This paper analyses the economic and social causes of the significant phenomenon of emigration which affected the Mandamento di Cuggiono between the 1880s and the 1920s. The paper demonstrates that the mass-emigration which occurred in this area of the Milanese did not represent a new phenomenon, but constituted a prosecution, on a larger scale, of previous migrant traditions, which had for decades represented a structural feature of the local economy. Therefore, the paper aims to contribute to the historiography on Italian emigration, which has for long neglected the northern regions of the country and particularly Lombardy.
