==== Ancient period and Middle Ages ====

The oldest evidence of Moncucco are two roman inscriptions of the town of Malnido (today<ref>Today S. Maurizio al Lambro, a hamlet of Cologno Monzese)</ref> that between 1769 and 1871 was part of Moncucco. This confirms the roman origin of the ancient town (and Brugherio).<ref name= anonimo/>

The primordial nucleus of Moncucco is on a small hill, where in the Middle Ages a castle was built (on the ruins of which in '700 was built Villa Sormani) used as a country residence. SInce1000 it was this castle, near the ancient chariot road and located in a reclaimed area. With the crisis of imperial, following the investiture struggle, between the eleventh and twelfth centuries, it began flourishing stage inside the city: by the young town of Monza (perhaps of late eleventh century) broke away Moncucco, San Damiano and Cassina Baraggia, which were established as autonomous municipalities. Monza was the capital of the territory of the Martesana, which included the entire territory of Brugherio (Moncucco, San Damiano and Cassina Baraggia), following a grant in 1158 of Frederick Barbarossa who favored the freedom of the town at the expense of Milan, the city of the Emperor's enemy. The news about Moncucco are sporadic: for example, it known that in 1339 an exceptional flood of Lambro river hit some areas of the Brugherio including Malnido and Moglia, coming up to Moncucco.<ref name= anonimo/>
