The name of the district derives from the Cascina Triante located at the center of the neighborhood, which was equipped with three entries (in dialect: Triant). Since then the post-war period, the Cascina was demolished and thence forward in its place stands a bank. The District of Triante is one of the most famous of the city, in addition to the geographical position in the area there are several residential buildings, banks and shops, a multiplex cinema and a parish, bicycle lanes, three public schools and many local nightclubs that of daytime.
Degradation[edit]
The neighborhood in recent years has encountered numerous problems associated with the use of prostitution, this phenomenon has occurred in the district for its proximity to the Avenue Lombardia (known as SS36), affecting not only the area of the Avenue in question but also the streets adjacent to it: Duca d'Aosta, Andrea Doria, Vittorio Veneto and Carlo Emanuele I.
In the fall of 2008, the municipality of Monza adopted restrictive measures to combat this problem, installing cameras in the areas concerned, in order to discourage the customers of fireflies and reduce the risk of wrongful discharge of waste.
Sports[edit]
Triante is home to several sport facilities in the city:

- Tennis courts on the Via Pitagora
- The Oratorio Don Bosco in Via Duca d'Aosta, just behind the church
- The football field (used by Ges Monza), football and golf.
