History

Until the late '20s, Cinisello and Balsamo, and there were two separate municipalities. By royal decree, at September 13th of 1928 was arranged the merger, forming the current common. As a symbol, the emblem of the city now encompasses those of the two municipalities merged: the emblem of the pastoral and the sword on a red field in fact belong to Balsamo, the rampant crowned lion on a blue field belong to Cinisello.

Origin of the Name

Villa Ghirlanda.

Cinisello (from the Latin Cinis, "Ashes", through cinixellum, indicating the fertility of the land from the ashen color, but traditional, though not exactly confirmed - even if you have found Roman remains in the area - is the theory that "Cinisello" comes from "Cinisi Aelii", "Ash Elio", a Roman gens had here, probably, a branch of the Imperial Age) is the western part of the city. In another theory (also not exactly confirmed) resulting from studies done in the Historical Archive of Arms would be that both Cini, both Sello, were ancient and noble Houses from Trentino who settled in the area, providing their names to the same, which were decorated with the title of nobility with special merit achieved for works done in favor of the Fatherland. Balsamo (perhaps "the balsam tree", but it might just be the surname of a noble family and elders of the town in the Middle Ages) is the eastern half.
