lainate, and of a stipulated lease contract 12 May 1042 between the Abbess of the Grande Monastero of Milan and Angelberto miller son of was Angelberto di Lainate.
