Quarto Oggiaro (Lombard: Quart Oggiee [ˈkwart uˈdʒeː]) is a district of Milan in the north-west of the city, part of zone 8.
The name Quarto Oggiaro derives from an older toponymy Quarto Uglerio: the word Quarto, meanining fourth, is clearly reference to the distance of four Roman miles from the center of Milan, while the second part of the name, Uglerio, but it is supposed to be the name of some influent inhabitant of the area in ancient times.
The transformation from Uglerio to Oggiaro can be found on the maps of 1872, but already present on some maps of the Spanish period.
Quarto Oggiaro borders to:
The border with the municipality of Novate Milanese is a few hundred meters to the south of the Autostrada A4 (Italy) highway in the span between Svincolo Milano Certosa and Milano Cormano exit. Currently this area is a grassland.
The ferrovie nord railway Milan - Saronno along the section between Milano Bovisa-Politecnico railway station and Milano Quarto Oggiaro railway station divides the area from zone 9, while the border with Villapizzone is bordered by the stretch of the Turin-Milan railway between the station in Milano Certosa railway station and Milano Centrale railway station up to the junction with the ferrovie nord Milan - Saronno.
In today's breakdown of neighborhoods and statistics for the calculation of the population, it is believed the axis Via Eritrea - Via Lessona as the way of demarcation between Quarto Oggiaro and Vialba, in fact even numbers of these pathways belong to Quarto Oggiaro and numbers odd to the neighborhood Vialba. The original core of the Quarto Oggiaro lies along the axis of the Via Aldini now considered part of the neighborhood Vialba. Nothing prevents you refer to that part and up to the border with Villa Scheibler with its original name, Quarto Oggiaro.
Villa Scheibler, the ancient hunting lodge with its park, is also historically Vialba.
