After the Second World war the citizens of Parabiago are engaged to consolidate, to widen and to modernize to the own structures with outcome much good. Many, from the null one, have given life to productive structures that notorieties have fastly conquered on the domestic market and international. If the industry of the footwear cannot be more, considered the exclusive Queen of the field it is sure that it maintains an eminent role in the economic structure of our city.
